Mine actually do work around the house but they dont take care of themselves! Everytime their needs get too low they leave and are replaced with another!! My current butler has been standing in front the dishwasher for the last 7 sim hours rather than sleeping or eating. I know other folks are having similar problems but i just needed to vent.

Hm, I had this before you sign them to take of them selves I found this my child sims told her go to sleep and she went. so you have be one to tell them otherwise they'll be useless.

This should be reported as a bug over on AHQ

I wish they would fix this... mine goes a step farther... they don't leave... they starve to death and die. I have to tell them to sleep too or they fall asleep standing up. I've lost 4 butlers due to this. I've decided until they fix this, I'm not going to have anymore butlers. It's just a waste of simoleons because they don't clean or fix things. They just stand around until they die. :(

I dont seem to have this problem when I do have butlers in my game, I just tend to get stuck with elderly butlers the butler academy send me

Im sure they are supposed to take care of themselves but you do have the option to go order them to sleep.

I think they stopped being able to take care of their own selves when that was added in actually.

Yeah, the original butler bug report thread was closed down and to report any new instances of the bug in new threads.
