Is there a way to get the active sims to physically drop their kids off at daycare? I finally got Go Here to work in my game, and it's doing okay at keeping my daycare active, but I'm getting tired of the toddlers and babies being teleported there and it screwing up the cribs/high chairs at home. Every time this occurs the crib still thinks someone is in there and I have to reset. It also occurred when they took off for work and left the toddler in the high chair. When I got my focus back home later the sims had cleared a 12 portion plate of food trying to serve the invisible toddler in the high chair and there were a dozen bowls of pureed lobster thermidor all over the kitchen and dining room! LOL

I did a temporary solve of this by being sure the baby or toddler was on the floor before sims left, but I really don't want to micro manage them that often when there are a total of 7 sims in the this particular house to manage, not including the new toddler and baby.

Anyway, when I tried to drop the baby and toddler off at the local daycare I got the warning to stay here or call a sitter. Which I did and one showed up at the daycare. LOL.

Just so everyone knows, my question here is not the same as my question in the "Go Here" page. I have a daycare question in Go Here but felt that they are unrelated and I figured this may relate to something other than just the Go Here mod, so I placed it here. I know I ask a lot of questions, but I have been off work now twice in just 6 months! each time it's been several weeks in recovery from surgeries and have been very bored so I am playing a lot of Sims and trying out all kinds of new things. This means lots of questions. Please I hope no one gets discouraged or feels I am monopolizing the board. Even if you don't feel that, I certainly do, I kind of annoy myself so don't feel badly if you're annoyed by me. LOL

Also I'm fully aware that any unanswered questions are waiting for those who know the subject matter better, so no worries on speedy answers. I know Daycare and kids isn't most people's favorite or most well known subject. At least among the board moderators. I often just keep trying things to see what works.

Just FYI, I am hoping this was my final surgery for a long time and I'm fairly certain that it will be, then back to work on the regular. Unless I jinxed myself. But I don't think so this time. It's truly a relief! I need a break from Sims for a while too, I will welcome getting back to work believe it or not! Que the "Stir Crazy" moodlet! Just one more week before I get the clearance from my DR.

I don't have a daycare in my town currently, but I'll probably play around with it later and see how it works. I had no idea that active sims could use the daycare. I don't mind your questions because many times they help clarify things for me. If I do mess with the daycare later I'll post here.

John, I think folks like you who ask questions are being really helpful. There are lots of people who will search for answers to questions / problems, but won't ever actually ask questions / for help. So by asking questions you are (Google willing) helping those folks to solve their problems too.

I know I ask a lot of questions,

You ask questions I have as well, I have learned a lot from your threads. It is because of people like you that I have so far found every answer I needed by just reading here and not having to ask anything myself. So please keep asking, because you do it much better than I can, I'm not a native English speaker.

BTW, I can understand the "stir crazy" effect, I have fibromyalgia so am often homebound myself, I hope you will recover soon and get back to an active life.

As far as I know there is no way to do this atm.
Sadly it would probably result in a routing nightmare, as working Sims with little kids would need to leave for Daycare early, drop their kids off and then go to work.. But I would really like to try it. You can reset the objects with DebugEnabler -> Reset and then they work again, that is faster than making sure the kids are on the floor when the car pool arrives.
There also is an option somewhere to allow toddlers alone on lots. With that you could bring them to the Daycare and leave them there. But since Sims 3 is imcapable of having a Sim transport more than one toddler at a time I am not a fan of bringing..

There's no way to do this but I've made a note to look into fixing the issue of the objects remaining in use.

Thanks everyone. I'm doing much better and finally off the stupid pain meds. YUK! I don't know how anyone likes those things! But they are nice if you're hurting, I'm just glad to finally be able to be without them!
Cassie - I know Fibromyalgia can be really rough, my niece has it and she seems to allergic to many pain meds, but they finally found stuff that works thank goodness. And thanks for your kind words.

Igazor, thanks, I think that I like babysitters a bit better too, unless I'm actively running the daycare. Which I find fun most days. Though I do remember a time when I had like 5 toddlers at once and not only did my level 5 supernanny sim freak out, so did I! LOL. I had to cheat just to shut the screaming brats up because, of course, the parents all brought them in the worst moods and half starving!

It's a shame we can't play Butlers, maids, sitters or handymen/women or even repo sims, It would be kind of cool to visit various sims and interact in their homes. Sort of like you do with the fashion and home design careers, but you wouldn't have to spend hours in CAS and can actually play. They could plan things like cleanup after a big party or actually have the house flood and the handy sim has to fix it up and clean up, things like that.
