The butler is more than just a super-maid. This way, he'll immediately respond to any little dirty dish or moldy bathtub that pops up. First of all, he walks over at around 7am and stays until 8pm, even if there is nothing for him to do. That description alone makes him sound no more interesting than the maid, but the butler is so much more than that. Sims can hire a butler to do all those nasty chores they don't want to do themselves.

The butler returns in The Sims 2: Apartment Life. It is one of the few objects to appear in this game, but not in Busin' Out.

He can be used in Get a Life, to help the player complete goals at Reality Bites, or any time the player wishes. He will clean the house, repair broken objects, and very rarely massage other Sims. He can be called out at any time of the day or night. It costs §20 to call him out of his tree dome, where he returns to after he finishes cleaning the house.

If there is a bar in the house, Alfred may be seen taking a swig from it when he has nothing else to do.īutlers are included in The Sims (console).

Alfred may be taken from the DC comics character Alfred Pennyworth, who is Batman's butler.

He will not recognize the Tuscan fridge (La Frigorifero by Belconi) from Makin' Magic.

He cannot be told to prepare a meal unless there is a Maxis refrigerator or grill on the lot.

This doesn't always happen, but players with older computers should be aware of it.

After Superstar was released, there were many reports of the game lagging severely while Alfred was tending plants.

Repairing broken objects and electronics.

Ask./Dismiss Visitors (when there are guests in the house).

The following interactions are available: He will fill pet food bowls, though he will not recognize custom bowls. He will feed the fish in the Poseidon's Adventure Aquarium. He may also call the maid and the gardener, though he will also do cleaning and gardening himself.

If Servo is not present, he will call the repairman as needed. He will activate Servo as needed, but will ignore Bonehilda's closet. He has gray hair, light skin, and appears to be elderly.

His dress consists of a black tuxedo, gray trousers and white gloves. However, his day lasts from approximately 7am to 11pm. The only pre-made butler is Alfred, and he charges §500 for one day. Butlers are first introduced in The Sims: Superstar.
