Help! Stuck Butler!

[yogibear102]

 Ahem.. Sorry if this is in the wrong section, since I was on the fence whether to put it here or not.

Anyway. My butler, Will Delgado has disappeared. He is still in the relationship panel and stuff, but nowhere to be seen. My sim held an autograph session, and the butler showed up, but didn't return. Since it was on a Friday, I thought Butlers had the weekend off, but now it's Monday and he is not here. I tried to call for another one, but I can't cancel his services like a maid. I have to fire him in person. And since I can't invite him over because he is 'at work', I can't fire him, and stuck with not having a butler.  SOME ONE PLEASE HELP! My sim has eight kids and he can't cook, clean, take care of them, and go to work all by himself!

Try resetting him:

Open cheats — Command-shift-C
return
testingcheatsenabled true
return
resetsim First name Last name (i.e. resetsim Metropolis Man)
return

How did your Sim get 8 kids?

How did your Sim get 8 kids?

Most likely with a mod.

Thanks, Metro, but I tried it and your solution did not seem to work. Maybe I should try to scour the town for him? I recently had a fire, and a notification popped up, saying that the butler called the fire department, but he was nowhere to be found.

Oh, and I meant 6 kids, but it really feels like eight. XD

Okay. I have found a solution. I remember reading in the lessons that butlers will quit if you are not good friends to them. So, I enabled testingcheats, and made the butler an enemy. Then I was free to hire another one! I guess he quit on me!  Yay!

Thanks for your help!

This happened to me too! I had to move the family out, save the house in the bin, bulldoze the original, and set their home up again. It was annoying, and I won't be hiring any butlers until that glitch is fixed.

^Dang when my butler disappeared I just hunted him down, usually the concert hall or the studio which is where the majority of non playing sims flock to.  I find him and fired him TWICE just to make sure. 

Though I do have to ask is it just certain butlers cause I've had Tamalia and shes been great, and is still around.
