Why won't they shower?
nightwand:
I've tried doing a bunch of searches, but if this has been addressed I can't find it. So, here goes.
I've been trying to build a health club. I'm thinking about having my Athletic Sim buy it and run it as a post-retirement business, but it's just a regular community lot for now. I put in a pool, some exercise machines, etc.
It all works pretty well except none of the visiting Sims will use the showers. They work out until they go into Hygiene failure and then sprint off the lot. I've tried calling them off the equipment before they hit failure, and they just wander around stinking. I started out with the communal shower set up from University. Then, in case they didn't like that, I put in separate rooms with the top end shower stall. Nothing.
I know the showers work because a playable will use them when told to do so. I can't recall if a playable ever used them autonomously.
I'm running on the OFB engine with NL and Uni installed.
Anybody know why the filthy little things won't hit the showers?
talysman:
Hmmm. I have same setup (except for OFB,) and I built a gym on a regular community lot once, but I don't recall ever seeing townies shower autonomously. I'm not even sure I've seen dormies shower in Maxis-built Uni gyms, only in dorms, and only if it's their dorm. Maybe they just won't.
I have one custom-built Uni dorm for my current neighborhood, so I'll check that out tomorrow and let you know if I can duplicate that.

It's due to the way showering works. EAxis didn't want sims to autonomously go around showering at other people's houses, so visiting sims are disallowed in most specific cases from using the shower. If you make them selectable, you'll never see it, because the process of making them selectable short-circuits that part of the test. So basically, they will exercise until they become stinky, then leave.
cyperangel:
And even using BUY wont fix that?

I have a hack called public plumbing that lets townie sims shower on community lots, I picked it up of MTS2.
