Bartender

Bartender is a type of NPC in The Sims 2. The base game included bartenders as service NPCs that could be hired to tend a bar on a residential lot by using the Services menu on a telephone. University introduced a second type of bartender that appears when a bar is placed on a community lot. If Open for Business is installed, these bartenders will only appear if the bar is on an unowned community lot.

Sims can form relationships with both types of bartender. However, FreeTime changed telephones so that the base game bartenders will not appear in a Sim's phone directory. Both types of bartender can be asked to move in, or can be married. If that happens, the game will generate a replacement.
