Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!
jsalemi:
No, it's still kicking out anyone who's trying to autonomously clean the tub, so that part is still working. I confirmed in another dorm that it kicks out anyone else in the bathroom when someone uses a communal shower. Two sims using stalls at the same time seem to be ok.
Edit: OTOH, it looks like the 'kick sleeping dormies out of the bathroom' code is working fine. I had 2 or 3 dormies pass out in the communal showers, and they all got up moments later and left. Good stuff!

I also would like to know the proper set-up of BUY for that particular Dorm bathroom/shower combo. It's a 3-stall unisex toilet with 2-double showers (one male, one female) in adjacent rooms. You have to go thru the toilet section to get to the showers. I've tried with 1 BUY for each toilet, 1 in each shower room, all set to room radius. Tried with 2 BUY in each shower room. Tried with a 10 radius. I either get only one sim able to use the facilites if in the shower, or multiple sims using the toilets but the females unable to shower. (Had put a BUY in the male shower first, if that makes a difference). I have the showers set to exclude the opposite sex in each section. So far, i've yet to find the perfect set-up.

I don't think such a setup works. If you're makin a Unisex bathroom, where the BUY controllers will thus be in that bathroom, the shower areas must be similarly unisex, especially in radial mode, or the controller will try to punt a sim through an inaccessible door.

A while back I had a lot of trouble working out how to redesign the bathrooms in the Maxis dorms to suit BUY. Moving walls, moving the showers and toilets around, etc. Testing it in play, redesigning again, rinse and repeat. Until the very simple answer occurred to me ... now I just take the wall out so the showers are in the same room as the toilets. Additionally, sometimes the only way to get it to work is to set the bathroom to accept both genders, and replace the gender specific doors with regular doors.

Thank you, that fixed the problem with that particular Maxis dorm, now if i can just stop them from passing out from lack of sleep everywhere. lol. Everytime i send my kids off to Univ, i suddently remember why i hate those dorms and have them move into rental homes of thier own as soon as they have enough money. :)
