Only 2 or 3 of my households have a live in butler. All have their private bedroom, which is normally equipped with stuff that the butler really don'rt need, and never use. Like a desk, books to read, etc. Today I noticed that in one of the houses the butler even got his own private bathroom, while the household of 5 share one bathroom :lol: Butlers don't ever use a bathroom, I think, but well, I feel sorry for them if they get no facilities at all... How about you?

Depends on the character of the sims employing him, lol. The super nice philanthropist with a five star fame and a pristine rep gave his butler his own wing. The vampire boss in the criminal career? His butler is basically a prisoner he uses to feed on :p

James Windsor Is head of the Jordan Family House Staff has a a Room, on the upstairs floor, in the West Wing, it's well decorated in a Roman, Nior Tone. He's well respected by the Family and the Staff. as well as a mutual respect between the Staff and Family.Debating how I want to spell his death tho, James is a very Loyal Friend and servant to Lord Adam Jordan. The Jordans are also a family of werewolves, and James is human, he's aware of his Master's being, and truly cares for the family. However, In 1881 there's going to be an attack on the Jordan Estate, that murders the entire family except the youngest son, Caleb.I wonder should I have James escape the Mansion, and care for the 13 year old werewolf?Because the tragedy was, Everyone dies, leaving Caleb alone for 85 years Beast.

Do Butlers even work? Every time I hire one they stand around and do nothing.

I'm pretty much the same. My sim has had the same butler working for him since VG came out and he's been great. So he gets a nice private space in the house as his living quarters and he gets treated very kindly. Of course he doesn't make use of most of the luxuries I've given him, but it's nice to think that he could if he wanted to.

My wealthy house owners also use their butler to socialize, it looks kinda sweet I think :)

How well do you treat your Butler?

Wow, love the details of your game story! My butlers don't even have a back story.

They usually get their own room.

I like to depend on my butler for social need if a Sim is home alone. I like to cheat to change their outfits, so they seem more like a live in housekeeper. They usually have good relationships with everyone, especially the kids. They get their own apartment in the basement with a bathroom, living room and bedroom of their own.

It seems my butlers are SPOILT!

Haha, yes they are :)

Well, I gave my butler an air mattress under the stairs next to some boxes. They're lucky they even got a bed XD
