Daycare Profession Challenge and Play-Through

[MrsFlynn]

Last day of the work week, Friday. Day went well, was able to keep everyone entertained, fed and clean. Got a Great report!! leveled up to Lv.4 - Good Guardian, which may mean a mix of toddlers and kids.

As I wrote in my personal thread, I have decided to attack this challenge with premade Sim Doris Lucas of Lunar Lakes, who is a mother of a girl child and a teenaged son. Staying with them is her son's girlfriend. Both teenagers have part-time jobs and her daughter is attending the Scouts afterschool activity. I'm in fact exploring the entire Generations expansion pack this time around, which is why I also post updates on this family in Nindigo's Table.

Doris started out on a monday and has just finished her second monday. Thus, we are on the second in-game week. So far, she has worked for five days total and only gotten great scores, and so she is close to reaching level 3 of this profession. I haven't run into any issues with the profession yet. I play with static needs, so that Doris can focus 100% on the daycare kids. After bumping the current three toddlers' overall status to a pink 'doing great' after their arrival in the morning, it seems to only be a matter of maintaining them for the duration of the day. One toddler needed extended care once by an hour or so. No trouble at all. The one toddler the game had to generate has multiple caretakers and so far only teens. Very sus.

There are some teensy routing challenges using her prebuilt house, but I will not be addressing them as of yet.

Tip:

Have an expensive TV with high entertainment value and keep it turned on or turn it on just before the daycare kids arrive. They will be compelled to watch TV as the first thing and get their overall mood to 'great' in no time, while you start taking care of everyone's immediate needs.

Around 1-2pm, Doris is on top of things.

Great tip! Maybe Doris needs to watch. She looks a little stressed.

Daycare Debbie had a great weekend. Day 1

She started off at the bookstore with a good gossip session with her friend Myrna.


Lots of people enjoying the bookstore on a rainy afternoon.


Off to the bakery across the street where she purchased a treat and sat down to eat it.
Bakery was pretty busy too even though there was no one manning the till. (have to fix that).
Josiah Smith decided to unpack his drum kit for a little impromptu session. Weird!


Then to the spa for a little hydrotherapy session. The other room looks pretty but it doesn't work. (I'll have to figure that out).

Day 2.

Checked out Gabby's Bar and Grill where she enjoyed a game of darts and shot some pool. A little run over to the festival grounds to see what was going on there and tried rollerskating.


Some Sunday evening relaxation before starting a new week with additional youngsters.


She definitely needs to work on her art skills.


Then there was this random tourist singing to the statue in the park.

Gotta love the sometimes randomness of The Sims 3.

My Doris had to look after one toddler for an extended time yesterday, and just when they were finally picked up, their status changed from great to good. The games loves to throw a wrench into my perfectionist machinery like that

But we are on four toddlers now...


Everyone is great!

Doris Lucas of Lunar Lakes has been promoted to Good Guardian which is job level 4 out of 5 of the Daycare profession. She took care of two toddlers on saturday as well. I use Twoftmama's Faster Toddler Training v5 mod. Doris has taught little Irene Su to walk, talk, and potty. She is now working on Kristofer Sekemoto's toddler skills.

Leveled up to Lv4 Good Guardian on Friday and then had two different toddlers come by both Sat. and Sun. 1 on Sat. and 1 on Sun. Both days went great.

Telling a Tale becomes an option on Lv3 Daycare Dynamo. I didn't know that till I looked it up after seeing the option when I went to have Vanessa change back to her everyday outfit after work.
