Butler, from now on you shall never cook again!

[sydney511]

I don't have this problem at all! My butler only cooks when he is asked too, which is very kind of him since it's kinda rude for somebody to randomly use $70 to make lobster. He cleans up anything that is left. (I swear, I left out a dirty dish while he was relaxing in the hot tub. He immediately got out and washed it. I made my simmie give him a hug since he is so great. I feel kinda bad for him, though. When there is nothing to do, he just walks around, sitting down, getting back up, sitting down again, and follows that sequence. I have a bookshelf just for him in his cozy room, but he doesn't use it. He doesn't want to make a mess by taking out a book. Poor guy.

My Sim's  butler only cooks if asked too.  He spends his spare time  making drinks and drinking them. He's always first at the bar when My Sim makes drinks too.

Awesome! I want an alcoholic butler!

Does the walk-in fridge come with a stuff pack or expansion pack, or is this something that we can build on our own with selves and the like.  Also can we do a pantry in the same way, im wondering if the sims would utilise it at all.

No idea what a pantry is but the walk-in fridge function you can pretty much do yourself without the need of any stuff nor expansion pack. You do it just like I've mentioned in the first post.

When I built up walls and a door for my kitchen I got the regular options about locking the door, no option for the butler. Now about the walk in fridge is it just done by putting a fridge in a locked room, because I can't seem the find the post detailing how it is done. A pantry Leto, is a cupboard where dried and/or canned foods are kept, cereals and the like.

It is just done by putting a fridge in a locked room.    Butlers weren't exactly supposed to be locked out of the kitchens when they first came out, so you won't get the option to lock the door against them, but there is an option, which locks the door to everyone but your household. I don't think anyone other than your household would need to have access to the fridge anyway.

Oh thanks Roxanne for clarifying, it makes sense now *slaps forehead*

I should have mentioned in my first post, shouldn't I? Thought it was obvious as it was.
Anyway, yeah, all you need to do is locking that door to anyone except your family and you're done.
Unles some update spoiled this but Im not aware of that as installing new updates fail in my game, for whatever reason.

I hired my first butler a while ago. All he ever did was sit his rump into practically every chair in the house, and occasonally read a book.

Oh, and he fought and scared off a burglar, too. But not before she got away with my Extravagator 5000.

I had a butler who only cooked when my sim's hunger level reached 2h left. Otherwise he spent the rest of the time holding the baby.

I guess they really difer from game to game, not from sim to sim.

Maybe; but, the best one was in Bridgeport (Bertram Puckett). He did everything just right, except for flirting with the wife (though, if I recall, she started it).

Yeah well, woman...
You may want to save that city into a separate save file for you know: if you need some of your sims in Bridget one day you know that at least the butler is good.
You may want to check out his traits though, with a cheat, to see if you need to remove the Flirt trait in case it's present and you want it changed.

I should have saved him to the library. I can't remember if he had the flirt trait. He did have family oriented, natural cook and I forget the others. His sign was compatible with my sim. He was her best friend, until she got married. He and the husband did not get along. He left one day and she saw him occasionally in the park.

The other butler in Bridgeport, that was lazy was the female (Camille Fortenscu). She was flirty, and since the husband was too, my sim caught them getting too close and threw them both out.
