Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!

Thank you all for answering!! Yes, I found it was the Grand Trianon toilet causing this. I thought that I had taken them all out of the game, but then after you mentioned it I checked to find this toilet still in downloads.
Often I click quickly when I know where menu items are normally placed. The only problem the throw-up interaction caused was accidently giving that command instead of use toilet. But the bathroom controller would take over after that and take care of the sim's bathroom need. But it would waste a few minutes which are sometimes critical if the car pool is waiting. Plus who wants to see non-pregnant or non-sick sims do that? And if they were in 2nd trimester they usually have a fear of throwing up so a quick-clicking error would cause their aspiration to plummet.
Thanks again for helping me to narrow down this oddity.
Cool :) glad you got it figured out. Yes, the throwing up thing is not my favorite thing about the game.

Well, if you're using Bathroom Uses You, you never have to click on a terlet anyway. In fact, you really shouldn't, especially in combination with the macro "Use Bathroom" launcher. Although I don't think I even really use that anymore, Power Idle handles that gruntwork for me.

Also - if the carpool is waiting, just send them to work. They will use the toilet there, so it's not like they are going to arrived home and pee themselves. They won't use showers there, but hygiene desperation is a lot less serious then missing the car pool.

I just downloaded the latest version of the BC for NL, but I'm having a problem with some sims getting stuck in the bathroom. They are clean and their bladder is empty, but it seems that it can't throw them out. They just stand there with the BC icon flashing. If I direct them to "Go here" or do something, they will do it. In the case I just witnessed, there were two sims queued up for the bathroom because the other one was in use, and they could not use the bathroom because the first sim was stuck in there. The sim in the bathroom had a bunch of thought bubbles stacked on top of each other, so I couldn't see if something was blocking her, but one had a red X over the face of one of the other sims.

Damn...I mentioned that very same problem in the hacks directory. I've just downloaded all of the relevant updates for macrotastics and bathroom uses you but have yet to test them out.
I was hoping this would fix the problem...have you updated macrotastics too Rainbow?
ETA: I've just done some testing with a 3 sim family. They were cued to use the bathroom and the controller seemed to work fine. I think there was a mention in another thread about incompatibility with one version of macrotastics being used with the bathroom controller, so rainbow check that you have the newest versions of both and hopefully, you're issue will be fixed :)
