I am tired of the butler. i made a home with a trait lot of peace and quiet for reading, and now she won't put the book down, she doesn't care for the young, which is a pain, cause the sims i control take the toddler out of his high chair as soon as i get them in and they are starving!!!! but i digress, yeah, not doing any of the tasks that you would assume would be normal for a flipping butler. not cleaning, not caring for kids, not cooking....just reading.....in the corner of my kids room.....not sleeping, eating, anything....just reading....and no matter how many times i fire and try to hire a new one, they send the same person....i even changed her traits in cas to be more productive....nope....over it.....can't find a current supported mod for the issue either.....gd. how am i going to have an insane number of children if i have no butler?? huh?? i can't feed all the toddler and make the food to feed them....freaking social services....#simslifeproblems

Technically Butlers in real life are not kid caretakers - but - you can actually give your butler assigned work - you know. The hired butlers do not all do the same things either. I often fire Butlers until i find one who does seem to have attributes I want in my Butlers - but if you have a Butler you like otherwise - well you can always hire a Nanny for child care - as that is supposedly what Nannies do. Butlers generally take care of the house and gardens more than anything on their own - and they will do assigned tasks if I have my sim click him/her and assign them different tasks. Generally when I assign them a new task though they stop doing certain tasks they came with so I assume their task list is limited.
