Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!
jsalemi:
And if you have OFB you can keep them out of the bathrooms with BUY in the first place by locking the door to only allow household members to use the room.

Is there any way to override the 'kicking out' behavior when visiting sims try to take a bath/shower? I use Squinge's community lot sleeping and visitors can use tubs/showers hacks to enable the creation of a home business hotel/bed & breakfast, but BUY keeps kicking my guests out, making them leave when their hygiene goes red. I want to keep BUY in the bathroom so that my family sims can/will use it too. Seems to me that if BUY isn't set to block visitors from using the other facilities, it shouldn't block them from using tubs & showers either, right?
Visitors are not specifically kicked out for that, but some visitors are not allowed to use showers, probably to discourage sims from visiting your sims just to use their showers. BUY tests for this condition. Sims are not permited to use bathroom equipment autonomously without BUY's control, since that would cause a traffic jam.

Well, I am having no problems in dorms now since I reduced the number of toilets and showers to 2 per bathroom. I also have extra showers in a different room for each gender. Working perfectly now. It worked with 3 toilets and one shower in the bathroom, but that is not enough for all those stinky dormies.
Pescado, which visitors are not allowed? Is it at all based on their sloppy/neat level, hygene level, and what is available (shower, tub, or combo) based on these things?

It's based on a bit set invisibly in the "visitor greet state" flags. Sims which are set to the "sleep over" state can use it, sims which have not are disallowed (and if the bathroom controller were to try to push them to do it, it would just hang). What exactly causes this to be set, other than the obvious case, is a great mystery, as some places sims seem to do it, and other places they don't.
Nec:
OK, that makes sense, and would explain why that was happening.
Also, after much experimentation today with dorms, bathrooms, and their configuration, I seem to have found a winner. Someone else has probably figured this out already, but maybe not. I now have one stall and one shower in a single room, one BUY in each. Each door (not each BUY) is gender specific. I leave the toilet paper at the default setting. The best thing about it is that it takes up the same amount of space as a bathroom you would normally make for a dorm. Here's a link to a pic if you are interested. This has been working flawlessly so far.
