My Sim's Butler *served* TV dinners for dinner...
Alex:
The Butler has maxed out Cooking skill points, so why he's burning practically everything is quite a mystery.
But having to be served microwavable meals? How lazy can you get?

Is there a microwave in the kitchen where TV dinners and/or Ramen is being served?
Not in my sim's house; he cooked them up in the oven.

I think it's becuause he was so sloppy. When I made him selectable, I noticed his maxed cooking (and cleaning and mechanical). But I have observed that messy sims are far more likely to burn food than neat sims with the same cooking skill (even if they're in a good mood). I keep reading online that cooking and mechanical are unneffected by personality, but in my expirence, both are better suited to neat sims. I dont' know if they actually learn the skills faster, but they certainly seem to have far less failed attempts when actaully practicing the skills.

For those of us who use the empty templates and no respawn hacks, you need to watch it making an NPC selectable. If you do that for long enough and the game requires the type of NPC on the lot, it will spawn a new one while the old one is selected. I found this out with one of the BV hotel maids. I selected her just long enough to give her a command and get her to start to do some, you know, actual work for her living when the game spawned a new one. I can't have had her selected for more than 10-15 seconds.
I have the no towning respawning hack, but I don't have the one for npcs at present. By the way, I *hate* those freaking hotel maids. Is there *any* way short of making them selectable and actually telling them to clean to get them to freaking *clean*? It sucks bad enough that you can't leave the lot and have to watch them clean, but staying in my hotel all day watching the hotel maid *not* clean is beyond maddening. >:(

I had the butler do this as well; slightly worryingly one of the served trays was invisible. I didn't realise it was there until Nina sat down and autonomously started eating it..! I've not had it happen again since, visible or not.

The butlers do this to me, too. Lazy jerks!
Add me to the plays-in-debug-mode club.

Wow. Invisible TV tray. Wonder if it would have also had invisible flies/green stench had it sat uneaten... Then you'd have bottomed out enviro score for that room and no idea why.
But really, if I had a real life buttler who tried to serve TV dinners, I'd laugh in his face and tell him to do the job I was paying him for if he expected to keep getting paid. I can stick a freaking TV dinner in the microwave myself, thank you very much.
