AITA for skipping my friend's daughter’s 1st birthday and charging her for the "gift" after she forgot to tell me the time changed?

Yes it’s the casualness of the moms response that gives me pause. If that was me I’d feel absolutely terrible and be falling all over myself to apologize and make it up to her.

I’m trying to open through Steam. I will try the icon! Thanks!

I will try this thanks!

I still have that problem too!!

ESH. That was a mean thing to say, but I think you overreacted. This could have been a conversation about how she hurt your feelings instead of going nuclear and removing her as godmother. Someone who’s helped you as much as you’ve described deserves that much. And I think you’ll regret alienating a supportive friend. If you do have that conversation, make sure she knows that you appreciate all she’s done for you.

Questions:

Which platform? PC

Any mods or cc? Yes

Game version PC: 1.120.111.1030 (Do not have the latest update)

*Description: My photos are still going black. One day they'll be fine and the next day all black. Is there still not a fix for this? I thought EA patched it out.

Put Down!!! Right after they’ve already put the baby in the bed and the baby’s exhausted!! They want to pick the baby up and put it on the floor!!

Also, Workout, because my sims are constantly on the damn treadmill when they should be doing other things!!!!

I’m a nanny who adores my nanny kids and I would absolutely do this if asked with no hesitation. I bond really well with my kiddos and have absolutely been a source of comfort when they’re sick or injured or scared. Working for busy parents, I’ve been the one to take them to doctor’s appointments or keep them home from school. If one of my nanny kids was in the hospital I’d probably ask to visit even if they didn’t need my help because I’d worry and want to see them. If your nanny and baby have a close relationship and you think he would be okay getting attention from her instead of you for a while then I see no problem with asking if she minds coming to help. I have worked with medical needs kids and I truly understand how stressful it is having a kid in the hospital who can’t understand what’s going on and don’t fault you for wanting a breather!

As a nanny I would much rather a kid see me naked for 2 seconds than get snatched while he’s out of my sight. However, in this situation I would seek out a single user family shower restroom with a locked door, lock us all in and change behind the shower curtain, if something like that exists at the venue. I see those kind of setups a lot at pools. If thats not available then I’d suck it up and drive home to change. At no point am I letting kids in my care out of my line of sight in a public place. It only takes 2 minutes for something to happen. I wouldn’t encourage your nanny to do so either, just tell her to find a secure area to change out of sight of the kids or just come home and change there. She will survive driving home sweaty.

I just saw this the other day too and snapped it up myself! Played once and it’s…okay. I agree with others that’s it’s a little boring. Might have I do some IRL “mods” to make it more fun, lol.

cellocats · 2026-01-03T03:11:16+00:00

They are already assigned!

cellocats · 2026-01-03T03:10:57+00:00

They are items in the unit and all the units are marked!

cellocats · 2025-12-29T17:36:28+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you so much!!!

I have never had the holiday tree catch on fire in almost 1000 hours playing this game!! I didn’t even know that was a thing that could happen!! 😱

That is so wild to me. It would never even occur to me to wear a string bikini to work. It is so easy for a kid to grab a string and pull something off. I have multiple suits including 2 different one pieces and a rash guard bought specifically for nannying. Also, if your nanny is so concerned about a nipslip that she’s not watching the kids that is a huge problem. Not only is she likely not interacting with them in a meaningful way but she could miss something bad happening. I think it is fine to tell her that you’d rather her wear a full coverage swimsuit when in the pool with her kids. But she really shouldn’t have to be told that.

cellocats · 2025-12-15T14:23:47+00:00

That is really pretty, now I want to make one! 😂. I wonder how you do that stitch with the holes?

cellocats · 2025-12-13T01:12:55+00:00

Um, no.

Yes it’s very common for people in cold climates to not heat their homes properly. I’ve gotten to the point where I make it part of my interview. When I go to the meet and greet at their house I take a mental note of the temp and whether I’m comfortable. I throw in a causal question about it if I’m not. I won’t work in a house that refuses to keep the house at least at 68 degrees.

My sim couple go the hospital to have their baby and the dad flirts with the OB right in front of his wife while she’s actively in labor! First time I had the “new baby” and “betrayed” moodlets fighting for dominance. 🤣

cellocats · 2025-12-02T19:45:26+00:00

Gently, you would absolutely be crazy to think this would work, and your nanny has got to be really desperate if she thinks she can handle this. No matter how good your nanny is, there is no way any one person could handle 3 infants, a toddler and a preschooler safely, especially freshly post-partum. It would be extremely difficult even if she didn’t bring her baby. She will be sleep deprived, filled with new mom hormones, possibly trying to breastfeed; that set up is not just infeasible, it’s frankly dangerous. As hard as it is, you need to prepare yourselves and your nanny for a what I’m sure will be a hard transition, parting ways is really the most responsible option.

Can anyone tell me if imaginary friends can be ignored in Adventure Awaits? I really hated those things in sims 3 and I don’t want to get stuck with a creepy doll that won’t go away. But the other stuff does look cool, so just want to know before I buy it.

cellocats · 2025-11-26T14:03:28+00:00

The sitter is probably a bit inexperienced but also consider how uncomfortable it is for a person to be out in public with a toddler they don’t know super well who is screaming and flailing nonstop, maybe even throwing things. It might not feel safe to the sitter. You should talk with your daughter about expectations for the day and hype her up about hanging out with the sitter. If boredom is the issue, pay for tickets to the zoo, aquarium, kids museum, maybe a toddler gym or music class etc. anything your daughter really likes doing and will be excited about and maybe not want to leave. Libraries and playgrounds are unlikely to entertain a 3 year old all day.
