Running a Day Care Center

Thanks, @Scribal_Goddess ! This helps a lot.

Oh this is interesting! You will have to let me know how it plays out.

@JULES1111 - using the method @Scribal_Goddess suggested worked out well for toddlers. I changed it to a preschool setting. I might have to give in on the infants going because my sim was not able to take care of them. The only option was to cuddle. But the toddlers went through their day and the "teacher" was able to do some skilling with them and keep them fed. I was not able to put them to sleep in a crib, but they could go to sleep on their own using toddler beds. I'll post some pics later.

Also...let me just say that this is a very hectic way to play. Seriously...I, as the sim god, was like...is it the weekend yet!? It feels like the poor sim doesn't get a moment to herself and just when it's over, she has just enough time to feed herself, watch a bit of tv or read, go to bed and do it all over again.

Cool! Can't wait for some more pics!

As promised...

Set-up - using the meeting controller and the sim blender, I enrolled the tots and babies into a meeting. Then I made them cousins using the sim blender. This allowed Paloma to interact with them. *Infants are a special case. The only interaction was to cuddle, but she could put them in the swing or the dongle thing.

Paloma is my preschool teacher and this is probably the most lucrative job in the whole city. Why you ask...because I have Monique's child support mod and it auto pays for each child. Currently she receives $200 per day per child, which 4 children means she is earning $800/day and $4k per week! I'm going to have to change that...because I think that's a bit excessive and I also feel like my other sims will be broke in no time. I do like this way, though, because she gets paid and the money is deducted from the family whose children are there. I don't even have to think about it.

Totally unrelated, but I found something in my downloads folder that needs sharing!! This block lets you turn objects at 5 degree increments!! AND the objects are still 100% usable! New favorite object!









Cleanup Time

Another note...I could not change the infant's diapers. They got stinky right as it was time to go home...thank goodness!

@Mstybl95 Awesome pics! That is one lucrative job. :D I wonder why you can't change the infants?

On another note you can not show a really cool object and not tell us where to get it! :joy: That's just cruel man!!! I don't think I have seen that block.

Hahaha...I wasn't sure because I just randomly found the object while looking for something else. Didn't even know what it did until I read the description. So I found it: AnoeskaB's Object Rotator

Figuring out how to use it is tricky so I'll save you the trouble and explain. Place this block (which can also be placed on tables and best of all, on the walk through/around block). Put the item you want to rotate on this black where it will snap into position. While still holding this item, press m to start rotating in 5 degree increments or hold m to speed it up. When it's where you want it, let go of the object. To put the object where you want it, grab the block and move it.

I put an easel at a slight angle very near a wall and my sim was still able to use it.

@Mstybl95 Thank you very much! This will come in very handy! Thanks for the instructions as well! :smiley:
