What makes a nanny good at their job?
eevilcat:
I like the chaos factor, like when the nanny fed a pregnant sim cheesecake before I noticed. ;D
Looking in SimPE my nanny's stats are:
Aries with Neat 4, Outgoing 6, Active 5, Playful 1, Nice 6
Cooking 6, Mechanical 10, Charisma 6, Body 2, Logic 5, Creativity 2.58, Cleaning 5
Aspiration is something called Reputation which I've never noticed before but assume that it's a NPC thing
Not sure how relevant interests are but work is a low 1.3 so maybe she's just not interested in doing her job well. ::)
I was hoping just to tweak a value or two to make her more included to bathe kiddies and do housework.

I think part of the sadorandom nature of nannies is that you will occasionally get a competent one who doesn't try to burn the house down, but there's nothing you can actually do to make it more likely. Well, except killing the ones who hang around after hours to sabotage the headmaster visit by constantly stealing his espresso.

I think 'Reputation' was the original name for Popularity that still shows up in some older characters.

You want her more likely to do housework? All my nannies ever want to do is housework! They regularly put a meal in the oven, then stalk all the way across the house to empty a potty, or scrub a sink. The only competent nanny I've ever had was high outgoing, nice and playful, and low everything else.
As for bathing kiddies, Sims have two settings: obsessive and ignore. Ignore is far better. I like to get the kid fed and bathed before the stupid nanny comes, so the stupid nanny doesn't have to interact with it at all.

I would recommend christianlov's all in one NPC, including the nanny, but it seems like it's slightly borked with Seasons, and c. said they wouldn't update until April. This worked perfectly for me before, but now the nanny is constantly interrupting the toddlers from skilling by picking them up and putting them someplace random. Suck! And the babycontroller is unclickable for me right now.
I am seriously considering making all my couples gleefully childless. :D
