Nannies Invasion...:)

Sounds fun! I just make sure there's a teenager in the house - older siblings aren't allowed to go to college unless their parents have enough vacation days! (If necessary they have to stay teens with the elixir!

I haven't actually had nanny-concerns in ages, because my houses are more elder-heavy: There tends to be at least 3 or 4 elders in the family waiting to kick it, due to a one-child policy. And the reason the elders all live there is because the REAL problem is not actually the number of sims, but the number of families: Each additional family adds extra drag weight on the playing of the neighborhood, and so my end goal is to actually downsize the number of families by merging them together through aforementioned one-child policy: When the two single children of a family marry, that effectively merges the two families together. You'll notice this effect in Maxian ancestral families, where most of them do not have siblings and are only-children that thus ends up merging 2-4 families together into one person.

Like a population study a year or so back which showed one lone Japanese sitting on an enormous empty beach!

:"For some strange reason, when one of my Greek house males invited a friend over, the friend he asked if he could bring with him was Christina Despond (why a nanny to a Greek house?) and now she won't leave."
I gave the whole nanny issue some deep thought (over a cup of tea) a while ago and concluded it's because Nanny's need their vehicle to leave the lot. They are just like my Mum, they can arrive on foot but expect a lift home. :)

Do you use the storytelling feature with your families, or do you just use them for alpha and beta testing?

No, I don't use the storytelling feature, although I do play them for more than just testing (although I'm not above enlisting them as guinea pigs if the test is expected to be nondestructive - I have a neighborhood of hapless slapped-together sods for the really mean stuff). I do, however, occasionally take snapshots for the perusal of others, but I don't generally write elaborate stories about them. It'd get pretty repetitive if I did. Besides, what's the point of filling in everyone's SimBio, "This is So-and-So. He is mean, and likes to scowl. Do not feed him."
