Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!

<< < (60/124) > >>

Avalikia:
When I started using this mod, I also started using the "Vanishing Room" method that AncientSim mentioned in one of her posts.  Then I make dorms with regular doors, but use the OFB locks to mark the rooms that my playables are using for household only so that the dormies have to use other beds.  I've had no problems with dormies not being able to find a bed to sleep on using this method.

RainbowTigress:
The dormies have beds in their rooms.  I don't understand why they don't use them.  :(

dizzy:
Maxis disables the objects in a dormie's room. This makes it more of a "dorm" experience for the player, but it also means that the FBA() for dormies is essentially broken. So, by design, Maxis really cannot rely on the motive values of dormies nor can dormies behave in the normal way a sim would.

A more sophisticated approach would have been to make dormie objects simply disappear (like the Social Bunny) and allow the dorm controller a little more leeway for directing things like doing assignments, assigning bed ownership, etc.

RainbowTigress:
Thanks for explaining that, dizzy.  I think I'll just leave out nouniprotect for now.  I don't play dorms that much anyway.

Avalikia:
I suppose I should have explained myself more.  What I meant to say is that the dormies won't find their beds because they don't recognise the fact that there is a bed in their room when it vanishes.  That's why I was talking about the vanishing room thing, because it neatly lets you get around that problem.
