Getting the butler to cook

DeadFishy · December 2016

Is this possible??? I can't see it in the pie menu under responsibilities nor when I click on the Butler, fridge or stove.

Same here

Hello
Try looking under the assign tasks section, after clicking on the butler. There should be option to tell the butler to cook.

DeadFishy · December 2016

All I have are assign tasks are make drink, play violin, piano & guitar and then comedy routine.

IceyJ · December 2016

Although cooking is not in the Responsibilities menu, I wish it were. It seems like the butlers will only cook when we tell them to. This is better than them cooking constantly, (*cough* Sims 3 *cough*) but still.

DeadFishy · December 2016

Seriously they can't cook!?? What is even the point?? I'm sure I saw them cooking in the live play??

It should be under Assign Task:

DeadFishy · December 2016

Hmm.. So why don't I have this? Do I need a special fridge?

Check to see if cooking has been turned off in his duties category. If yes, turn it on and try again.

DeadFishy · December 2016

Cooking doesn't appear in his duties. Just gardening, minors, cleaning and fixing. And maybe attending to guests.

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 cooking option is 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.

It looks like butlers are all different, I haven't tried firing and hiring another, but from what I read here everyone has different assign tasks. Mine has attend to kids, play piano, clean, and garden

Maybe you have to get to know he butler b4 he will cook for you...my sim sat down b4 asking him to do anything, maybe that's the key.

StilleWater · December 2016

But the meal he cooked was for one.

Cupid · December 2016

mine has been cooking food nonstop lmao

rjhenn14 · December 2016

I assigned my butler to cook breakfast, but he also automatically cooked lunch/dinner... so I think are able to request it But also he will just cook auto during mealtimes? That's my guess.

rudolpha · December 2016

I've never had to ask mine to cook.

Dannydanbo · December 2016

Try selling your stove and frig and get new ones. Maybe he doesn't like the ones you have.

When you click the butler, is there a little bell in the menu? Cook should be there.

Sounds like a broken mod if you use mods. Check back with the original download page to see if the creator updated. Patches often break mods (and custom content).

There is a bell menu, but only sing, play, make drinks etc in there.

Tried this, still nothing. Going to try and hire some caterers, see if there is the same problem.

I'm having the same problem.

shadownightfire · December 2016

Maybe the problem lies with depending on what your Sims gourmet and cooking skills are? If the level is high perhaps the script in the butler knows you're able to cook a higher quality meal. (May be assuming the script to be too smart) On mine it only shows play piano, make drinks, and break the dance floor or something like that?

luthienrising · December 2016

@DeadFishy @Aeroprincess87 if you have any mods or CC at all, try pulling those out.

DevilNDisguise · December 2016

Strange. My butler won't stop cooking.

It's the family I was playing. Loaded the same save with a different family and the butler worked fine.
