Bonehilda is driving me nuts

That reminds me of TS2 Servos.
They would not leave the children alone.


My solution was to power them down during the day and let them work at night while everyone else was asleep. Can you put her coffin, or whatever that thing is, in the household inventory?

That's what I would do. I would let her work at night.

she takes the babies out of the cribs..
She'll clean everything, (and apparently fill my fridge with crap).. but then she goes and wakes up the babies and holds them until she's dismissed. and if I'm lucky, she'll put them down and go back to her coffin.. most of the time she still stands there holding a crying baby. :-/

Lock the doors and only allow one of the parents to use it, or put in two doors and assign each one to a parent.

I wonder how much EA rigorously tests things before putting them into play....

I love that my dogs know all the trick now but yeah you definitely have to keep an eye on her or it becomes this horrible torture session! LOL I dismiss her frequently and just pop her out when the house needs cleaning.

Yeah, it's also annoying that she won't do laundry, and if you try to hire a maid alongside her to do the laundry and help her out, as soon as the maid sees her they freak out and quit! XD

You can set the child's door to "Household only" She can't get through because she's an object, not a family member. She'll do plenty of complaining about it though!

Bonehilda didn't interrupt any of my toddler teaching activities. I found her to be quite useful. But I also have a big house and there's lots for her to do to amuse herself. She tends to eat all the candy, chips or nuts that I place on the edge of the bar--and of course, she drinks a lot. She warms herself at the fireplace all the time too--her bones must be awful chilly!

Honestly, she was a bit more annoying in my first house, but in the big mansion I built, she's a dream!

So lets see:
Can't use Bonehilda, she annoys in the above way.
Can't use the Butler - s/he is *obsessed* with bee's.
Can't use the maid, s/he freaks out about Bonehilda...

sigh

Mine plays hopscotch a lot lol

Well, you can still get a maid if you dismiss Bonehilda every time it's time for the maid to come over, but it's still a bit of a pain to juggle them.

Of course, the maid is just as obsessed with the bees... I used an idea I saw elsewhere on the forums though, and put the bees inside my fence with my garden plants, with the gates locked to "household only." So as before, the zombies and deer can't get at my plants to destroy them, and now any helpers I hire can't get in at the beehives to constantly get stung.

Now if only you could hire a butler without them being obsessed with making food and using up all the produce in the fridge, every time one of the Sims in the family gets the tiniest bit hungry and hasn't made it to the fridge yet...

I HAVE noticed Bonehilda has an obsession with babies, like as it has been mentioned several times, her holding a tired baby... As far as just standing there with a baby as/til it goes red? New one on me lol. My sims had tripplets and for/ to me it is too hard without three or so adult sims to care for tripplets, but bonehilda, so my sims could get a decent sleep at night without interuption took care of ALL three babies for me. I have no honest complaints about her. Sorry to hear some of you others are having issues but I find her really helpful!
And not too much trouble to just dismiss her when she's too much either =)
But never occurs, dissmissed two of the three I origionally had when my sims had the tripplets but I am not sure but with six sims and three Bonehildas I think was causing problems with my game... So cut down to one, but wanted to keep all three =D
