[VGSP] Butler never going to sleep autonomously

I was playing with my royal family when i hired a butler. But at night, even when i already assigned a bed for him, he's NEVER going to bed by himself, making the time not going faster in x3. I always have to click on him, assign a task "going to sleep" because he never does it autonomously. I also tried to re-assigned another bed multiple times. 
I play with mods but i tried with and without, it doesn't change anything (it was a new save from the day royalty and legacy launched). I'm watching let's play on Twitch sometimes and noticed it was happening for others players who don't play with mods.

    This is really frustrating. I just got the pack a couple weeks ago because I really like playing with Get Famous and celebrities, so I thought the butler would be a nice addition. But the butler doesn't go to sleep in their assigned bed (or any bed for that matter). Even if there is a free, unassigned bed, the butler will constantly find a couch to nap on. And when they need to up their fun need, as someone else already said if there's a bar, they constantly drink instead of watching TV or doing anything else for fun. I even set up a special room for the butler and they don't even use the TV or computer in there, even if I have set the computer to only be used by the butler, they won't touch it. It completely breaks the immersion of playing with them in the house. Tested with and without mods, doesn't make a difference. And it seems it's been broken like this for a very long time from what other people have said online.

    Yes, the butler's characteristics and behavior definitely need a general update. Besides sleeping, there's still the problem that if a bar counter is within reach, the butler only seems to be preoccupied with one thing: drinking.

  • That has been an issue since they implemented them. Sometimes I find a butler taking a nap, but never in the bed I assigned to them.
