It doesn't happen for me consistently but did happen once.

The next day, I had an option to hire a nanny, which I did, but they never showed up so my toddler was alone on lot working on skills, etc.  This happened two days in a row.  The next day two nannies showed up on lot first thing in the morning, when they weren't needed.  I dismissed them both and was charged something like 144 Simoleons.  Hmf! 

My Sim parents alternated taking vacation days until the toddler aged up after that.

I just had this happen with a baby when I was playing last night. I was expecting a pop up for a nanny (that’s what usually happens) and never got one and the baby wasn't sent to daycare automatically. Luckily the mom’s work day ended and she came home right after I got the pop up warning about the baby going to be taken away (I would have quit without saving if that happened since I had saved not long before).

My sim is in the writer carrier, it’s just her and the baby & the baby had just been adopted the evening before. There was a gardener working on the lot, the gardener arrived just as the mom was leaving for work. Not sure if that was a factor. I do have some MCCC modules in my game.

Best regards,

I've noticed this happen across a few different saves in the past few days. Originally, there was someone dropping off mail so I thought it was just odd timing and didn't think much of it at the time. But now it's occurring again. There are several sims loaded into the "lot" walking up and down the main street, and I'm unsure if the game thinks they're like... in the "house" and able to care for the baby.

Heya, how are you?

Check for any mods left which could be faulty, try updating you game maybe? Check your settings for anything. What jobs do the mother and father sims have? As it could be a glitch thinking they are working from home.

Running a vanilla save with no mods and game is up to date.
Mother works in culinary and father works in tech, neither have an option to work from home.

Editted to add: I've used mods in the past, however they were removed previous to the start of the save file and haven't been in since.

@thefailedbeta I've merged your post with the existing thread on this.

Does it matter what career your Sims are in ?

[thefailedbeta]

@Crin I've noticed it with the culinary, tech, painter, and writer careers so far. I've only played with the two households.

I've been playing on short life span and trying to do two separate legacy saves, so if it happens with any of the other careers I plan to run through, I'll come back with an update.

@ctamarti Has there been any updates about this? My baby nor toddler are not being sent to daycare.
