Nanny problems

One Nanny I had made me lose my sim's child to social services and then came back for days afterward trying to pick up my sim's husband. I had a really good Nanny who worked hard but now the oldest child has aged up to a teen she calls to spend time with him, invites him to her house and out to parties etc and is generally flirty when he is around even though adults aren't supposed to interact with teens this way. so no more Nanny for that family

I have never had good experiences with nannies - I only really use them if I have toddlers because then I can be the toddler and ask for food and drink and play/stories etc.. but I do this because I don't have great experiences with the nanny situation

I've only used nannies a couple of times and they seem to do everything but look after any children.

Yeah Nannies are a waste of time and Simolians - I've never had a good one. Plus you are supposed to be able to tell a Butler to do things for the children but mine have only pulled a face and refused to do them. So it looks like we're on our own folks :p

So butlers are useless to?

Yeah, they are just random townie NPC's and don't seem to have any specific programming related to the job they are supposed to be doing.. They maybe some very basic tweaks to a.i. but nothing as specific as in past games.

I’ve only had a handful of nannies actually do what they’re supposed to. I just send to daycare mostly, I cheat my toddler’s needs to full first though because they never actually go to green while they’re there

I'm having lousy nanny issues too. I was using them just fine for a while, but just now I went through 2 back to back. I have triplets and they're all on the same schedule and when they kicked off again I didn't feel like dealing with it and called one. One I've gotten often came, walked past the 3 screaming babies and tried to strike up a convo with my mom Sim. I locked the gym room door and she headed straight to the kitchen, again past 3 screaming babies, made food and left it on a filthy counter, sat down and started a movie! I yelled at her and fired her. She proclaimed everything to be in order before leaving! ?
Nanny #2 arrived, another one I've had before. He sauntered past the 3 screaming babies and tried to converse with Mom. I cancelled it and he immediately tried to converse with Dad. Fed up, I shouted forbidden words at him and fired him. ??
That one was our nanny so long that the option to ask him to move in came up! He called to visit when he wasn't on duty and invited both of the parents to several events. Maybe once they get friendly with the family they start acting like it and forget they're hired help.

I want an option for nannies and butlers and such, so my Sim can remind them and tell them to do their job. If they don't, second one is to tell them to do their job or get out. I've had nannies that started cooking and inexplicably wandered off and left it half done til they left. This is unacceptable. ??

Stuff like this is why I almost never use nannies. Won’t use butlers either.

I drowned a Butler once coz she was lazy and when I fired her and hired another - back she came. Over and over, boy did I enjoy watching her drown. >:)
