    I can confirm that is fixed for new saves. I finished two of the starter scenarios with a completely new save and none of these sims (Nova and Farrah) got any call from Eleanor. I started a normal single Sim without scenario to test this and this Sim get too no call from Eleanor. I don’t have any old save before the patch which she still is there, or which is not modded, so I can’t test this.

Platform: Steam/PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? 100% - every single Sim day
What is your current game version number?  1.101.290.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?  All of them except Vampires, Werewolves and Journey to Batuu.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a household with children in it.
What happens when the bug occurs?  My sims get a message from Eleanor Sullivan offering to look after my infant although I don't have any in my household.  I cancelled the pop-up on the first day but when it came again the next (sim) day I said yes just to see what happened and Eleanor began a Stay Over.   
What do you expect to see?  No phonecalls from Eleanor Sullivan - tbh honest it's kind of creepy having a complete stranger call to look after infants whether there is one in the household or not!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?  Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?  It happened after the most recent patch update - 26 September 2023.
