Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!
Myth:
There is one bathroom downstairs pretty much in the center of the floor plan, so he is always near the bathroom. The upstairs bathroom are more above the garage than the central living space so I wouldn't consider him beneath those if that is what you meant.

(I was thinking that if there was a certain percentage of the bladder bar that you set BUY to activate at, maybe that had an issue? :-\)
That percentage is much, much lower than described, and never triggers unless Seek mode is actually on.

Is the sim near the bathroom when it happens? Or directly underneath?
Bathroom Uses You is not location-sensitive.

Nope. Haven't used the power idle on him. He will be doing everyday Sim things; playing chess, talking to another Sim etc. and then run for it. I will play more tonight and see if I can find a common denominator. Since I just recently got this hack I thought it was normal behaviour until I saw PlayLives discussing it.
Yes, but what did you tell them to do that triggered this? None of the Skill or Soc commands should cause this behavior. Are you losing your queue when this happens, or does it insert itself to the end of the queue like when Seek fires?
Myth:
I'll just pay closer attention tonight and see if I can find a trigger.

I realise this, it's just that I wondered, if the sim had no instructions, and was near a bathroom, he might have picked the toilet as his most urgent need, had it been the karaoke machine, then he would no doubt have picked that.

Yep, I was having this very problem a little while ago.
I thought it was fixed with a macrotastics update, but since then (and another macrotastics update) the problem has re-presented itself.
The 'endless loop' that MistyBlue is talking about is that when a sim is being used by the controller, if another sim is queued up by the controller to use the bathroom, after the first sim finishes his 'business' in the bathroom, he becomes 'stuck' and won't be ejected out of the bathroom by the controller and the icon on the screen that represents him being used by the controller, 'flashes' for want of a better word. So what I do to get him out of the bathroom is just press on an empty floor space and tell him to 'go here'.
It is an annoyance, especially if you're not watching at all times and you find sims going into bladder failure due to this problem.
Quoting myself I know but after testing, the problem hasn't rectified itself and remains the same as described above.
Perhaps if MistyBlue and Zephyr Zodiac test and report problem fixed, I might have to look into any un-awesome hacks I have that may be conflicting.
