Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!
RainbowTigress:
I had this problem too at that dorm. I solved it by removing the archway and leaving a gap in the wall there. I played with different settings and none were satisfactory, except for this one. It's not as pretty but it's functional, and I play with the walls down most of the time anyway.
Grater:
Hey I have a question about logic used to autonomously find a bathroom, it SEEMS that Sims use "as the etheral crow flies" to find the nearest bathroom, so they might decide the bathroom below their feet is closer than the one on the same floor but a few steps away. For this reason I usually build "bathroom stacks" where the toilet is on the same tile on each floor, since doing so I've never had problems with Sims traipsing up and down stairs to use bathrooms.
So uh, the question. Am I being superstitious? (altough I'm sure the plumbers appreciate the toilet stacks :p)
Swiftgold:
One issue I've had with this hack, which otherwise has been very useful, is when someone blocks the dishwasher, which the Sims prefer to use first, then other Sims will take dirty plates to the bathroom sink. I'm playing in the large 16-room dorm in Fiesta Tech with 13 playables and some are quite neat, so they will constantly be taking plates to wash into the bathroom and I can't cancel them out all the time. The controller will inevitably nab them to be used and I'll get a huge stack of stinky plates sitting in the bathroom. This happens of course in houses too. I wish the controller would just let them wash the plates. I've noticed the cafeteria worker can take them in and clean them just fine, likely because he never has to pee?
J. M. Pescado:
I've never seen a problem with washing plates in the bathroom. My sims occasionally try when I tell them to get rid of a plate and the dishwashers are all blocked (which is rare since I tend to install multiple docking ports to avoid this, except in old, cramped houses), and they wash it just fine, then get used after. Have you tried simply telling them to clean up the stack of plates?
RainbowTigress:
I've had this happen too. It may be that you don't see it because you don't have free will enabled. When sims autonomously go into the bathroom for any reason, whether it is to wash a plate or clean the bathtub, they either get used or thrown out. This is why you can direct them to clean up the plates and they will do it. Otherwise, they get thrown out when trying to do so themselves. I too would like it if the controller allowed them to do "cleaning" type activities such as washing plates, mopping the floor, cleaning the tub, etc. without being thrown out. As well as picking up babies that are born in the bathroom. I've had to use moveobjects to move babies out of the bathroom who were born there because even when I've manually told them to pick up the baby or click on the crib for them to put them in, they get thrown out.
