Bartender

Bartender is a type of NPC in The Sims 2, The Sims 3: Late Night and The Sims 4. 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.

The Sims 3: Late Night
Bartenders are known as mixologists in The Sims 3, and were introduced alongside the mixology skill in Late Night. In addition to serving drinks, mixologists are also able to serve food to Sims as well. When somewhere in the world a mixologist bar is presented, one of the random chosen homeless Sims get assigned the role of a mixologist to tend the bar.

The Sims 4
In addition to appearing in community lot bars, bartenders can be hired for use during house parties. There are premade bartenders in the bars of Oasis Springs and Willow Creek.
