Default The Housekeeper and The Chef, et all
Can not go without giving you some feedback and more praise for your mod(s). First thanks so much for updating.
At first I felt sorry for the Housekeeper..thought she might be too much of an "object" rather than a Sim. Same for the Chef. Well, I feel sorry no more. Here's what I've observed over the course of a Sim Season of playing them:

HOUSEKEEPER
The housekeeper likes the hot tub
Will take care of Pets AND Strays (I have 5 stray cats and 5 stray dogs) (I do have Cyberbob's MAID/Butler will feed clean pets in)
Also brushes the Horse
You can take him/her to a venue for some fun
You can ask to join video games, chess, Trivia Challenges, etc.
They will sit once in awhile
Does a good job cleaning up
Uses her Smartphone

THE CHEF:
You still need the Service Room light BUT The Chef leaves around 11-12PM and Returns at 6-6:30 AM. I am assuming he is out having a good time.
He will go to the Service area when not busy BUT Also Will: do everything the Housekeeper can do except I have not seen him take care of pets or use the hot tub. He joined the family at the park the other day and loves video games.

I am playing with these two in my game along with the Butler (I've disabled his cooking) and a maid comes daily. Had to fire her as she was spending too much time in the Hot Tub with the Housekeeper. Rehired another one. The same one showed up so we'll see what happens this time. When I started the test game the Original Butler left the first day. I used TA to get rid of him, hired another and he's been with the family for the Season.

I also have The Gardner Service and the two Gardeners continue to show up daily.

Between the servants, a Family of 9 Sims, 2 are preggers, all their company, and the animals this has been amusing.

Thank you again for these awesome mods!

Unfortunately, this isn't working in my game. I've tried three different "hires" and although the chefs go to the service room off the kitchen, they never cook anything autonomously and when prompted to make a meal, they just stand in the service room. The housekeeper works brilliantly, but the chef...not so much for me.

check if you have any other tunning mod that changes the hottub, because the object doesn't advertise tasks for maid.

you need to remove the "Cyberbob's MAID/Butler will feed clean pets"

That's not my fault, because the game adds these interactions. if you don't like it, you don't need to use them.

can you describe which chair?

I guess, it's a feature from University.

Actually that is normal. I implemented it because people were reporting that the game or the nrass - overwatch has been constantly removing the npc because it's considered 'stationary sim'.

You can disable the cleaning tasks through configuration interaction.

Service npcs are still considered townies. when requested, they will eventually visit some lots.

you need to patch your basegame.

Hello douglasveiga.. Thank your for addressing each item but I sure hope you did not take my post as a complaint. I LOVE the way this is working in my game and only wanted to share how well it's all working together. I am now able to have a house full of servants, including EA's Maid and Butler and they're not bumping into one another and have had no other problems. Everything they are doing is something I want to see them doing or be able to do via an option and if I've wanted to change any of the "tasks" have been able to do so using a configuration option. This has been a totally amusing way to play a large wealthy family, with all kinds of animals in a huge house with lots of family members. Sooo, again, thank you once again for your mods.

btw: The chair she sits in once in awhile is the couch where she once joined for a video game.
The last quote was in reference to the instance where the Housekeeper likes the hot tub EA's maid has often decided to join her in there. The reference to the Butler was I disabled his autonomous cooking so he would not interfere with the Chef and will focus on other "chores" around the house.

Hi douglasviega!
Thank you for putting your time into making this (free) very cool mod!
Do you think this mod is ever going to work in community lots as well in the future?
I have always hoped that I could make a Teppanyaki restaurant community Lot in my Sims world one day.

Cool! I changed my computer back to factory settings months ago because of some virus.... All my sims stuff was gone when I re downloaded it. I started again and downloaded skins clothes hair (packs). I put them on my game. When I played there was lots of lag, I moved the mods into another folder. My game was fine. If I add the mods in after I make my sim will it lag?
