I usually have my sims clean themselves cuz the maids are so bad but then I dl a HUGE mansion that sits on a 50x50 lot (really amazing btw). So with so many rooms, bathrooms, things breaking and sims leaving stuff all over the place...the place was never clean. And having my sims scrubbing their own toilets really didn't go with the storyline b/c they were suppose to be very wealthy snobby well-to-do.
Then I got the idea from somewhere on this forum for a live-in maid. SO dl a "maid" from the exchange and added her to the household, used the maid cheat and now I have a full time maid cleans automatically, repairs, gardens, ...oh I LOVE her. I wish now EA would add/fix the service sims b/c I've had the repairs sims leave before they fixed everything and had to call them back for another charge.
