Fix the Butler!!!

It's been years(?) one would have thought this would have been fixed by now. I keep trying and hoping that maybe, just maybe, it would right itself but no such luck.

I hadn't messed with the butlers before I found there was a mod to make butlers have proper needs (since they, y'know, live in the house). Apparently butlers don't need a LOT of things a regular sim does, which is a little scary and unnerving. So I tested things out, and set a butler to live in a tiny portion of the lot and locked them in, and there was nothing that killed that poor man besides fire or drowning. Scary.

I installed the mod ages ago, but never got anther butler because I found that when I let that robot man out, he just stood around, or got a LOT of water from the sinks and let it sit in weird places like behind the tv or ontop the fireplace or in a bookshelf...and he wouldn't actually bother to... do any of his tasks, ever.

I wish they would fix them! They are even a main SP feature. I have this bug as well.

Thanks. Glad to hear I'm not the only one losing patience with the butler and other NPCs. I would even be more glad if improving the NPCs was on somebody's to-do list.

I agree - they are so worthless. I have not had one in a long time but tried again recently and fired the butler in one day - all she did was stand around outside in the freezing cold weather (how she did not die is beyond me - I was actually hoping she would!) and even if my sim gave her a command, I would get some kind of notice that she could not do that right now - what???? Tell her to cook a meal and it acted like my sims did not have the items needed to do so - um, yes they did.

I quit using the butler a while ago

#metoo. And the maid. And the gardener. And I've given up on ordering pizza. NPC's definitely need improvement.

And while we are at it, why only a single butler? Since Get Famous my sims are filthy rich, they want to show it by number of employees.

And for me the most important thing would be some hidden trait cheat to make one or more household members functioning butlers. I've spent so much time creating my Alfred Pennyworth, why is cleaning my Batmobile?
