Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Playstation 4
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.23
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Island Living, Seasons, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Dine Out, Get to Work, Parenthood, Cats & Dogs, Toddler Stuff, City Living, Laundry Day Stuff, Vampires, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Get Famous.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Butler is already working, just wait ten in-game minutes, go to work/leave the lot when the game asks you, and get back to the lot.
What happens when the bug occurs? The butler is replaced by a different one when returning back to the lot. Though the bed is still assigned to the previous butler.
What do you expect to see? The butler I originally hired still working on the lot.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? No, because I'm playing on console. No cheats have been used either.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No idea as I got Vintage Glamour Stuff fairly recently after the latest patch (as of this post) had already been installed.
Link to the save right before having to leave the lot (actor career) and with the original hired butler:

Though I have to point out this happens whenever you leave to any other lot, whether it's for work or not. Or at least that has happened to me so far.
The same thing is happening with me! I hired a butler to look after my kids, but every time I leave a lot and then come back I see a different butler returning back the same time as me, so leaving my baby abandoned! So annoying, seems like this bug has been around since 2018!
