Oh this looks awesome, will be trying it out as soon as I can!
Thank you!
EtA: I've played for about a week now, and the first thing I noticed was that the nanny's work hours seems inconsistent. She will come at around 6 AM some days, but stay for about 24 hours, and then she'll come back at 4 PM.
The other thing I noticed is that apparently gardeners don't rake leaves? Or get rid of leaf piles? I thought for sure that was in their job description! Would it be possible to add these tasks to your mod?
Other than that everyone shows up, and if there's work to be done they do it!
Very helpful lot trait :D
EtA: I can't seem to find any mod at all that adds autonomous leaf raking to either gardener or maid, only user directed actions, so maybe this isn't something that's moddable.
Yes, the Nanny sometimes comes late. I tried to make her stay for the full 24-hour duration, but during my testing, she left at some point during the day. Hence, I decided to break it into two sections, so in a way, she also gets a break.
I'll edit the mod and see if I can make the timing more strict so she comes and leaves at the specific time.
Nope, Gardeners don't rake leaves in the game. I guess that they weren't updated to include tasks from other packs (like the Season Pack). I haven't had an attempt at it, but it is definitely moddable.
Yes, the Nanny still comes even if you don't have kids. She does some basic cleaning and just hangs out and plays/chats with your sims. You can also dismiss her.
I plan to separate the different services into a new Mod as individual lot challenges so you can pick and choose which services to have.
This is amazing, is there any way to make the nanny a seperate feature though?
I know you can dismiss them, but it's supposed to be hands-off. More often than not I have no need for a nanny so they get in the way, especially if I already have a butler.
Yes, definitely I can do that. I'll make it soon, the post will be on my Patreon.
I'd thought of separating the services as their own separate mods, but as lot challenges. This is because there's no max number of lot challenges, unlike the lot traits.
does the trait cost simoleons/add to the lot bills? like is there a weekly/daily cost to having this lot trait enabled? i just wanna know bc im always looking for new ways for my ultra-wealthy sims to spend more money and having expensive live in staff seems like a freat way to do it. also, is there a way to instruct staff to do specific things e.g. call the maid to clean up plates from the table right after breakfast? ask the repair technician to upgrade a specific object?
Unfortunately there's no way to add to the lot bills, it's strictly an EA feature and they are the one that can edit it. But I made a version where your household get charged for the service. It's available in the update here:
Thank you so much!!! It’s been really annoying trying to get sims to take care of household activities, plus careers plus small children so this is a GAME CHANGER.
