ERROR with "Cancel Maid Service"

I can't cancel the maid service.  I have selected the option "Cancel Maid Service" several times.  Each time, my Sim will make a call and speak gibberish as if she's canceling the service; however, the service doesn't get canceled and the maid has NEVER once come.

How can I fix this features of the game?

EDIT: moving the Sim out and back in fixed it.

  • Hi @williamblum 

    are you using any mods/cc in your game ? 

    If not, could you try moving the Sims out and back in via household manager. Maybe that helps.

  • No mods.

    Moving my Sim out, and moving her back in worked.  Thanks so much!!

    I am having the same issue. I tried moving them out and then back in and that didn't help. I have tried to cancel the Gardener but I can't. 


    I don't have any CC or Mods in my game.

    @Jacqpinks  Also, look in the sims queue when you give them the order to cancel the gardener service, and see if your sim have any other action after that, in queue; that either you ordered them to do, or they chose to autonomously.

    I am not using any mods/cc in my game and the solution of moving the Sim out and back via the household manager didn't work for me. 

    I noticed my Sim always wanted to do something else (like juggling, making a snowpal, etc.) exactly after talking on the phone when cancelling the maid service so it can't be completed, so I thought it had something to do with my Sim's autonomy. 

    The solution that worked for me was to go to Game menu -> Game Options -> Gameplay -> Autonomy OFF -> Apply Changes and then attempted the "Cancel Maid Service" option again and it finally worked and got cancelled.

    Try this out! Maybe it will work for others, too.
