Nothing weirder than a Maxis Nanny

Well I just had the oddest thing happen. At 8.10am the nanny was still not there. A message popped up, "did I have a nanny scheduled as it wasn't good to leave the toddlers home alone". Yes, I said.
8.20 - no nanny. Got one of the teenagers to ring and order a nanny, 'just for now'. Everyone got in the vehicles and left, but not before another message popped up, saying the same thing as before.
Nanny finally arrived, hopped out of the car. Car drove off. Another nanny car arrived, bugger I thought, the scheduled nanny finally arrived. But no. The first nanny walked to the second nanny car, got in and DROVE OFF!
Leaving 2 toddlers on their own for the day. Luckily I have the no social worker hack and Inge's bottomless bottle.
EDIT: OMG How tragic, I'm spending my evening babysitting virtual toddlers. I need to get a life!
I had something very similar happen -- have a post about it around here somewhere. Someone said that it was because I used the cell phone to hire the nanny. I haven't had a need for a nanny since then so I haven't been able to check it out, but I thought I'd mention it in case using the regular house phone is, indeed, the solution.

I've started putting Gnomon's flamingoes on community lots, saves having to tell sims to look at the painting and keeps the non-controllable sims around longer too.
witch:
ta Phyllisp but my sims didn't have cells at the time. :(
I can't see the mind control mirror in buy mode on the community lot, so I'll have a fling with a flamingo. I did use one of Gnomon's flamingoes on the home lot, but it made the game no challenge at all.
ZephyrZodiac:
I normally only use the flamingo of contentment, which only raises levels slightly, but on community lots why not - if you're prepared to use the picture, it's no different except all the sims are equally affected and you don't have to do anything.
Even when you don't normally use the flamingo, it's very helpful while toddlers are learning their skills as it keeps them going long enough to learn walking or talking in one go, and doesn't affect potty training, though it does mean babies never need a nappy change!

Witch, don't use the mirror, its the painting you want. If you use the mirror instead of the painting, your sim might not be able to call a taxi to get back home. Merola's painting on the other hand, works just fine in the community lots.
