Infinite butlers

Twallan's MasterController has an option to reset a lot. I had a problem with sims "sticking" to a lot (congregating and then just standing there until they died, literally) and resetting the lot worked.
Alternatively, have you tried a "resetsim *" to reset the whole hood?
Resetting the sim made no change, and neither did resetting the lot, for they're all spawning outside of it (although i did try). I've actually dropped a meteor on them, but it fell on the furthermost edge of the lot, or, more precisely, it's radius ended just a step away from the butlers.

Soon they all started puking and peeing all over the place and stressing out.
You have no idea how much i laughed at this.
Unfortunately, I refuse to load up a previous save because I have that horrible feeling that there's still hope for this one.
Thanks anyway.

Did you specifically try "ResetSim *"? I'm not suggesting resetting the affected Sim, but all Sims in the hood, which would hopefully include all those butlers. If that is what you did, then I'm stumped.
necromunchy:
Indeed, I have, Starler, and, as well as yourself, I am very surprised.
Here's an update on this issue; after finally managing to socialize with one of them, requesting a massage, I have nuked him.
This action caused all of the other butlers to disappear from the mentioned spot and start arriving by infinite cars.
I'm just going to start a new game and leave this until somebody finds a solution.
If there is one.
PA:
Master Controller has a Total Annihilation option. Nuking just deletes the objects; Total Annihilation vaporizes the Sim. Maybe you can cull the herd then fire the last butler standing?
Or you can set them all on fire. It wouldn't solve the problem but it would be fun.
necromunchy:
Thank you, PA, for your reply.
Here's the thing, as long as the butler is being called, they will keep arriving.
Now, without deleting the sim that made the call (tried resetting numerous times), i can't really influence this action.
And there's nothing wrong with this sim (if leave out the whole butler apocalypse attached to her), so it would be a shame to delete her.
This also might be informative.
Setting the hoard on fire resulted in fire on the edge of the lot, which caught up on a tree and eventually the house. The fire alarm went off quickly, but, the firemen didn't seem interested. After a certain amount of time, the active sim phoned the fire department and, after the usual notification, a great big bunch of nothing came to the rescue.
In the meantime, butlers kept arriving.
Possible npc issue in general?
