Where do you store your butlers?

When I have a Butler, they are given their own suite. Bedroom, sitting area/ensuite. I lock the door for everyone but the Butler, too, to give this vital employee some privacy. Haven't had one in a long time, though. Jamison was a Toddler when Miha passed away and the family decided to fly on their own ever since.

I think I've only had one butler in game. He had a bed, bath, and sitting room in the basement.

On the main floor right next to the nursery

The only butler room I have in my game is a nicely done bedroom in the basement near the nectar cellar and museum dungeon. Has en suite bathroom and TV and apart from not having any windows it's clean and comfortable. The other option would have been a room in the tower, but it would be much smaller and have a bunk bed instead of a double bed and no en-suite bathroom.

My Sims' butler has a normal room near the other bedrooms (so not in the basement). I didn't put much thought into it, but she's a great butler so I may need to fix it up a bit. I wouldn't put my butler in the basement. :/

Unless the house is large enough, all spare rooms end up in an attic space or basement. This includes butlers and grandparents.

The Fengs in my San Myshuno game are the only family I've really played with a butler.

Butler's room in the penthouse

It's just off the kitchen. One of those doors on the left leads to a bathroom, the other to the butler's room

Before the penthouse, they were in their original apartment. I made a butler bedroom by taking some space away from the enormous first-floor bathroom and the enormous kitchen. I don't have pictures, but it was close to both the kitchen and the front door.

I don't often use basements as living space.

The last time I had a family with a butler, she had small studio apartment on the second floor of the mansion. It had a kitchen and an exterior entrance in addition to access to the main house through the laundry room. For the curious, that mansion is in my catalogue (Sapphire Shores Mansion 2).

I’ve “stored” (lol) my butler in the basement more times than not. My most recent butler, employed by Malcolm Landgraab, got a spare bedroom next to the laundry room so that worked out better. Then he won the lottery and I figured he probably wouldn’t continue on as butler, so I moved him out. It’s too bad, too, because he was a really great butler.

I usually store them at the back of the pantry near the canned goods. But the only one currently in my game works for the Garcia-Perez family and has a bedroom with en suite bathroom on the first floor of the house, it’s a decently sized room but I need to redecorate it at some point.
