Automated Baby Controller

I use a full container of smartmilk (5 bottles per Toddler) once...I check periodically to make sure the stupid hasn't crept back, but it never does.
Okay, I did that, but I'm not sure about the stupid. Perhaps it's because she was an older toddler, but the Emmaspawn (Joanne) did not keep her smartmilk glow, in spite of Emma forcefeeding her 5 bottles of smartmilk. Will try again with the next toddler.
Emma:
They don't keep the glow, but if you 'test IQ' on the babycontroller with the toddler selected, it will show you the IQ of the toddler. Mine are typically between 300-400. They don't permanently glow with the smartmilk effect. ;)
Millie:
k, apologies for resurrecting this. I got the baby controller from the directors cut last night.
I am having a problem with it though - I have quads, and I'm using the maxis base game cribs. The adults won't take the babies out of their cribs to change the dirty diapers. They go to the crib, but just stand there. Using the emergency stop function and doing it manually solves the problem, but obviously I can't do this with the nanny.
Any ideas?
Roux:
Have you tried running HCDU to see if you've got a conflict?
But I've also noticed that sometimes with multiple spawn, the adults get a little ADD about which spawn to care for first. Let's say three babies need a diaper change. Both parents will go for the same baby, one parent gets there first, but he just stands there. I cancel that parent's queued action, so the other parent handles the first baby, and after a moment the first parent goes to the second or third baby.
I think it's a case of too many competing priorities. Given enough time they will sort things out, but if it goes on for too long I click Emergency Stop and intervene manually, like you. Most of the time now with more than two babies in a household, I just use the warning box and process things manually.
What I really wish for would be a way to mark caregivers in the household. If I already have a stay-at-home parent, I want that parent to be prioritized for processing babies and toddlers. Some kind of inventory token would be cool. But, Pescado will tell me that it is inefficient, and therefore I suck. Ah, well, I can always dream...
Millie:
No Roux, that would be cool.
So therefore at least two of us suck ;D
