The Sims 4: Vintage Glamour Stuff Review (Chrisso)

I want to give this one a "mixed" actually, because in theory I like it, in practice it's again full of bugs and shortcomings that I wish would finally be adressed by Maxis.
Of course there's one reason to get the pack, and that's the butler - all the rest is pretty forgettable, although some hairstyles are nice etc.
The butler is - when they work - areal fun addition, I truly enjoyed my first one - until I hired butlers for more households.
The major shortcoming now is that the butlers won't stay - they rotate and your favourite butler might appear one day and then you get butler #2 from that other family. Often the same butler works on two familes at the same time. So setting up your little butler room with a personal bed becomes pointless, you have to reassign the bed all the time. Or alternatively, fire the butler and get a new one - in that case you usually get the one you originally made for the family. Highly annoying, especially when your butler became an integral part of the family or a Sim started romancing one.
The second downer is that assigned butlers only appear for the active household - so if you made a cool creepy vampire butler for the Straud household and hoped to be greeted by him when you visit that house, forget it.
The conclusion is, butlers are fun and if you play a noble household they are the ideal addition when you actively play. But for immersion when your Sim just wants to visit other noble houses... safe your money.
It could've been so much more, if it just worked as expected. I recommend it on sale, if you can live with the shortcomings butlers are fun. If someone knows a mod that fixes them, please hit me up.
