Hmm, *nods* I get all the dlc so I can answer guide questions. I am glad that I purchased it though as the new beds are welcome. We had such a ridiculous lack of beds for so long! Generally I find that I like the stuff packs, this time around the butler is actually a pretty good NPC and is easily directed and manipulated.
I had to lock the butler out of my sims office as he was nicking all my sims career rewards which was annoying me (in a funny way). Now I have placed small items everywhere so the butler can swipe away to his hearts content. lol. He even swipes the food he cooks for my sims. He is also ambitious so when my sim yells at him for stealing I get the message that the butler wants to try harder to live up to my sims expectations.
This is becoming such a dysfunctional sims family. I love it, jealous spouse, klepto butler, flirty friends. The drama is real!
