Maid

A maid is an NPC that can work for you for Simoleons. Maids arrive daily at about 10:00 a.m and will leave when all their work is done, or when it gets late. Maids do such things as:


 * Cleaning up dishes
 * Cleaning up trash
 * Cleaning up after pets
 * Cleaning furniture (eg. counters, toilets, showers)
 * In Sims 1, counters do not require cleaning


 * Making beds
 * Serve meals, if directed by your sim to do so
 * Only in Sims 2, and the option is absent if influence is present

Maids have high cooking and cleaning skill points and are complete all-rounders.

Sims 1
In the Sims 1, the maid is a light-skinned brunette named Brigit, dressed in a stereotypical "French Maid" outfit. The only available interactions with her are "Dismiss", making her leave for the day, or "Fire". For §10 Simoleons an hour she will make beds, clean bathrooms, spray roaches, mop up floods, wash dishes, and dispose of trash, pet droppings and ashes from fires. If the Poseidon's Adventure Aquarium from the base game is present, she will clean it, and she will clean the cages of small pets. She will not clean up unspoiled food unless it is on the floor or the ground, and will not flush toilets before cleaning them. She can and will clean some items, such as showers and tubs, before they become dirty enough to be cleanable by family members. (This has been known to cause shower/tubs to get "stuck" in a dirty state.)

In Makin' Magic, if Brigit encounters the Skeleton Maid, she will quit in terror, and you will have to call to hire her again.

Sims 2
In The Sims 2 you can talk or flirt with a maid, and tell her to cook, as well as dismiss or fire her -- or him; maids can be either male or female. Male maids wear half-unbuttoned pastel shirts with matching gloves, and black pants. Female maids wear typical "French Maid" outfits with white aprons, and have long hair with a small tiara. If a maid dies, is deleted, or is moved into a house and becomes a playable character, the game will automatically generate a new maid to replace him/her. There is one maid that is important in Plesantview's story and that is Kaylynn Langerak.
