Oh, Man! The Butler's Pregnant!

This is crazy. I lose the best Butler who got replaced by one not so good, until I did a game repair. That straightened the second butler out. She's doing a great job, now. But she just walked back into the kitchen where my Sim was having a conversation with his oldest son and lo, and behold, I see the huge Baby Bump! Heretofore, I was only seeing her from the back, this gaming session. What a shocker. Oh, man, I think I'm going to have to break in yet another Butler. What is the Sims' world coming to?

Talk about a plot twist.

  • Wow. Looking forward to updates! Good luck.

    In similar-but-different twist; I just found that either MCCC or Neighborhood Stories split my alien/witch roommates up by giving them both partners. I wanted that couple as my Bonnie's connection to Glimmerbrook and magic. :/

    Are you firing the Butler because of her baby? You could keep the butler and hire a nanny instead. Wonder if she will take the baby with her if you fire her or she quits after she gives birth.

    Oh, that's a bummer. Any way you can go into those households and 'fix' things? Or roll back a save?

    I'm not really sure at this point how it will play out. The Butler is an NPC that doesn't take up any household slots, although they are live-in. Not certain about the baby, though.

    I could probably move the households around if I wanted, but the lady with Neil has taken his last name. Since Bonnie is working on her own love life, I felt hard to begrudge her friends a chance at theirs...
    I think Esmeralda (the witch) still lives in the two-bedroom cottage in Glimmerbrook with her new beau, so that may have to do. :p
  • I think the butler's baby stays with their NPC family - though I could be mistaken, since I usually have male butlers who impregnant their wives instead lol.
  • @GalacticGal You could almost start a parallel story centered on your ongoing butler saga.? Variety is the spice of life and it appears your butler issues are making your life very spicy.

    That's where I'm at in a weird way with my werewolf save and Lou. What is he going to set fire to today? If he manages to not set fire to anything, a major accomplishment for him, how big of a mess will he and his daughter make of Ava's home?

    I'm concerned she will quit to take care of her own baby. Which I support in RL. So, we'll see what happens.
