What do you all think of ranch hands? Here is a list of things I think are either broken with them or by design but it's bad design, in my opinion: 1. Every day you have to reset the tasks. It seem...

#1 is just a dumb programming error. Clearing out the 'Gardening' and 'Repairing' should remain set until changed.
We can hire Gardeners and Repairers, why is this even part of Ranch Hand? Programmatically, this should just be a flag set when you click the control, and the NPC 'reads' that in the morning. Either the flag isn't preserved, or it isn't being read when the server tries to spawn them @7am.
#2 My hands either want to make destressing concoctions or bake white cakes. I have stuffed my grill and refrigerator in my inventory to try to prevent this. The idea that Foodies Unite makes NPC uncontrollably bake cakes in my house is Silly.
3# is annoying, but I don't care much about the extra few hours at 12 per.
#4 has happened a few times
#5 When Ranch hands garden, they take your harvest. I did NOT fertilize Perfect Apples for this idiot to steal them. Mitigation: Have them move the picked stuff to an inventory i.e. refrigerator, flower bench etc. My garden produces almost 10K simoleons per day, I don't want it stolen.
Can we keep the Ranch hands in the field or barn, following the instructions given? I am 'paying' for this schmuck to wander around on my property taking pictures of flowers rather than clean my sheep or horsebeds. If the chores they were hired for were performed, it wouldn't be so bad, but the dumb stuff they are doing is covered by others.
I can't even lock them out individually, you can only do that for household members. II can Unlock for Rach Hand, but Not Set the Lock.
