I have a few problems with my butlers.

[UberDrew]

I've lost several butlers to do to them dying from age related deaths even after I have disabled ageing. I've had butlers randomly get replaced by new butlers and often times when they do the old butler refuses to leave my house and begins to use it freely without regard to my other sims such as using their personal spa area, onsen or swimming pool. Seriously the Devs really need to fix a few things about butlers.

Part of the reason why I never got this pack. Butlers might be fun on The Sims 4, but overall they seem like a downgrade in comparison to The Sims 3 that did not even require a pack to get them. You also have various different options with the door locks as well that perhaps might keep butlers out if their is an option to select which sims are allowed to walk through specified rooms.

Despite the rating of 55% on Steam being higher than various other packs I still do not think that Butlers are as good as they are on The Sims 3 even without me owning that pack. If the Butlers are more of liability than a benefit on The Sims 4 then why use them when at least half the time they do not do what they are supposed to be doing? Plus, I do not remember any butlers dying from old age on The Sims 3 either, but perhaps what you might need to do is turn all butlers into vampires because they can potentially live forever (if you own the vampires game pack that is)! I also sometimes miss the use of maids which contrary to previous SIm games you will not find them on The Sims 4 and instead only get daycare; although, one exception is Bonehilda if you get the Paranormal stuff pack who is perhaps in some ways similar to a maid and especially when considering the fact she is human when bathing makes it appears to suggest that she was murdered in the bathtub and/or cursed as well.

Bonehilda in human form is a beautiful sim model (although, you could also give her a makeover if you do not think that she is pretty enough in human form) and while maids do not relate to butlers my point is that she is the closest thing to being a maid on The Sims 4. Both maids and butlers used be a part of base game, but that all changed first starting with The Sims 4.

EVERY TIME I leave my lot and come back, I have a new Butler. From what I have researched and found from many other people who play Sims 4, this has been an ongoing issue for a few years that the creators obviously have no intention of fixing. I haven't found any responses from the devs.
If you don't assign a bed for the butler, they tend to get over tired and don't work quite as well. However, when I do assign a bed, I get a new butler and have to keep assigning the bed!!! If it weren't for that, I wouldn't care if I constantly had a new Butler. Also, WHY IN THE WORLD DO WE HAVE TO TELL THEM TO GO TO SLEEP???? That's a pain, too! Because, again, if they don't sleep, they don't seem to work well.

I havent ran a butler in quite a while, but at least back when I did run them the reason for them swapping out when i left the lot is the fact the game spawns a new butler for each household with a butler. So if there is only one household in your save and they have never fired their butler then they should always have that butler. The moment you fire them or hire a new butler in another household the game creates a new butler. From that point on when you arrive on a lot which has a hired butler the game will pick from the pool of created butlers.

Maids and Nannys are part of basegame meaning they are freely used as NPC contrary to butlers besides paying them simoleons; although, Vintage Glamour is also quite cheap in comparison to gamepacks and expansion packs. Patchy and Bonehilda could also be available as NPC helpers and it does not cost any simoleons to get help from them, but again similar to butlers they are not part of basegame. While butlers could potentially be useful my personal debate is that they are not really needed either.
