I wonder if there are mods to aviod certain recipes (when using the butler from LN for example what he serves is not controllable)
There are mods that will prevent actively controlled sims from autonomously preparing recipes for which the ingredients are not already in stock or not available to them (e.g., no fridge shopping). I don't know if those work on butlers. I don't play with households servants whom I can't control, it never works out well for me. Maybe maids once in a while, but they shouldn't be cooking anyway.
That reminds me I hired a maid once in an old save, she came in and immediately started making herself a hotdog. She got mad when fired.
What I meant was maids shouldn't be cooking platters of food to serve to their employers as it's not part of their job responsibilities. Some of them will goof off, although when they get hungry I usually see them eating soup, ice cream or other quick snacks. Can't really be annoyed at them for that. Maybe this one just liked to cook?
That's exactly my point though LOL, it isn't her job to be cooking... :D She was supposed to be cleaning though, so I had to fire her. After that I was too scared to hire maids.
I had okay luck with Butlers though. I got Helen who has really look traits, so much so I added her to the family and she married the heir. But before I took control of her she would drink a lot. That I totally let happen though, because I thought it was hilarious.
She was good with cleaning everything all the time though, still is. I can ignore her all day and she'll just clean.
It's funny how the butlers diverse... I had one butler that was just cooking and cooking all day, there were babies at the household and he didn't help with them at all (aren't they supposed to help with the kids too?) and in the rest of the time he was just sitting. Another butler I have now cleans, she doesn't cook unless asked for, and she read books / drinks a lot at the rest of the time. I guess it has something to do with the household they get into in the first place.
