Babysitting Gigs
🕑 Added 2023-04-01 04:00:19 +0000 UTC
What Is It
This is a mod that adds babysitting oddjobs or gigs to the game. This is only available as a teen job and as a part-time job for university students who are teen or young adult. Gigs are available mostly at night time though a few during the day. They range in level of skills needed and complexity of number and age of children. All gigs are matched to families from the game that meet the parameters of the specific gig and those families may be played or unplayed depending on the gig.
How it Works
Booking Babysitting Gigs
Your sim can pick up the phone and access the Babysitters Club Gig listings. Your sim has the choice to either select a normal gig and go to a rabbithole to perform the job or can choose an active gig and go to the lot of a family in game. In the listings there will be gigs available based on the babysitter's rating level. Babysitting skill can be earned through gigs. Parenting skill also affects the babysitting skill.
After accepting a job babysitting, when it's time for the gig to begin, the babysitter will need to go to the infant, toddler, and/or children's location (note that active gigs begin immediately) or the babysitter can go to a rabbithole like a normal oddjob depending on what was chosen. They will be responsible for caring for those little ones until the gig is over.
Rabbithole Gigs
Rabbithole Gigs last anywhere from 2-5 hours. They function the same as a normal rabbithole oddjob/career.
Active Gigs
To start the active gig, once you arrive at the family's home, you must knock on the door. For all but two gigs the other teens and adults on the lot will immediately leave. In the "Family Helper" and "Twice the Work" gigs, they will stay but your sim can chose to make them leave the lot by clicking on the target Sim and choosing to "Send Babysitting Family Member Away". Active Gigs last at most four hours long but they can be as short as you want depending on how quickly your sim gets through their tasks. There are 8-9 objectives for each active gig but a sim only needs to complete 6. Some gigs are only available depending on the makeup of the sims in your world so if you don't have babies or infants, for example, some gigs which require a baby or infant will not be available so I suggest a range of ages.
Tasks are available in the Career panel and show up below.
Performance
How well they do depends on their relationship with the ones in their care, their parenting and babysitting skills, and the duties and responsibilities they complete while on the job. More successful gigs will improve the babysitting skill thereby improving career performance allowing sims to rank up. Sims have the ability to rank up in the Babysitter's Club Agency to achieve better paying and more varied gigs. Sims start out with a 0 Star Rating and can go up to a 5 Star Rating.
Requirements
Island Living for the Odd Jobs menu.
Compatibility and Conflicts
Parenthood is not required but highly recommended.
Note: The optional Parenthood module will conflict with other mods that allow teens to earn the parenting skill.
Other Notes
Sometimes the parents/caregivers/other teens don't yeet off the lot immediately after you arrive dependent upon autonomy or they arrive from work even hours after you've arrived. You can always send them on their way by clicking on the sim and choosing the option to "Send Babysitting Family Members Away" or you can let them stay. Totally up to you!
Note that babies disappear since they are hardcoded to go to daycare when their parent/caregiver goes off lot and aren't easily blocked from this. I hope one day to find a workaround for this but until then babysitters can only be responsible for infants-preteens.

Hi a.deep.indigo! I have translated your mod in Spanish, greetings.
Parkinson
Yes! I have all the packs, PH included and files from the zip added.
adeepindigo
Do you have PH installed?

Hello, I'm not sure if I am missing anything (I have all the packs and extracted the files in my mods folder, no sub-folder.) but the active babysitting gig didn't work for me instead I've been on the loading screen for the last 20 minutes and had to force close my game because nothing was loading. My loading time takes 1-3 minutes and my game was working perfectly before I started testing the babysitting mod. I don't have any babysitting related mods nor parenthood mods. Is there anything else that could be conflicting? Thanks!
Linda
When i have this mod installed the infant doesn't disappear to daycare when the adult sim leaves the lot for work or rabbithole activities. I took everything out and tested a clean save with and without this mod and it just glitches out for this particular mod. Not sure if Im the only one experiencing this.

seria interessante se os sims pudessem trabalhar sem estar na universidade

what time today does this become publicly available as its not letting me download
Hi, my sims failed their gigs if they miss one task but it still raised their stars from 0 to 4. Is this a conflict with another mod or a glitch?
It does not show up with the babysitting gigs under the phone. Am I downloading it incorrectly? I put all the files in my mods folder

can you tell me how to find the tier release schedule please? it has been week since their comment to you but i still cant seem to download it. i think i would rather just pay up front for a mod instead of pay monthly from here on out, for "reasons" personally.

Okay I didn't see the tier release schedule at first, but I see it now Thanks!
adeepindigo
Joined what? I’m in the hospital right so I can get your details but the tier release schedule is on the mod updates. If you tier isn’t sapphire you have to wait until next week.
ajanee
When I try downloading this mod it say's "Because I want to be able to make sure descriptions are available to non-patrons, this page will serve as a hub for each tier release." I've already joined.
adeepindigo
I’m confused by the question.
Jennifer LaFaso
Is it supposed to be available to download already?
