Wow, it's been a while since I was on here last.
Anyway, so my sim family has two toddlers, Ruthie and Koby. They also have a maid, Grady Elfman. Grady has been the maid since before the kids were born and I've had no problems with him.
Until today.
So it started with him eating some ice cream from the fridge and my sim Connor, (his wife Kacey was at work, he stays at home), had to tell him to stop. I was annoyed but figured maybe he was just having a bad day.
So I went on with my game. But then I noticed that Ruthie was missing from the house. I checked out where she was and she was sitting outside crying, and Grady was just standing there looking at her, (with an... odd expression might I add). I noticed she had a moodlet that said "creeped out" and I immediately became alarmed.
The description said "ewww, Grady Elfman sure is acting creepy". I immediately had the father run outside, and pick her up. Then he fired the maid. I mean, this is sims so I doubt he did anything too bad, but I felt uncomfortable with him around and he clearly did something that scared Ruthie.
I'm curious though, if anyone has any idea what might have happened to trigger the moodlet. I've never had this happen before!

You should've let him eat some ice cream.
That has never happened to me as well. I would've fired him, too.
However, you also said Grady was eating ice cream and afterwards was looking at the toddler with an odd expression. Did Grady eat Brain Freeze a la Mode? When a Sim sees or interacts with someone who has eaten Brain Freeze a la Mode, they will also get the creeped out moodlet, so that’s another possibility.

Oh, he did eat the brain freeze a la mode, I thought that was just ice cream. That would explain it! Why Ruthie was crying, I don't know, maybe she couldn't reach a toy or something. Ah well, he still creeped her out so I'll just have him stay fired for her. That makes sense though, thanks everyone for your help!
I didn't know they were kleptos O.O
But I've never seen them rob or take anything...
Well, Grady did steal the OP’s ice cream! I rarely hire maids in my games so I haven’t seen any of them pocket anything myself, but others have reported that they do sometimes steal objects.
I do agree with firing him for creeping out Ruthie. That's just...creepy.
Mine was just a routing issue, but man it was still creepy!
BTW: thanks for the warning about the Brain-Freeze a la-Mode
But I usually let them as well. Even if they haven't lifted a finger to clean the house since they arrived, when they leave and charge their daily rate a lot of basic things in the house just instantly clean themselves so it's always an improvement (from what I see) compared to when they walked in. The beds may not get made and the laundry doesn't get done that way, pretty sure the leaves don't get raked though I think already raked piles will get cleaned up as will dead plants. I've never had dishes left undone or seen bathrooms stay dirty unless there is a plumbing malfunction or I've left internal doors locked after they finish their shift.
