Butler Won't Accept CAS Modification?

fullspiral

I'm playing with my fantasy family for the first time in a long while and decided to give them a butler. Since I wanted him to fit in I changed his looks to suit the family.....but it doesn't show up in game.



This is how he looks in game




I have no idea why it's not taking. The daughter just aged up to a child and I was able to add her "accesories" fine



I'm not sure why the butler isn't accepting his new look....anyone know?

So now the kids went out to the park while the parents stayed home, and the butler is dressed like this and it's not even one of the outfits I used for him in any category!



Is this an issue with butlers?

Butlers won't wear makeup/accessories.

Hello
Are his ears cc ? If they are and are found in the accessory section of cas he will be unable to have them in game.

Okay. Thanks guys. I guess he can't be like the family he works for. But how come he changed his clothes in to something I didn't even dress him in?

The NPC wears the "Situation" outfit (butler clothes).
The situation outfit can't be modified because the game reset it each time.

You must obey to the Maxis rules.

But he's not even wearing his butler clothes any more.

This situation outfit is from Love Festival (random), you must fire him and hire him again.
The situation outfit is set when the NPC start the NPC job.

If the butler doesn't reset the outfit, it's good news that means you can customize it the butler will keep it.

I modified the scumbumbo 's mod (Read the instructions) in order to add the situation outfit : Download my mod here
You will be able to copy, edit in CAS the outfit and overwrite the current situation outfit.

For example :

[Cheatbox] outfit.copy e 1 from gladys morse si 1
Copy Gladys Morse's situation outfit #1 over the current sim's everyday outfit #1

[Cheatbox] outfit.copy e 1 to gladys morse si 1
Copy the current sim's everyday outfit #1 over Gladys Morse's situation outfit #1

Well I think that's just ridiculous. Why would a butler even need a situation outfit other than his butler uniform? And I shouldn't have to fire and hire just to get him back in his butler clothes. I don't think they thought this through very well. If they give us the option to change him in CAS, that should stick in the game whether he's an NPC or not.

He cooks, but doesn't put food away. He's as bad as the caterer.

The butler should not visit the festivals, the other NPC workers don't do it.

I agree. Apparently none of my sims should either if they have a butler, because he was like this once I came back to the home lot after the kids went to the romance festival.
