Ranch Hands now stay hired until you dismiss them.
Fixed in Patch 1.101.290/1.81
Please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,
I have the same problem. Every time I hire the ranch hand he arrives, does maybe 1 or 2 things on the ranch, then walks up to the community board that I placed on my plot and then he leaves. Even if there are still a ton of things to do he just walks away. Also, there is no money taken from me when he leaves.
After like 2 days I have to rehire him, but then the same thing happens over and over again. This is pretty frustrating because it's almost impossible to have a ranch with multiple animals without having 2 sims taking care of things the whole day.
@Arterion135Update: I removed the community board and now it seems to work just right! I got suspicious by him always looking at the board before he left, so I sold it. Now he stays the whole day and leaves even with pay. 🙂
I hope this gets fixed soon. Having the community board is pretty convenient.
Another update: I still have to rehire the ranch hand after a few days ☹️
