  • In my game, they stop "eventually" - from 5~6 sim hours to "i have no idea how many" depending on the size of houses.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a maid use a hoover=vacuum
    What happens when the bug occurs? Sim will vacuum to perfection. Leave for work. Maid comes in. Hoovers for six hours an already sparkling clean house, leave. Child returns from school does homework, naps plays, etc parent returns home. Cooks dinner. Dust piles appear, then bunnies turn up by midnight.
    What do you expect to see? The maid to only vacuum if needed. Not to vacuum for six hours on top of the three hours cleaning the home. For dust not to build up so quickly.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.

    Dust build up and NPC vacuuming for hours 

  • same on XB1, the maid just wouldnt stop vacuuming though the floor was already sparkling=clean.

  • I have the exact opposite: 

    Maid doesn't do anything, only takes out trash. Plates on the table, dust bunnies everywhere. Maid left and charged 70 simoleons. Only was in there for 30 sim minutes. 

    Do I make a different bug report? Or do we conclude that the maid service is once again completely broken?
