Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!

I don't use custom showers, but I have had visitors get stuck in the bathroom when they are too stinky. They try to use the shower but can't, and if they are tired enough, they will fall asleep standing up because they are trying to use the shower and can't. Like Swiftgold, though, making them selectable allows them to go ahead and shower so they will then free up the bathroom.
That bug should be fixed, possibly in the current version, definitely in the test build.

Another funny thing happens on dates at home that is rather annoying. If the sim initiating the date uses the bathroom, the date controller keeps directing the sim to follow them, so it makes them go into the bathroom with them, but then the bathroom controller throws them out. This happens constantly, over and over, until the sim finishes everything, which can take awhile sometimes.
Well, what would you propose as an alternative? For your date to jam up the bathroom indefinitely, probably stopping your sim from getting in and out of the terlet and shower? I think that's more a date controller issue which makes your date STALK YOUR SIM INTO THE BATHROOM IN A HIGHLY DISTURBING AND CREEPY MANNER. And it's right and proper that the bathroom controller tosses her back out. Over and over again.

Yes, it is creepy, although funny in a way. I would rather prefer the date to sit outside quietly and wait like someone with some upbringing. Maybe that's their problem, no home training? Why don't bathroom doors have locks on them?? That's what I always do.

The kicker being that the bathroom "privacy lock" does not function if A: The other sim enters before the throne is claimed, or B: The sims are in love with each other, which bypasses the privacy shoo. Thus, that sim will continue to stalk into the bathroom, and, of course, be thrown out by the bathroom controller because the bathroom is in use and the other sim doesn't need it.

I just tried this out for the first time and wow I just can't believe i was such an IDIOT as to not use it. Now my question i have my bathroom built with 8 toilets and 8 communal showers. The showers are all along the wall in the main room and the toilets are each in their own 2x1 room with a archway on their doorway. How many bathroom controllers should i install?
My houses consist of normally 4-6+ people if that matters (due to kids, parents and grandparents). I did a brief test with a controller for each toilet set to radius 10 using 3 sims in the bathroom at the one time and it seemed to work okay. There was a slight thing with the toilet but immediately after finding it occupied they were designated to a free one.
RainbowTigress:
You need a controller for each toilet. For communal type bathrooms, the stall toilets work best because if you wall them off, each one is considered a different room. If the toilets, sinks, and showers are in the same room, you don't need to use the radius, just leave it set for Room Only, which is the default. You'd only need to set the radius if you have the toilet and shower in separate room. I try to avoid doing this, especially in college dorms, because it can cause problems with sending the females to the male toilets and vice versa.
