[COLLECTION THREAD] Butler Issues

I've had a butler for two sim days now and he doesn't seen to have any need decay.  I'm running NO MODS.  He goes around gardening, checking for dust, cooking, drinking from the globe, cleaning, etc.  I can't fault his work ethic. 🙂  I've even used the testingcheats on and shift clicked on him to Enable Need Decay in case it was bugged that way.  But he still never seems to tire, get dirty, hungry or need the toilet.  Is this intended?  I have a bedroom for him with the bed assigned to him. 

Ok, not 5 minutes after I posted this he finally took a bath and went to bed.  Still hasn't used the toilet yet.  So I'm not sure in Enabling the Need Decay did the trick (did it on Sim day 1 for him).  But will keep an eye on him.

OK

Leaving it here for now to see if others have similar issues

@shetcogle , here is a link to the butler section of the simsvip game guide on VG, https://simsvip.com/sims-4-vintage-glamour-guide/#Butler

It indicates that only 3 motives are enabled for butlers: hunger, energy and fun.   If accurate, butlers shouldn't need to use a toilet or bathe for any reason other than a bubble bath for fun.

I've seen him do the bubble bath for sure.  He didn't sleep or eat for two days when I first got him.  So not sure what was happening there.

Do you remember what time you hired him ? Evening ? There was an issue with some other NPC if you hired them in the evening, it took a few days for them to start working properly.

Is all good now ?

My butler doesn't sleep at all. He doesn't eat or bathe either. And, with him being awake all night, my game clock runs at regular speed when the entire house should be asleep. It's annoying ☹️

Any mods/cc ?

If not,  are you willing to share your save game ?

If so, please zip up this folder: documents\electronicarts\thesims4\saves and drop the file to this Mediafire-Link to upload.

Hello,

I'm having huge problems with my butler on The Sims 4. It is a brand new Sims 4 installation on to a brand new PC, no CC or Mods. The first time round the butler wouldn't cook anything and would only cook veg food because the trait of the butler was veg.

I fixed this as someone suggested like other players said, by visiting a Dine Out cafe, fire the butler and a new butler will spawn.

I did this and it worked fine.

Now, with my butler in another save, they won't stay. They keep leaving the flat for 4/5 hours about x4 times a day. I've tried resetting the sim, repairing and moving the saves out and back into the game.

Please help.

Thanks.
