Complication Encountered
Toddlers are adorable. Even the clingy and wild ones have their moments.

She and Kemps have actually done a better job showing up to check on the Earth Elemental Twins than the nanny that replaced Hiroko while the nanny is there. Jade should not have to walk this far to ask her uncle for food only for him to say goodbye. At least he shows up in those moments when I need to pay attention. I'm a bit peeved that he didn't help her, but there was a nanny staring at the door... Even Kemps saw the problem and peaced out.

Meet Dennis Amaro, the Zalrian Households new Butler. Dennis considered it an honor to help the last remaining Elder Lineage. He's definitely skilled in all the areas he would need to do his job as an Attendant to the Zalrians.

Using cheats, I maxed out all the skills I felt would be most helpful for him to do his jobs. Handiness, Cooking, Entertaining, and etc. He has the ideal traits for a Merman Butler.
First, I had to load him to a lot and cheat his stats to where I wanted them.
Then, I had to use the cheats in this order:
Traits.Equip_Trait isButler
Careers.Add_Career Butler
And wait until 6 am of the next day for him to cycle through one day of work. Time speeds up for this part.
Next, I marked his household as unplayed. He was originally a random Butler that the game spawned too. I changed the household name to Amaro.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50837945137_32936693d6_b.jpgI evicted him from the lot. For the final touches, I moved him into a lot on Sulani so he would be a Sulani Resident, just in case it affected where he went. The screenshots are from earlier trials, but I ended up following these steps.

So, here's a simplified list of things to make your own butler.
- Cheat the traits you want
- Make him or her look the way you want
*Make sure you do the above steps before the cheats to make him or her a butler. The order matters.*Use Cheats in the listed order:
- Traits.Equip_Trait isButler
- Careers.Add_Career Butler
- And wait until 6 am of the next day for him or her to cycle through one day of work. Time speeds up for this part.
Next:
- Mark him or her as unplayed
- Evict the household from the lot
Finally:
- Delete the butler the game generated
- Load the household
These steps worked twice for me, and he was still the butler after reloading the game.
Cas.FullEditMode will allow players to change the way the Butler looks in CAS without disrupting anything.
