Apartment Life: Question about butlers

[strangetomato]

Based on the information in my Prima guide (yeah, I know... not exactly the gospel according to Sim), sim butlers are supposed to act as nannies, but mine doesn't seem to have received that memo. Circe hired a butler and he did nothing at all with little Vali. Now, it's not a good idea to mess around with Circe, so there's a chance that Loki's (very angry) ghost might "accidentally" scare that poor butler to death, but that's not the point of my story. I want the butler to work as he's supposed to.

The butler does not act as a nanny and he also cancels the nanny's services, and then quits for the night at 8:00 pm, leaving the poor kid for the social worker (Circe does late nights at the hospital). Not cool. Has anyone else played around with butlers or read anything about this? Is it a bug or am I just missing something? I did some searching, but found no answers. I suppose I could just tell him not to cancel the other service sims, but that's missing the point of the all-purpose butler, isn't it?

ACR is "Autonomous Casual Romance", and can potentially cause hilarious havoc with Sims that have bolts for each other. It caused Lola Curious and Kristen Loste (two of the Singles girls from the Bin in Strangetown) to become romantically involved, much to my surprise! I removed it after in favor of the Casual Romance mod instead--too much trouble for me. But it was wacky random fun for the while it was in.

You can find ACR here: http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php/topic,19.0.html and the Casual Romance mod here: http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php/topic,6.0.html
