Nanny kidnaps infants?

[vickylougrl]

I have no idea why this is happening but it's so irritating.  I will have my sim hire useless nanny because they are exausted.
Nanny comes she takes mediocre care of baby, makes messes half prepared food then....when it's time to leave she tries to take the baby.  Apparently the game won't let her get away with this crime so she throws baby in front of mail box!  Ugh!  Why??
  It's happened twice on two different lots.

I have all the patches so I don't know why this is  happening.  Anybody know what I can do?

Here is some pictures I snapped of attempted kidnapping.

Here she goes trying to take baby her acomplice waits in van.


Getting in van with baby.


Look at these two.....they look like psycho kidnappers.




They can't take baby so they throw baby on road by mail box!  Poor baby!

That's horrible!  Poor baby indeed.

I have heard of that happening before, but that time the nanny actually got away with kidnapping the baby.  I don't think anyone has figured out just why this happens.  Scary bug though.

[vickylougrl]

Oh boy!  It really sux's cause this couple works so they need nanny ugh...I guess they are going to have to build a Servo to take care of baby.

[vickylougrl]

ooh!  I snapped pics of the other attempted kidnapping by psycho nannnies!
This is Brandy Broke's house and baby.
Nanny leaves home with baby in her arms like she is going to take it.
Then has second thoughts?! and puts baby on grass.


Another infant left on the lawn by the trash can by Nanny!  Ugh...I hate the Nanny.

I had no problems with the nanny until my legacy founder needed to call one, 'cause she was shattered, hubby was working, and they already had three cats to look after. Given the story's posted I'll try not to spoil anything:

Toddler filled 'its' nappy, but all the nanny would do was put the tot in the chair, take 'it' out and put on the floor, grab a bottle, put back in chair... rinse and repeat. Although she did empty a potty before I'd had enough. Ugh... never again.

[vickylougrl]

LOL!  The frizzy haired one above is obsessive compulsive about bathing.  Baby grew into a toddler now she is going to wash baby to death.  I went ahead and had hubby build two servos they are at least controllable.

Nanny still comes even tho she got fired and washes their clean toddler over and over again. ugh....

That's messed up. It got me laughing though..a lot! I've never had a nanny go all wonky on me though

[mamasimk]

I hate using the nannies. I had a couple hire one and the first thing she did was start an argument with the mother, which leaves her furious with the nanny. Even if you fire them, then still keep coming. I'd rather just have only one parent work, or move in another sim to help out the family. Servos may be an answer, but I got tired of them too, always wanting to be social with the family, but at least I never had one try to kidnap the baby.

Well on the bright side, Apartment life you can actually ask a neighbor to watch the kids now! ( if you have the EP) Definately dont use the butler to do it because he doent really pay them attention!

[vickylougrl]

LOL!  If my ricketty ole puter can handle not sure looking forward to sims 3!  I actually miss the monkey butler from the old timer sims 1 he was funny!

I actually had the Nanny kidnap my toddler - completly vanished from my house. Did you use the 'dismiss' on the nanny when she did it? My nanny behaved for a few days before the kidnapping, then when I dismissed her, she snapped and decided to take the kid with her. XD

[vickylougrl]

oh boy thats stinks!  So far it seems only to be infants no toddlers but haven't really played any toddlers for too long recently so yeah it's possible they would want to take them too!
Ugh!  I'm starting to think this is some new recent bug cause i'm seeing baby thefts a lot now!

[deekitty31]

Psycho Nanny's??  Oh my! I've never seen this happen, but I will definately keep a close eye on them. LOL!

[Lis Noir]

My nannies have never kidnapped the kids, but one time there was one that just wouldn't leave, even when I dismissed and fired her. She stayed in the lot for "days" and they kept sending in another nannies to do her job..SO, I would have two useless nannies at the same time, who would start fighting with the parents.

The best place for these psycho nannies is 'The Nanny Jail' :-P
