I must be blessed. I've only had two households in my game who have a butler. I loved my very first butler and was startled when one of my active Sims had the 'seen a ghost' moodlet. Took a bit before I realized the old geezer butler had perished. :open_mouth: His replacement was a female and she's just not as old school as he was. My Sim rarely had to tell the first butler what to do. In the other household, I have made a point to direct my Sims to 'praise' the butler. Mostly, because they keep rolling the whim for such. The kids in this household are just so nice. Well, to be honest most of them have the good trait.
