The Sims 4 offers players a dynamic virtual world where they can create and oversee the lives of their Sims. Starting as babies and progressing to toddlers, these Sims have various needs that caregivers must attend to, such as hunger and hygiene.

Managing the demands of parenthood alongside other responsibilities in The Sims 4 can sometimes be challenging. That's where daycare becomes a valuable resource. With the inclusion of the Toddler Stuff expansion pack, players now have the option to send their toddlers to daycare before heading off to work.

Advancing in the career in The Sims 4 is the main objective for numerous gamers. Nonetheless, the responsibilities of a full-time job can create difficulties in consistently tending to toddlers. This article will provide a comprehensive walkthrough of the procedure to send toddlers to daycare in The Sims 4.

How to Send a Toddler Sim to Daycare in The Sims 4

Simmers can send their toddler Sims to daycare by following these straightforward steps:

To send a toddler Sim to daycare, players must first have a toddler in their household. If they don't already have one, they can easily add a toddler by accessing the CAS mode and using the cheat console. Simply type 'cas.fulleditmode' in the cheat console and select 'Modify in CAS.'

In the CAS mode, players will see the ‘Add a Sim’ option in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

Click this icon, choose the Sim’s name and traits, and make sure to reduce their age.

Once a Sim has successfully added a toddler to their household, they can access their smartphone to hire a service. From there, they can select the 'NPC' option and choose 'Daycare'. This will display a list of available daycare providers.

Once a provider has been chosen, players can confirm their decision. They also have the option to select a specific duration of stay, ranging from one to 12 hours. After making these choices, the daycare provider will arrive to collect the toddler. It is important to ensure that the toddler is fed before sending them to daycare, as a hungry or uncomfortable child may have a difficult time and may not fully enjoy their experience at daycare.

In addition to utilizing the daycare service, players have the option to employ a nanny to attend to their toddler's needs as necessary. This can be accomplished by accessing the smartphone and navigating to the 'Hire a Service' menu, where the 'Hire a Nanny' option awaits selection.

The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
