Butler Problems.. anyone else have one or more of these? «12...Next Go

Jonalin

• The time runs only at normal speed when everyone is asleep or out of the house because the butler is awake (getting too annoying)
• The butler has never gone to sleep (he's been with the family for 3 real life days... since the pack was installed)
• No matter what, the action "assign bed to butler" doesn't work. I can perform the function and it doesn't hold. I do this countless times (as I have been) and it just doesn't work. I've changed beds multiple times with the same result.
• I seem to have a jump bug. They jump away from the table when trying to eat. This doesn't happen every time, but it's happened at least 5x that I'm aware of.

These are just a few of my issues. I wish I knew what was wrong :<

Hello
I am sorry that you are having these issues.
With the resetting issue, other simmers are having issues with their sims sometimes resetting getting a dish of food or eating the food
It would be good to post feedback on this thread on the AHQ EA site that refers to resetting issues

http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/COLLECTION-THREAD-Sims-Resetting/m-p/5029270#M19176

With the other issues, repairing the game may help. To jdo that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder

Thanks Rose I'll try your suggestions when I boot up the game tomorrow

Aren't you in the wrong section SP doesn't equal game pack.

Yes I can't use the fast speeds either when my Sims are at work or school anymore because the Butler is there.

I also experience the jump issue when eating. Figured it was a mod problem but I see its not just me.

I have the same fast speed issue for my sim when she goes to sleep; I can set it for 3x but it's much slower than the in-game superspeed.

Additionally, some really weird goings on... I sacked my original butler as she was insane and a klepto. Ordered another one, had her for a day or so, then went to an event. Came back, and the original butler was there! Anyone else have this happen?

Problem is, there is no section for SP discussion. That's why it is posted here.

Hello
There have been other simmers posting about the return of their original butler after leaving their lot.
I am sorry that you have had this issue occur in your game.

Thanks for sharing @Chazzzy ! Sorry to hear you're having the same problems as me though :<

If they don't fix they butler issue regarding the clock speed, there's no way I'm going to keep one in my house. So far it's been a novelty but it's definitely something I can live without (because the annoyances are outweighing the benefits for me).

@rosemow I'm sad to report that repairing the game did nothing to fix any of the issues :<

Hello
I have posted about your issues on the other thread that you posted on .

SimTrippy

I actually have this issue where my butler just wears normal clothes instead of her butler clothes, but I don't know why. First I thought my butler was just being a bit rebellious since she also didn't clean much anymore, and liked to watch tv a lot, so I sacked her when she also switched to normal clothes & got a new one, who's working fine but also not wearing butler clothes Anyone else had this? Oh, and what I find pretty annoying is that when I hired a butler in another family, I got the same one as in my legacy family. I'm assuming if I had played them, they would've had another one, but I really don't know. By the time I did, I had fired her from the other family and so she was still there. However, my sims had to reintroduce themselves to her .. ?

Hello
If you have cc/mods in your game, move your mods folder to the desktop. Then start the game and test to see if the issue with the clothes is still there.
If the issues still remain, repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

SimTrippy

@rosemow I only have on mod in my game, which adds more club activities (rex something?) - do you think that could interfere with her clothes? It's weird though, because the mod's been in it before and I haven't had this issue til yesterday

Prthaps try removing the mod and test to see if the issue remains. You can rule out mods being the cause of the issue in your game if the clothing issue remains
If it still occurs, try repairing the game and seeing if that may help.
If you continue to have issues, try ressetting the sims 4 folder. Tdo that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or " options " file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder

Hey already reset the game - which solved a couple of other issues I was experiencing. So I'll try to see if it's the mod or not (I hope not lol). Thanks again!

Jonalin

So I go into the house across the street from my regular sim family (who originally had a female butler) and guess who's there? My butler!

I return home and my maid shows up. However, it's someone completely new than the one I've had since I started playing the family.

None of this makes any sense lol!

I hope so too @teaa5 I was looking forward to this pack but now, sadly, I'm somewhat disappointed.
