Rabbithole Daycare

Babies and toddlers in their cribs have the option of sending themselves away for daycare.

All daycare options are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - including holidays!

Attending daycare will decrease a baby or toddler’s Hygiene and Energy motives, but increase their Fun motive (unless they have the Loner trait).

Hygiene will also decrease faster or slower if a baby or toddler has the Slob or Neat trait, respectively.

Babies have one option for daycare called Little Sprouts Infant Care (§10/per hour) and will have their motives taken care of as needed.

Toddlers can go to basic daycare, where they will learn foundational skills like walking, talking, and potty training, or they can attend one of the specialized daycares that build hidden skills like painting and logic.

Specialized daycares require certain foundational skills before toddlers can enroll. They will also cost more per hour than basic daycare.

The household will be charged an initial fee, and then by the hour. The full amount will be deducted from the household funds once the baby or toddler is finished with daycare.

Tiny Tots Daycare (§10/per hour)
  • Requirements: None
  • Skills Taught: Walking, Talking, and Potty Training

Imagination Station (§30/per hour)
  • Requirements: Must be potty trained and able to walk
  • Skills Taught: Painting, Sandbox (sculpting), and Xylophone (musical instruments)

Early Erudite Learning Center (§30/per hour)
  • Requirements: Must be potty trained and able to talk
  • Skills Taught: Charisma, Pegbox (logic), and Writing

Regardless of which option you choose, toddlers will have their motives taken care of as needed, and they will have a chance to meet other toddlers in the world.

After meeting other toddlers at daycare, toddlers can play with them to increase their Social motive and build friendships (unless they have the Loner trait).

Each time a toddler leaves daycare, they have a chance of getting either the positive Happy About Home buff or the negative Upset About Leaving buff about going home.

New Moodlets

Happy About Home: Given when a toddler sim is happy after leaving daycare, lasts 4 hours, +20 mood

Upset About Leaving: Given when a toddler sim is upset after leaving daycare, lasts 4 hours, -20 mood

Tuning

All of the following values are tunable in the mod’s XML files.



Mod Recommendations

I would recommend the leave the baby home mod by climbingsideways to prevent the babysitter pop up if sims try to leave the lot while the baby or toddler is away at daycare.

Conflicts & Known Issues

This is a new script mod so there shouldn’t be any conflicts.
