More Awesome Than You!

Is there a way to have maids, or cleaning NPC's or something to be on every community lot like there was in sims 1?

On unowned lots, there's no need, since the lot resets to its base state when your sim leaves.  On owned lots, you can just hire an employee and have him/her 'tidy up' (or 'be janitor' with BRY).

b/c i like having a cleaning person there... i know they reset, but when the sims are there for awhile the garbage seems to pile up.. and it makes it gross looking

If you have nightlife, you can build a restaurant.  The waiters clean everything.

can you make it so they clean around the whole lot too? What is the object that we place in the resterunt that makes waiters.. is it the podium thing, or the dishwasher or w/e?

I think you need a fully functional restaurant for the waiters to spawn.  That means at least one table with a chair, the podium and the restaurant stove.

In my experience the waiters clean everything.  I have a community lot I use for dates, with a bed and showers and other stuff, and the waiters come running to make the bed as soon as my sims finish woohooing or mop up after sloppy sims before they've even finished showering.

ohh ok, that's cool then.. maybe i'll try that then.. put a little restarunt on each community lot

I believe Squinge has a hack that allows sims to hire a maid and/or gardener at an owned community lot. I think his mods are still at insimenator.net.

ya but i dont have ofb so my sims cant own a community lot.. i only have seasons & nl installed.. i have uni, but something is wrong w/ my disk.. i couldnt reinstall it after i reinstalled my computer :( probably will just have to get a new copy some day

I'd love to have a community lot maid, too, or even better, a janitor. I'ts annoying to have to build a restaurant on each community lot where I want my sims to eat.
A restaurant somewhat defeats the purpose of a BBQ, plus it takes up a lot of space (I usually have 2x2 comm lots) and spawns unwanted NPCs, not to speak of looking somewhat misplaced in open air facilities like swimming pools or parks.

An object to spawn a maid/janitor that will stay there during the whole visit (like the TS1 janitors) really would be great.

ya it would be nice if we could just have a maid or janitor on every community lot.. like maybe if the or a type of dishwasher or something would spawn one... I'd rather have that too than have to make a restarunt on every single comm lot.
