For some reason my maid won't clean. I got a butler and she wouldn't clean like she usually does. I hired a maid and all she did was stand at the front door. She finally walked in my house and got excited that she would finally clean, but then she just ate some cereal then left with my money. My butler won't do anything but the things you tell her to do otherwise she'll just stand there. She won't even go to sleep! I tried firing them and re-hiring, but that didn't work, so i dismissed them then did force NPC and that didn't work either... Does anyone have any suggestions that will help?

Throw into the mix the Mood Meter/Moodlet bug and as soon as your Sim starts cleaning, the mood gets too low and they stop cleaning and the clean option is no longer available, leaving the Sims completely miserable and unable to improve the situation.
I tried dismissing the Maid, causing the Maid to insult the Sim and lowering mood even further. :x
Unfortunately, the Mood problem caused me to start again from scratch, although I think the replacement Maid did at least some cleaning. To be honest though, at that point I was more concerned by the Mood Meter problem as it was making the game unplayable. I've read that the Mood Meter problem is caused by a broken Moodlet from sleeping on a cheap bed. I have to start again to test this theory as due to poor moods, my Sims were stuck in low payed jobs and couldn't afford to buy a more expensive bed(the one they had cost 2000 Simoleans and cash never seemed to get above 1000 after bills etc.) :?
I've had cc houses where maids would not even enter the lot.
Of course if it's not a cc house then this is probably not the issue... but you could try just in case.

get them into a house. delete the fire alram. set an object on fire. leave and lock the door to everyone but myself. (requires pyromaniac trait).
Muahaha :twisted:
Yep thats what mine does the maid doesn't clean at all she just brushes her teeth and eats then leaves. The butler makes food, but instead of disappearing he stands there and eventually passes out and wakes up every time i walk by.
I sent the Daddy Sim to fire them both, but changed my mind and just had him tell them both to Stop Doing That. Surprisingly, that seemed to do the trick, and they both got back to work.
I don't know if it's a bug, or what. But each and every maid I hire just stands at the door all day long doing nothing. They even come two at a time and still do nothing all day long. They won't even pick up the old newspapers on the front lawn. Then when my 5 roommates come home from work they take, no STEAL their money and go. They just stand around at the front door all night long and keep lifting that $125 every so often. I've spent close to 5 grand on these evil lazy ********. It's got to be a bug I have right?
The house is a base game library house, but with a few cc items for deco. Only one door into the house. I've checked and rechecked that it wasn't locked, or blocked. All 5 roommates can come and go freely. I just can't figure out what's the deal with these maids not doing anything and then taking $125 multiple times.
As this thread had been inactive since 2011, I'm closing it as per our necroposting rules.
