Title: Better Maid & Babysitter
Post by: userunknown on 2009 June 30, 15:10:06
Are you tired of your maid not doing his/her job? No more clowning around.Work I tell you,work!
Not compatible with my changes mod.


Babysitter
No more teen babysitters - (Adults only) Only ran a small test & had no problems with the feeding,changing diapers or paying attention to.Note if you have 8-10 kids don't expect 1 babysitter to do the job....
Compatible with my other mods.

Increased the pool size (workers) to 4 each.

Elder Babysitter....in testing  Works
Problem Noted: Once you use this in your game & decide to remove ,you may have to start a new game if you want the default teens back as there aren't any service elder npc's starting out by default.Only use one or the other sitter packages.

If it's not too much trouble could you possibly make an alternate version of your babysitter mod to send elders instead of adults? I kind of miss those old nannies from TS2.  ;) Not sure if it's possible to easily rename the "babysitter" to "nanny" but that would be good too. Thanks!  ;D

I'm about to test these, but I had a small question:
You said you have: "Increased the pool size (workers) to 4 each." Could you explain what that means? Does it mean that there will be maids/babysitters in rotation? Or does it mean that up to four maids/babysitters can now show up at a time? Or something else?

Just thought I'd try to add more variety than the usual 2. Haven't tested long enough to see if there are actually 4 different or not.

If someone knows the appropriate <AppropriateAgeFlags> setting for Elders that would be cool. I took a guess & set it to 64,seems to work but just making sure.

AppropriateAgeFlags
Child    4
Teen   8
YA      32
Adult   48
Elder   ??

M'kay... well I installed this mod and so far after playing several different houses for around 4 hours (real time)... my maids are not behaving or performing any better... what I hate about the way that EAxis has set up this round of service people is that in my game my sims all stand around talking to the maids ALL day long... instead of doing things w/each other... or doing fun things on their own... and this happens whether it's a large family w/lots of kids... or a small one... don't know if it's because I've made most of my sims have the "Friendly" trait or what... but so far I'm seeing very little change with using this mod...   ???

I don't think they'd still pee on the floor, though.

Okay well I got his updated version at MTS2 of the Elder babysitter with some already precreated Elders. http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=353824

Then I used the debug control click cheat to edit one of them in CAS and changed her outfit. The new one I gave her may look familiar to some of you. :P

I'm still working on a way to make her pee. If anyone makes a sim spontaneous urinates themselves for no particular reason mod let me know. ;)

Hi Motoki, did you have to start a new game in order to have the Elder babysitter, or is there a way to kill the teen babysitter? Someone mentioned that those Teen babysitters are not NPC's  ???

Add the "Incontinent" trait.

He added a second version where he made it so there were 4 sitters instead of two so I guess it just generates the other two as elders. I used that one and she just showed up on my lot and I didn't started a new game. The file called ElderSitter4.zip it's the second of the two he has there, though you can't use it with the recurring babysitter mod as it will conflict, but I just deal and just call another one back when I need them.

Add the "Incontinent" trait.

Oh that you were serious. If there were such a trait I would surely use it. ;)

I think there should be an anti-perk that is the opposite of the steel bladder perk. How about rice paper bladder?

Sadly this mod no longer works with the updated Sims 3.

Would some kind soul please update it? Thanks.
