The Sims 4 Vintage Glamour: Twitter Q&A

The Sims Team went on twitter to answer some of the questions about The Sims 4 Vintage Glamour Stuff Pack!

@TheSimCommunity The butler is a new NPC that comes as part of #TheSims4 Vintage Glamour Stuff.

@TheSimCommunity That’s fake.

.@AhmedKallala Butlers are random – male/female, adult/elder. You can always fire them and hire a new one if they aren’t meeting your needs.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@AhmedKallala The vanity is perfect for changing your makeup temporarily for a special occasion. You don’t have to go back into CAS.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@IamNea @Rudy8292 Butlers certainly appreciate it if you assign them a bed. Much more comfortable than napping on the sofa.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@IamNea @Rudy8292 There’s also special door lock settings for butlers should you choose to give them private accommodations in your home.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@LurdesBETTERB Vintage Glamour is actually styled around golden era Hollywood with a few modern touches. Think ’30s through ’50s.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@KrissieY1997 Butlers are really efficient when left on their own to tend to the home, but you can interrupt them with specific orders.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@KrissieY1997 Butlers will act as gardeners, they aren’t mixologists but you can ask them to make you a drink, and they aren’t masseuses.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@PattonKieran Naturally. Kids can order their butler around, as well as playing with the Vanity Table and the Globe Bar in Vintage Glamour.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@HazzaPlumbob Praise your Butler and they’ll work faster for the day. Criticize them and they may sabotage an object in your home to break.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@HazzaPlumbob Being mean to your butler to the point of a terrible relationship? They’ll outright quit – they have their dignity after all.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@IamNea It’s come up in discussion before, but no short term plans for their inclusion.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

A fun aspect of Butlers is discovering what traits they have. I once got one who was Mean, Hates Children, & a Kleptomaniac. Promptly fired.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@Sims_Soul Wouldn’t surprise me, nothing specific to share about it currently though.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@Weealbet The Windenburg Butlering Academy guarantees they come highly trained in every skill necessary to carry out their job effectively.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@Vane_Sims Butlers live in your household – be sure to assign them a bed upon arrival; they’ll appreciate it.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@Weealbet They carry out some, but not all of the Nanny’s services. I don’t believe they’ll assist with homework.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@AhmedKallala Butlers can be set to answer the door and invite visitors in, they can dismiss all visitors, or they can ignore visitors.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@Liipemnl We’ll share more info on what’s being added to the Holiday Celebration Pack soon 🙂

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@Stepherrr425 Nope, butlers won’t count against a spot in your household.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@MissCJSimmers The butler you’re assigned is random, but you can always fire them and hire a different one if you’d like.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@Vane_Sims Spot on. Certain outfit changes will remove vanity makeup, so it’ll go away after doing things like showering or sleeping.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@Vane_Sims But, you could apply makeup using the vanity and then switch from say… Everyday to Formal clothes, and the makeup will remain.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@PetarC123 They sure can. Good reason to get to know your Butler… You may want to fire them and then hire a different one.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@Weealbet @Vane_Sims There’s no interaction to just remove vanity makeup – it’s always via outfit change. Should be easy to mod honestly.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@pascalio5 @Weealbet @Vane_Sims That’s what I’m saying – there’s no interaction to just remove it, it happens via various outfit changes.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@crinrict Yup, Vintage Glamour is the same standard Stuff Pack price as the others.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@LuckyLunayre @AhmedKallala They sure can – no gender restrictions for using the vanity table.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@Cameron_PooPoo Kids use the vanity to play with makeup, to varying degrees of success. They aren’t carefully selecting makeup like adults.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@AhmedKallala You use the vanity to wear different makeup temporarily – say for a special occasion. Enter CAS to make permanent changes.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@catloverplayer No new radio station in Vintage Glamour, but has anyone mentioned the new “TV Classics” TV channel? …oh, I just did!

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

@SocialZyact They live with your household full time, and certainly appreciate if you assign them their own bed.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 29, 2016

.@Triskyyy No new messes, the Butler is there to make your life simpler (…at a price) and free up more time for your Sims.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 30, 2016

@AvaFitz_ No new makeup; our CAS selections for the pack were made before we knew what the new game play would be. New accessories though!

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 30, 2016

@TheNUBalicious Butlers don’t count against the 8 Sim household limit. You don’t directly control them; they’re an NPC that lives with you.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 30, 2016

@LuckyLunayre To be clear, multiple households can all hire their own butler. When you switch between families they’ll still have a butler.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 30, 2016

@Nate3300Simmer I don’t recall exactly. I think they’re around $2000 a week. They’re definitely for well-to-do families.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 30, 2016

@Nate3300Simmer Butlers serve the same general purpose, but they aren’t simply a mirror of how they behaved/interacted in Sims 3.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 30, 2016

@SebbyFuqua Vintage Glamour doesn’t make any changes to Nanny behavior.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 30, 2016

.@Nate3300Simmer Sims ring the bell when they use interactions to ask their butler to do something specific; it isn’t a separate object.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 30, 2016

.@Nate3300Simmer The bell is a matter of convenience – your Sims don’t have to walk to the butler, or wait for the butler to come to them.

— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) November 30, 2016

.@Nate3300Simmer Of course, there’s nothing more snobbish than ringing the bell when your butler is standing right next to you…
