ServiceNPC will continue to appear after canceling service

I have fired her several times as the kids are all older now. But every day she shows back up. I have had the dad who originally hired her fire her, the mom, and even the teen daughter. Next thing you know there the nanny is being a pain in the butt by making to much food and interrupting the teens/kids skill time.

    Hi venomrose13​ 

    there's a thread for Ranch Hands not leaving here: [HR] Ranch Hand Stays Past 7 pm | EA Forums - 12055579 and there's also one for multiple ranch hands if you also see this: [NEEDS SAVES] [HR] Multiple ranch hands | EA Forums - 11645232 

    We also have threads for nannies and gardener coming back after firing, need to check with CM if they want a separate one for ranch hands.

    As for the destroying kids stuff ? What exactly are they destroying ? The doll house ? Are they in an angry mood ? Do you know what traits your ranch hand has ?

    I was linking that as you mentioned that they also don't leave. If you meant that differently, then I misunderstood your post. I was just addressing all the different things you mentioned in your post.

    The firing is the same issue as the nanny and gardener that I didn't link as you seem to have already found those. At this point I don't know if Maxis wants yet another thread on the same issue or not so I'm waiting back to hear from a CM on that.

    Usually the dollhouse destroying is triggered by angry moods or the hates children trait. Strange that something else would cause it. Do you see any pattern ? 

  • I hired a babysitter for my 3 infants. At first, I had two when I got back from managing worlds. I tried firing, they don't leave. I relog into the entire game, they're still there. I even moved houses, modified in cas, and I'm about to try just deleting the sim. They. Won't. Leave.

    I got this bug too, where nannies keep showing up on my lot despite cancelling/sack them they keep showing up staying for a long period or just occasionally stay for the time the parent is away. It is a suprise for how long the nanny stays. Eventually after like 3 or so times to sack them they stop showing up and then I get a new baby for a new gen and all of a sudden it occurs again as soon as I hire a nanny. It has been going one for months, so far my sim money is not the issue to sack them, but it is annoying after a while.

    I hired a nanny and since then she constantly comes back even if I fire her or kill her. I even add them to my household and when I remove them from the household in cus mode and the game closes.

    sorry for my bad anglish :D

    hi, this is my first time posting here so i hope im doing it right. im just at my wits end! i have had a LOT of issues with bugs but its been more or less managable, even if with cheats. basically, i kept getting threatened to get my sheep taken away from me (as one does), so i hired a ranch hand as recommended. everything was going well, but the sheep died, so i no longer needed the ranch hand. i did not see any option to cancel the ranch hand service (see picture 1), so i thought i simply had to fire her. i did, but all that happened was that i got a notification 10 times about getting charged for the rest of her time or something (see picture 2). this did cause me to get charged 10x the amount, but whatever - problem solved, i thought. nope! she did not leave, and didn't seem to be "fired". when i tried multiple times to fire her again, nothing happened. so i logically decided to end her life to see if that would fix it, but no. the next day, EIGHT new ranch hands showed up (see picture 3.... because its kind of funny). im afraid more are going to come! i cannot find any information about this online that helps, so i bit the bullet and am commenting here. appreciative of any help <3
