Operations will be suspended until the Sim gets their license back this entails taking a class at City Hall, which costs §1000.Ĭrying children and erratic moods are not for everyone. If children are repeatedly in horrible moods when their parents pick them up, a daycare provider can lose their daycare license. When this is initiated, the toddlers and children will gather around and listen to the tale being told. This option is used to have the Sim tell a tale for the children, which increases their social and fun needs. Sims who reach level 3 in this profession will have the 'Tell Tale' self-interaction. Curing a problem child will earn the daycare provider a 1,000 simoleon tip. Eventually, problem children will be 'cured' and will no longer break appliances or require special attention. The daycare provider will have an option to 'talk about problems' with them, which keeps them out of trouble and keeps items intact. The player must initiate the 'help with homework' interaction to get them to do it. Occasionally, a problem child will not do their homework, even if they are asked to.

Their homework takes longer for them to complete as well. Responsibilities eventually include working on the weekends as well as taking care of a 'problem child.' Problem children will break appliances and electronics if left alone. At the end of the day, a report is given based on each child's mood the best being 'great.' If the child had an 'okay', 'good', or 'great' report, the parent will give the daycare provider a handsome tip. Make sure there are plenty of toys and books for the kids and the proper care items for them. Toddlers will be dropped off at the Sim's house in the morning and children arrive on their own after their school day (which may or may not include afterschool activities they are enrolled in). To join this profession, have a Sim use a phone or computer, click on the Jobs & Professions tab, and select the day care option. Daycare is the only self-employed profession to have only five levels.

As their job level increases, daycare specialists will be asked to take care of more children, and unlock a new daycare uniform. Daycare specialists are responsible for watching and taking care of both toddlers and children. Any Sim can turn their home into a daycare center.

Daycare is a self-employed profession added in The Sims 3: Generations.
