It's been a while since Vintage Glamour came out and I haven't seen any info about these:-Has anyone found a way to change the butler uniform ? Whether simply changing its color or using something else entirely. Changing regular CAS outfits does nothing for a butler work attire. Is there a cheat to edit a sim's career outfit with their id that works for non controlled sims ?-Is there an invisible trait to make a playable sim act like a butler, bell ringing et all ? Or even a buff like the sims.add_buff NPC_Maid, though I doubt it due to the complex interactionsThis is not a jab at current butlers, I like the ones I have, I just want something more experimental now.Like a vampire Bonehilda behaving like a butler.-Edit- I just realized Vintage Glamour is a stuff pack not a gamepack, wrong section, woops

So be really hard to make sure your butler as dark energy replenished. If you plan on having a vampire butler, just a heads up have brought it up a couple times but not sure if we will get an assign coffin for butler in future.

I love having a butler, but can't stand that when I load the lot after my sim returns from somewhere or I'm starting to play, it'll be a different Butler spawned each time. It's very annoying!

It's very annoying! Yeah that is very big pain for me too, not sure why on earth that happens or why it is not being fixed. Especially frustrating if you got a good friendly relationship going with butler, was lucky with butler traits then all sudden end with a very bad butler with horrible butler traits.

Vampire butlers: As long as they don't have the weakness that prevents them sleeping in beds, sleeping in a bed will replenish their energy. I played a vampire butler for awhile and it was fine. You can't control butlers so there really isn't any way that they would have any powers or weaknesses. Change their clothing: I think there is a mod for that now at MTS. It's called Hired Help.Invisible trait: Butlers do have a hidden trait and hidden buff that identifies them as butlers. I don't know how you would add those to regular sims though, or if it would actually make them act like butlers.

Thanks a lot for pointing out this mod ! It's gonna help me achieve what I had in mind with other butlers.
Although I was really set on having Bonehilda sleep in a coffin so she's just playable with the maid buff for now. It'll do.

Is anyone having a problem editing butlers? I have done testingcheats true and cas.fulleditmode, and every time when I shift click on the butler and click modify in cas, it takes me to edit the family instead. Any solutions?

There is an issue with that cheat right now. It is under investigation. The suggested workaround is to go to Manage World and edit the Sim from there.

Is there a way for my sim to cheat with the butler without the butler getting jealous of her husband flirting with her? This particular butler had the non committal trait to , they had a night of passion and whilst I looked away for a second the husband greeted her with a kiss ruining the butlers and my sims romance bar :( I gave up and fired him as he kept insulting my sim aha but for future reference is there a way?

the noncommittal trait does nothing for jealousy, the only trait that does is the "Player" trait which is a reward for completing the serial romantic aspiration. You could either earn the trait or cheat it for yourself, but that would be the only way (besides using mods)

Click on the butler and tell him to do something eg. cook a family meal. Your sim will then take the bell to summon the butler.
