Generations: What Sucks, What's Fucked, and What Did EA Get Right by Utter Luck

<< < (56/75) > >>

Tangie:
I played the daycare profession for a short while with no hacks installed. There is not supposed to be a way to control the kids or show the kids' stats other than the info that will pop up when you point the cursor at them or their thought bubbles. The child care worker is supposed to watch them carefully enough so they notice the info and do something about it if need be. Also, at 7pm one mother came to pick up one kid but the other was left for several hours. She finally arrived, paid childcare worker an extra 120 simoleans for 'watching kid while she ran some errands'.

So it may not work like you wanted it to, but it sounds like it's working the way EA intended!  ;)

Pelasope:
By "status" I meant the info that says "so and so is a little hungry", not actual motive bars. I get the way EA intended it to be played and I'd be happy to play it that way, but right now it seems to be pretty broken. I started a new sim in a new clean neighborhood, and on their first day of being a daycare worker, no kids were delivered but a random toddler was sitting by the side of the road nearby. Again my Sim couldn't interact with this kid at all, not even the "NRAAS" button showed up when clicking on the toddler; shift-click also brought up nothing, and certainly there was no option to feed or play with this vagrant.

The good news about having the error happen so early is that hopefully I can narrow down whether it's an AM or Twallan or EA caused-problem.

PlumbJohn:
Did anyone notice that with the new "Read Bedtime Story" feature between adults and "tired" children, you can read skill books. Wonder if you can give them skill boosts fro teen years. Probably not.

floopyboo:
Yes, yes it does. Not a lot, because you don't get much reading in before the kid falls asleep, but the kid does learn from it.

I didn't see a skillbar above the parent's head, so maybe not for them. But for the kid, yes, certainly.

J. M. Pescado:
I am pretty sure the cost you pay for doing all this in docking fees pretty much turns this into a net negative.
