Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!
SimDebster:
No, both are in Room Only mode. I had even changed it to radial mode to see if that would help, but it did not. For some reason, the controller wants to send everyone to the master bath. And it continued doing this even after moving the toilet paper to the far end of the bath (must have been a fluke the first time). It is not like there are no other bathrooms in the house, either. I had built another one on the same floor, and there are two more in the basement, but the controller seems to just love the master bathroom. I got so frustrated with it that I just removed it entirely from the master bath. Now, the four kids have to be sent elsewhere, the controller has no other choice. Just seemed easier to deal with scheduling the parents manually than try to monitor 4 kids each morning.

How are you sending them to the bathroom?
SimDebster:
The Sleep Clock automatically appends the action when the kids are sent to bed. In the morning, one kid will be in the kid's bathroom, while the other kids will stand outside the master bedroom (I use Inge's locked door so they cannot get in) with a picture of the shower in the master bath. If I cancel the shower, the controller puts the same shower back in the queue. This continues to happen even when the other kid vacates the kid's bathroom. It seems like it gets stuck in the mode of sending to the master bath. I end up having to cancel the action altogether, then click on a toilet paper in another bathroom and choose 'Be Used.'
The master bath and the kid's bath are at a right angle to each other with a kid's bedroom door between them. The third bath that I added to that floor is down the end of the hall, which the controller is finally using since I removed the controller in the master bath.

I just wanted to say that this works flawlessly for me. I downloaded it initially because I got a complaint that my sonic shower didn't work right with it(twas because I renamed the 'Interaction - Take Shower' BHAV), but changed it so it would be compatible.

Locking bathrooms and Bathroom Uses You do not mix. The intent of the controller is to handle bathroom management for you! Not so you can mess with it more! It is obvious you don't have enough bandwidth to handle the morning rush. Either unlock the other bathroom so your sims can actually use it, or install more of them. There's kind of a hurry, after all, you have to get them out the door in the hour you have between waking up and when the bus leaves.

That would place it further away than than the other bathroom. Bathroom Uses you chooses the closest bathroom, because, well, closer is better.
