Butler questions

It's been a while since Vintage Glamour came out and I haven't seen any info about these:
-Has anyone found a way to change the butler uniform ? Whether simply changing its color or using something else entirely. Changing regular CAS outfits does nothing for a butler work attire. Is there a cheat to edit a sim's career outfit with their id that works for non controlled sims ?
-Is there an invisible trait to make a playable sim act like a butler, bell ringing et all ? Or even a buff like the sims.add_buff NPC_Maid, though I doubt it due to the complex interactions
This is not a jab at current butlers, I like the ones I have, I just want something more experimental now.
Like a vampire Bonehilda behaving like a butler.
-Edit- I just realized Vintage Glamour is a stuff pack not a gamepack, wrong section, woops

I attempted to change my butler clothes through cheat/fullcaseditmode and the only thing that changed where body related things like hair, body, skin, etc. Clothing stayed the same though. As far as playable butler I think that is not possible.
Have to warn you about vampire part, you can't assign a butler a coffin so they will go sleep in bed you 🐸🐸🐸🐸 no matter what. So be really hard to make sure your butler as dark energy replenished. If you plan on having a vampire butler, just a heads up have brought it up a couple times but not sure if we will get an assign coffin for butler in future.
Aw man, thanks for the heads-up. They really missed an oportunity with vampire butlers there.
Yeah that is very big pain for me too, not sure why on earth that happens or why it is not being fixed. Especially frustrating if you got a good friendly relationship going with butler, was lucky with butler traits then all sudden end with a very bad butler with horrible butler traits.
Change their clothing: I think there is a mod for that now at MTS. It's called Hired Help.
Invisible trait: Butlers do have a hidden trait and hidden buff that identifies them as butlers. I don't know how you would add those to regular sims though, or if it would actually make them act like butlers.
Yup, I hate it sooo much and hope it gets patched!
@mebagl15, butlers are actual townies that show up in household management so you could open that and take them to CAS to see their traits. Or do the testingcheats true + cas.fulleditmode then shift + click on your butler to do it from within your lot while they're working. You can change their appearance this way too.
@calaprfy, yes only one butler per household.
You can go to unplayed families and find him/her there.
Thanks a lot for pointing out this mod ! It's gonna help me achieve what I had in mind with other butlers.
Although I was really set on having Bonehilda sleep in a coffin so she's just playable with the maid buff for now. It'll do.

the noncommittal trait does nothing for jealousy, the only trait that does is the "Player" trait which is a reward for completing the serial romantic aspiration. You could either earn the trait or cheat it for yourself, but that would be the only way (besides using mods)

Intoduce the sim to the butler and click on 'get to know'. If the butler has traits like evil, lazy, etc., fir him/her and hire a new one. It usually takes me three or four times before I get an acceptable butler.
No. The butler is technically not part of the family. If you don't like the butler, fire him/her and get a new one. Remember to 'get to know' to see if you like their traits before keeping him/her.
The bell is only a part of the Sim interaction, when you change a setting on the Butler in the Butler tab when you click on said butler. There is no actual bell. Have you tried deleting the butler's household entirely through Manage Worlds, then hire another one? Perhaps trying a brand new butler may fix it. If not, I would suggest to repair your game.
Yes, yes he did.

> Vampire butlers: As long as they don't have the weakness that prevents them sleeping in beds, sleeping in a bed will replenish their energy. I played a vampire butler for awhile and it was fine. You can't control butlers so there really isn't any way that they would have any powers or weaknesses.
