If your Sim has a full-time job, keeping the house clean can be quite a challenge. They’re out 8 hours a day, working hard to make money.
To make your Sim’s life easier, you can hire a maid to clean the house.
How do I hire a cleaning service in Sims 4?
To hire a cleaning service in The Sims 4, click on the phone, select the House icon, go to Hire a Service, and then select the cleaning service. You can hire a one-time cleaning service or a recurrent service.
A maid will pay you a quick visit the next day and clean your house.
Only adult Sims can hire a cleaning service.
Maids often do a bad job in Sims 4
The maid service is pretty bad in The Sims 4. Hiring a maid to clean your house is not very reliable.
Oftentimes, maids won’t do the laundry. Don’t be surprised if the first maid you hire does a bad job cleaning your house.
Sometimes, they get stuck in one place and won’t do anything. Your house is still a complete mess after they leave.
Many maids have the kleptomaniac trait in Sims 4
Many of the maids you’ll hire to clean your house in The Sims 4 have the Kleptomaniac trait. They’ll steal all kinds of stuff from your house if you don’t keep an eye on them.
Don’t be afraid to fire them if you’re not happy with their services.
Create a house cleaning group
If you have Get Together installed, you can create a house cleaning group. Basically, you’ll create a group of maids and make cleaning your house one of their recurrent activities.
All you need to do is schedule a meeting at your place and they’ll clean the place when they get there.
You don’t really need a maid
If you don’t have a big house, your Sim can clean the house themselves.
For example, you can buy a dishwasher, and select Load Dishwasher to clean all the dirty plates and glasses in one go.
Cleaning the toilet and showers doesn’t take much time. The same is valid for the kitchen sink and stove.
You can also upgrade household items so they don’t get dirty that often.
And now you know.
