Learn about the Social Worker's role and how to call the Technician for §50 in The Sims 3. Discover workplaces like City Hall and Doo Peas Corporate Towers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The first time you see Social Workers is when they drop off an adopted child. You can talk to them and get to know them.
  2. 2
    The second time you see Social Workers is when they take children away due to neglect. You will receive clear warnings beforehand. After they take the children, you will not see them again.
Tips
  • The Social Worker's appearance to take children is a consequence of poor parenting.

The Technician can fix broken appliances, disabled electronics, leaking showers, and clogged toilets. This service is useful if your Sims do not have the Handiness skill to perform repairs themselves. After completing a repair, the Technician may stay for a chat.

Tips
  • The Technician has a 99% chance of successfully repairing any item that uses electricity.
