Babysitters (Anecdotes Thread)

It is still fairly early in this game. Of the 8 adult sims I started with the third couple is now getting hitched. The house is only partly built (all they can afford so far). It now has a nursery (with 2 babies) and a full kitchen and I'm working on the dining room (only 2 chairs so far - chairs are good for fulfilling the wish to buy something). the beds are in the yard and there is no bathroom (next on the list). On Sunday (a day off) everybody got up, ate breakfast at home (instead of the diner) for a change, then headed to the community centre for toilets and showers. I made sure the kids were fully cared for first, knowing the babysitter probably wouldn't do much. NRass sent a message about an unroutable sim, one of mine that was supposed to be heading to the wedding park. She was reset at home, negating the babysitter who charged me $75 for a half hours work. I sent her directly to the wedding park. The third couple got married, cut the cake, danced with a live band (my family are musicians). The babies progressed from green, to yellow, to orange, to red. I keep looking at the home lot. Often the babysitter will do something when you are watching. I can't find the babysitter. There is only one floor so far since I can't afford the second yet. The basement is an empty space with no stairs yet. I checked anyway, just in case. They aren't hiding in the trees playing with the sprinkler like they often do. There is no babysitter.:( I don't know why not.

It is now after midnight and one of the babies was supposed to age up yesterday evening. The babysitters at least do this. But not this time.

Edit: I found the babysitter. When my first sim returned home, I got the message "Looks like I'm done here. That'll be $75." I clicked on her picture to locate her. She's at the wedding.
