Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!
Magicmoon:
Free will is on. Seek is not. With the exception of the girl doing the homework everyone was runnng around doing whatever they wanted. Since downloading the latest 2.51, everyone is being called to the bathroom with very green bladders. I had a party awhile ago and it called almost all the sims at once. I had a line a mile long! (There were 8 sims + 6 visitors-only 2 sims were not called and they were at the 50% mark while the others that were called were above 50%)
The sim that gets called to the bathroom while in orange or red will be the sims that have been sleeping, but not until they actually wake. Everyone that is awake keeps getting called frequently. Much, much more than in any previous version.
Umm...I forgot to check before I left the game, but I believe that you have to turn seek on. I just left them at default when I replaced the rolls.
I tried to take a picture of what was happening with the girl doing homework, but I don't know how to get the picture to show her queue and status bars.

I wonder if there's something else that is affecting the BUY. I wonder if it would help to remove all the macrotastics stuff except the BUY and see if the same thing occurs? Or, in fact, to remove all hacks except the BUY.
Everything was working fine until I updated to 2.50. That's when it began. Then when I updated to 2.51 it got much worse. I have not changed any mods since then with the exception of updating macrotastics.

Well, I rolled back to the 28/5 which was the earliest one I still had, but the problems are exactly the same. And the most annoying thing is, you have a sim who needs to go to work in half an hour, and the kids, (it's a Saturday) all go and join the queue, when they really do not need to go! and you have to mess about cancelling the action to get dad back in the BR! And then the BUY queues the kids up yet again!

Magicmoon: To get the queue and status bars and such to show in a picture, you'd need to take a screenshot by pressing Print Screen, which copies your screen image to the Windows clipboard. Then you can paste it into any graphics program, such as MS Paint or Photoshop, and save it to a file.

Thanks Rainbow. I didn't even know that button did anything on my keyboard. I've never used it before.

As far as I can tell, it's not BUY that's doing the constant usage, it's your sims choosing to do it on their own, for lack of you giving them something better to do? I am consistently unable to reproduce this effect. But try this new update, I tried adding a few more restrictions to it.
