Please Allow Our Sims to Hire Friends and Family to Babysit or be Nannies.

I personally do not like random strangers watching my Sim's children. I don't like dropping children off at day care if the parent Sims want to go out. Shouldn't parent Sims be able to hire family or friends? If Sim Parents have a teenager. That should count as someone home who is able to watch the younger children.

I also would like it if they brought full time nannies for role playing purposes. I'm looking forward to being able to hire butlers. I'm guessing we probably can't hire someone we know to by our butlers.

For Example: I made the alternate reality Wayne family and I made a Sim after Alfred Pennyworth. So far, I just have him look and act the part. But, I would like to be able hire him as an official Butler.

    I think it's possible to edit the butler in CAS and make him look like whatever.
  • YES! I wish we could hire friends as well. And also want a live in nanny. Seems like someone might be able to mod the butler as nanny.. But I don't know.

    I was going to say the same thing. I only just switched from Sims 3 to Sims 4 so I can't be certain. But couldn't one go into CAS and just replace him with a Sim from their library?

  • So far, Alfred is role-playing the part. He looks the part and acts the part. He has a girlfriend and I have one of my older Sims role-playing his adult son, who is now living in one of the rooms in the Wayne Manor. I eventually want him to marry his girlfriend and have her role-play as the Nanny. That way Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle have someone to watch the kids, when they want to take off.

    Eventually, I'm going to have the son move in with his brother, who doesn't know he's a brother yet (After I edit him in CAS). But, I looked at him today and thought, they look like they could be brothers.

    Oh! By the way, Bruce Wayne's parents never died. This is alternate reality Bruce Wayne. His parents just retired and moved to a two bedroom castle. I didn't know where else to put them and I had this castle I wanted someone to live.

    I just would like our Sims to hire our own Sims that we created for jobs like baby sitting, butlers, gardening, staff. You put time into them and I just want my Sims connected to each other somehow. I would like to see Alfred's son connected to him on his family tree. So, that is why I wished that I could change relationship status after I have already created them. I'm going to explore CAS and see what I can do for now.
  • Agreed that having to have random strangers act as paid caregivers without any more reasonable options is unnatural.
