The social worker is an NPC featured in The Sims series who volition have away a baby, toddler, child, or pet if their needs drop besides depression, or in later games, if in that location are no more older Sims remaining in the household (i.eastward. due to expiry). They too will come to deliver adopted kids to their new family.

The Sims and The Sims Bustin' Out [ ]

The social worker alert from *The Sims*.

In The Sims, the social worker is an NPC in the base game. The social worker is a woman named Sylvia who will come to take neglected babies from a Sim household (after a babe cries for a protracted corporeality of time). Unlike The Sims 2 and The Sims iii, social workers in The Sims only accept away babies.

A glitch exists in The Sims Bustin' Out for console where the histrion will not get a notification that their baby is existence neglected, resulting in the social worker confiscating the child without warning.^{[confirmation needed]}

The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories [ ]

In The Sims 2, in addition to removing babies, toddlers, and children whose needs fall too low, the Social worker volition take whatsoever who are left home alone or are orphaned (i.eastward. the last adult Sim in the household dies), besides as children who are getting an F in school. If The Sims 2: Seasons is installed, the social worker will as well come up if a toddler or kid becomes too common cold or too hot. Dissimilar The Sims, if the social worker takes away a child, all other children younger than teen will besides exist removed from the house.

If a child dies, the Grim Reaper will instead have away the child.

One time they are taken away, they will all be available for adoption past a different family (or families).

It has been noted that Sims may not always get a memory of their children being taken away, but this is relatively uncommon.

The only way to stop the social worker from taking away children without cheats is the "Plead with Social Worker" interaction, which is only available in The Sims 2: FreeTime every bit an aspiration benefit for Sims with Family unit as their main or secondary aspiration. Even if there is a wall around the children or if the social worker can't achieve the child, she volition teleport the child out of the structure and to her car.

Visits from the social worker are not always negative; in The Sims two: Nightlife, the gypsy matchmaker may drop her as a blind date, and she also delivers adopted kids to their new families. Later on an The Sims 2: Open for Business patch, social workers are no longer in the dateable sims pool.

Oddly, should a family adopt a kid taken from another family, the child Sim will accept lost all memories associated with their claret family unit up until the point they arrived in their adoptive home. The family unit tree does not get erased, however.

Social workers are considered to be non-playable NPCs. A neighborhood volition have iii social workers, who are known simply as "Social Worker". They are all adult females, and all have the same hairstyle and outfit. Social workers do not take last names, so if the player cheats to make a social worker have a infant, the baby will accept no last name.

Still, there isn't an adoption service in Castaway Stories, so information technology'south unknown whether the child tin can be placed in a household over again.
