Please use this thread going forward: [HR] Ranch Hand Stays Past 7 pm | EA Forums - 12055579
Vanilla game. One Sim, a cat, a dog, 4 horses, 2 goats and a sheep.
LOVE having a Ranch Hand, but they are a bit glitchy. Sometimes they end up staying way past 7pm. Sometimes if they stay late, they have to be rehired once they do leave. Other times they stay late and still show up for their next shift. Sometimes, if my Sim travels before 7am and returns home after 7pm, the Ranch Hand is still there. Other times he's gone. When he's there he's brilliant. Just wish he were more consistent.
Adding an aside: This not a fix for having to constantly rehire the Ranch Hand.
If you have a Ranch Hand (or Maid, Nanny, Butler, Gardener) that is not up to the job, make note of their name, (fire them first - if you want the satisfaction) go to Household Management and delete them. The game will generate a new one next you call to Hire a Service. You can keep doing this until you get one that does their job.
