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. ??
