Musical Chairs...Butler Edition
Does anyone else have trouble making their sims retain the same butler? I seem to have a pool of butlers that switch between various households that employ their services, and they don't only switch ...

I'm glad you posted this because I was going to get "Vintage Glamour" specifically for the butlers, but now it seems pointless. I've been just making my staff part of the household and giving them traits that will encourage them to keep to themselves and clean, plus using clubs to allow or disallow access to certain areas of the house, but this has the obvious disadvantage of taking up space in the house for the 8-sim max.
My other idea, which I haven't tried yet, is to have just one head servant or butler (again, part of the family) that lives in the house. Then I would have a nearby lot that houses the rest of the staff (maybe multiple small cottages on 1 lot with door locks so everybody goes to their own cottage). Then I would put them in a cleaning club and just have the live-in servant call a club meeting when I wanted them to come to work.
