Are Butlers ok to play with and where to eat?

That sucks. You should try again. As I said, I've only had one butler get replaced. Of course I'm sure you made sure to assign your butler to a bed but just saying it in case you missed that.

@IceyJ Normally it leaves the household funds automatically. Mine was around 200 every day at midday. But the one that happened after rotating away and back again had a notification like this

You're lucky, because my butlers are replaced almost every time I leave the lot. You'll see the (new) butler jogging onto the lot when you return, as if they're just arriving. On a positive note, the game seems to rotate through a small group of them, so sometimes I get my original butler back.

Perhaps your sims rarely leave home?

Wow. Yeah, I think I've seen a notification like that maybe once, and I have multiple butlers in multiple homes that I rotate through. I think I'd notice too, if my funds were being reduced every day.

Maybe my game is glitched, but I'll pay more attention next time.

I did not play the butler since long, as I had major problems with them charging my household with gigantic bills, resulting in most finer homes having cash balance of §0. I suspect it happened because I play on rotation and that butlers kept charging also for days I was not playing that household. So, I now have live-in played butlers instead.

I don't know if the charging has been fixed yet. If you don't play many households this should be nothing to worry about. I never had problems with their work. They sometimes came and left the house but that might not happen (so much) if just that household is played. They cleaned and cooked and repaired etc, depending on what schedule/tasks they were signed up for. Their skills and personality vary, so there will be some bad guys and some treasures, you can easily ask for another butler if you are not satisfied ;)

Do butlers or nannys do laundry also? just curious.

Another question about eating out, can you have a restaurant serve every meal instead of having it just be a preset style?

You can customize the menus that restaurants have in build buy, so you aren't just limited to presets.
There may be an upper limit on just how many total things can be on the menu though, so I'm not sure if you can have one restaurant which has "everything"...I've customized all of the restaurant's menu's in my game, but I never tried making them have that many options.

You can tell butlers to make food or serve drinks. They'll do it automatically sometimes. The Butler being replaced doesn't really bother me because so many butlers are no good but every once in a while I get a butler I really like and it's sad when they're not there anymore. Another food hack is just having the Banquet table. You just click on the table and select the food you want.

My sim uses the lilmssams food deivery mod alot as she has the refined palate so she orders appropriate food for that time of day (think they may have every type of food in the delivery list) and every serving is excellent quality, also if you have the free services reward its free food. I placed a restaurant in brindleton bay which fits her famous status and the decor and style is very fitting of her, i just change the menus to what type of outing shes having there eg. if its a date its italian which i find has a good mix, brunch if eating with friends and so forth, just have to take the rare food poisoning episodes. The food stalls around the different towns are also excellent quality i find. Hopefully butlers cook excellent quality dishes but if not will stick to what i know, i wish each type of food gave you a little description mostly with the cultural foods as ive never heard of some of them before and it would be a nice little extra bit of info.
