The Butler As A Birth Preventative?

Up until now, I've sung the virtues of having a Butler over a Nanny. The Butler is diligent when it comes to taking care of the babies, in particular. My Rock Star just returned home from a concert, stopping by the studios briefly to release his new album. After what some players were saying on the forum this morning, I decided to have him change the diaper and feed his infant daughter. However, before he could do that, the Butler walked right into the Master Suite and fed the infant, who promptly went to sleep.

In the meantime, after such an exuberant night my Sim desired some 'alone time' with his wife. But, yet there stood the Butler. Even after my Sim shooed him from the room. Of course, my bad, I had his wife praise the Butler for his good work in the interim. Once again, my Sim gives his wife a suggestion of woohoo and then shoos the Butler. What does the Butler do in response? He picks up the newborn infant to feed her once again. Face/palm.

Is this his way of keeping down his workload? It's not like I chose "try for baby", or anything. LOL

I do appreciate how diligent at his job he is, but c'mon on! The Sim just needs a little lovin'. LOL

Please do share your moments when things don't go quite as planned. :*

    My butler all die afterwards 4 days of sevice.. can't figure it out. I see them taking care of their own needs so it is not that. No mods


    Mostly the Butlers they send my Sims from the Agency are Elders.

    Two out of four of mine were Elders so maybe that was it, but the other two aren't. They were young adult

    I have since added MCCC into some of my game files, although I don't use it for all of them. And I have a foster-care mod so we can get a bunch of kids after having a full house already haha. I like the mods but I like the game without too so I only use them about half the time and my Butler's are all in a non modded game. Or they were I gave up on them LOL

    Yeah, I can understand not wanting to clutter your game with mods if you don't want the hassle - however with the current mess the game is at the moment, it's not really playable without mods. Well, unless you're fine with things like butlers doing weird things. A lot of it isn't even recognized as 'bugs' by Maxis, since they just didn't make the features with high enough quality in the first place. I don't expect them to 'fix' the butlers, or anything else that isn't a blatant bug. They made them that way, and if you want something else, you need mods. I couldn't play the game as is without mods. I feel for simmers that don't want to use as many of them for that reason.
