===Issues===

*After ''Superstar'' was released, there were many reports of the game lagging severely while Alfred was tending plants. This doesn't always happen, but players with older computers should be aware of it.

 

===Trivia===

 

==The Sims (console)==

*If ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' or later is installed and a Sim tries to get [[leftover]]s from the fridge, the butler will sometimes "snatch" the food out of the Sim's hand and clean it up. This can also happen with [[Maid]]s. [http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=3547 This mod] prevents Sims from "snatching" food from another Sim's hand.

*If a [[burglar]] dies on the lot and is resurrected (thus making him a part of the household) the butler will still call the police, prompting a fine for the false alarm. This will happen each and every morning the butler comes over.

Butlers will sleep in a Sim's house, so make sure that they have a spare bed! To assign a bed for the butler, click on the desired bed and set it as the butler's bed. The butler has level 10 in both Cooking and Handiness,<ref name="jforum list">http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/75/278851.page</ref> though [[Camilla Fortescue]], one of the pre-made butlers in [[Bridgeport]], does not follow this rule, having a different range of skills. A good relationship must be kept with the butler or they may leave. There are some known glitches with the butler. When arriving at a house, the car they have arrived in often becomes stuck outside the front of the house even when the game is reloaded. At times, they may become invisible, though this is temporary. Butlers must be paid every week.

*The butler references many stereotypes surrounding butlers in popular culture. In one tidbit of advice, the butler will state that "there is an urgent message from the commissioner" before realizing their mistake and state that the message was received on the "wrong frequency". This is a reference to ''Batman'''s Alfred Pennyworth. In another, the butler states that it is not always the butler who "did it"; a reference to a cliché in murder mysteries.

*Common community stories shows that butlers make the game have more drama by flirting with the Sim's family members/household. This is a common problem encountered for married couples which leads to break up the entire family. Firing them is sometimes the solution if the relationship between the Sim's family member and the butler isn't too high enough, another solution that is more manual and needs more reactions from the player is to stop flirting interactions between the two Sims, this one keeps the butler but definitely stop flirts.{{confirm}}

*In ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future|Into the Future]]'', the butler in [[Oasis Landing]] is most likely a [[Plumbot]]. Their Plumbot trait chips can be modified even though they are not part of the player's household. The butler-plumbots come with unique tuxedo-styled body parts, which can only be obtained during normal gameplay by modding them in the Plumbot creation workbench.
