Daycare on Demand

Need a few peaceful hours at home without the little ones?

Daycare on Demand lets you send Babies and Toddlers to daycare for approximately 8 in-game hours, even when a Teen or older caregiver is still at home.

No need to leave the house. No need to wait until everyone is busy. Just send them off and enjoy some uninterrupted household time.

Send Them to Daycare

Control a Teen, Young Adult, Adult, or Elder, click a Baby or Toddler from the same household, and choose:

Send to Daycare (~8h)

The little Para is immediately sent into Paralives' normal daycare system and stays there for around 480 game minutes.

Perfect when your household needs time for

• Work and household tasks

• Socializing or entertaining guests

• Going out without bringing the little ones

• Spending time with other household members

• Or simply enjoying a quieter home for a while

Daycare That Stays Useful

Normally, daycare can end as soon as a responsible household member is available again.

Daycare on Demand changes that for manually requested visits.

Once you send a Baby or Toddler to daycare, they remain there for the full approximate 8-hour visit, even if a Teen, Young Adult, Adult, or Elder is already home.

When their daycare stay is over, they automatically return using the game's normal daycare system.

Fully Integrated With Normal Daycare

Daycare on Demand works alongside Paralives’ existing daycare system rather than replacing it. It follows a fixed 8-hour schedule, so please keep in mind that your little one will remain at daycare for the full 8 hours before returning home.

• Babies and Toddlers only

• Teen or older household member required

• Both Paras must belong to the same household and be on the same lot

• Cannot be used when the Baby or Toddler is already at daycare

• Normal automatic daycare remains unchanged

• Normal daycare billing still applies

• No custom prices, discounts, refunds, or separate payment system

A Little More Freedom for Busy Households

Whether your Parafolk need time to work, socialize, take care of the house, or simply enjoy a few hours without childcare duties, Daycare on Demand gives you an easy way to create that breathing room.

Send them off. Enjoy the quiet. They'll be back in about 8 hours.
