Same Butlers everywhere? Why? Let us choose Random or Select a sim.

This is something that just started to happen. The same butler everywhere. I been having butler problems ever since I accidentally moved one into a home. I didn't recognize her out of uniform. I saw a family with a baby that was not homed and so I placed them. Then to my shock it ended up being my favorite butler. I did not realize either that placing her in a home would make her loose her job as a butler. Its so unfair. She had been with this one family since before they had babies. Now I cant get her back there. The game doesn't feel the same without her there. Now I cant get her back. Worst still my game now gives every house hold the same butler. I use to have different butlers. I don't know what happened! Why can't we have to choice to choose "random" (game generated) or "select" (we choose through a list of known sims) for a butler when hiring. Now my games ruined when it comes to the butlers. The game will now not create different butlers and my well formed bond with my current butler is forever lost... I feel like that family has been ruined (as well as the other families who are now stuck sharing one butler) This stinks! In cant find outside souses to fix this either. I tried changing the age of one butler to a teen. Fired that butler and then hired a new one and a new butler came to the house. The I aged the old butler back to an adult switch to a house hold that had the butler I changed from teen back to adult only to find he was no longer there and the game replaced him with the same butler as the other home. I am at a lost.

    Hello
    You could try recovering an earlier version of your current save game to play, that was before you moved the butler into the home. To do that , go to the main screen of sims 4, and click on the " load game " button.Click on your save game file picture. Then click on the " recover game " button down the right hand side bottom of the screen,. Press on an earlier version of the save game from the menu that pops up. Then load that save game version

    With having the same butler in all households, you may like to start a new thread on the AHQ EA site and post feedback there. The issue was listed in a collections thread on butler issues, but crinrict has asked for separate threads to be created for the separate butler issues

    I can try that. I been playing it like that without realizing the consequences for 2 days now. Its too bad too the old butler had a beautiful baby. and her family produce some beautiful offspring too. but It would be better to have my game back. I can always re make babies I think I can upload my new toddlers save them and re apply them later.

    It was a good idea but it didnt save far back enough. Sadly I cant get my family butler back that way.

    its sad. I hate this butler glitch :( at Least I still have my 2nd fav butler at my other sim house. Sadly now he is stuck being everyone's butler. At least he is a good butler. My 1st fav female butler is forever "fired" and no longer a butler. She isn't gone from the game though. Its so weird I didn't recognize her. when I saw her in the bin. Oddly the game had her have a baby. and I didn't even know it. What drew me to the family in the bin was the lady looked really pretty (my butler out of uniform) 2nd she had a baby and there was another really beautiful roommate with them. Its not usual for the game to generate pretty sims. So I moved them in. I played with the character for the longest time all the while never realizing right away that she was my butler. Then I got the phone call from my regular played family... I was like wait when did she become friends with them? Thats when I decided to look at her stats and friends list... then It hit me... my butler. Well I figured cant be too bad right... surely she would still be my butler... but no. I went back to my regularly played family and she was not there. I didnt save my regularly played family. went back to world and tried to put my butler back in the bin where I found her but that didnt work either. So no she can never be my butler again...

    now for the oddest yet coolest part of this whole messed up situation (yet somewhat messed up in its own cool way) when the baby turned to a toddler I was wondering who in the world was the other parent... well turns out the other parent to this unknown to me birth was her now ex boss... yes apparently she had a child with the man of the house she worked for... so maybe it was for the best that she is now not their butler lol... oh and when I entered the lot just now I found her bent over the toilet vomiting... so apparently she is preg again... and guess who's the dad... yes the old boss... I forgot that that Male Sim has quite a list of traits Vampiric Fascination, Romantic, Fertile, Player, Great Kisser and Alluring. Odd results but I'll keep it.

    Doesnt fix the problem with stuck having only one butler or that we cant choose our help but this mistake found in a mistake does make for interesting game play...

    Making a note of being more careful who that vamp woohoos with from now on... he already has 6 kids with his own wife now 1 🐸🐸🐸🐸 child and another on the way... :#>:):D;)

    but if anyone finds a fix for this butler or gardener or Maid issue I would love to know... better yet would be just allowing us to the option of choosing a known sim or choosing pick at random
