Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!

Lately, in houses with more than one bathroom (with a BYU controller in each accordingly) there continues to be an issue with the second ones that were built. Namely, sims unable to use the first bathroom (due to occupancy or because they're closer to the second one upon receiving the order to use a bathroom) get stuck inside the second bathroom when they're finished. The BYU icon reappears in their queue again and again - and they won't leave the room making it inaccessible to other sims. <snip>
Yeah, about this... I've started having the stuck in second toilet problem since installing the patch. This is the first time I can recall having buy toilets on different levels, but yep, guaranteed one of the toilets is going to have stuck sim syndrome. As I haven't had this problem on lots with all bathrooms on a single level yet, I'm off to test how broken this is.

This issue was not observed when I was still playing it, so I'm not entirely sure what triggers it. Provide screenshot of offending configuration and I will pass the issue on.

That's a real pain in the arse thing to ask because it flashes between "use" and "evict" fast enough to make an epileptic nervous, so what you're going to get is a screencap of a very confused victorian pleasure sim & the smear where the flashies are going on, or a clear shot of either action in queue, depending on how my computer is feeling at the moment. But since I am about to go to the place where the madness happens anyway, you'll get your damn pic. Eventually.
Or quickly. Well it happened again, and so rather than making you sit through the three pics I took (& 45 sim minutes of being stuck in the loo) I figure I can just post the one that shows what's really going on. I had to be damn quick to get it, but I did.
J. M. Pescado:
Well, looking over that picture, several things strike me: First, that is a nonstandard terlet. It is not known whether it will function correctly under BUY.
Second, I cannot see the other bathroom, nor can I see the door to this terlet. Try to get a more overhead shot so I can see the layout which is apparently triggering this.

It happened in every conceivable configuration of toilet & bathtub I could put in there. I eventually went with that one because it has worked elsewhere.
In a different neighbourhood with the same toilets I didn't have this problem. I was going to say presumably because they were all on the same level, but not so. This problem only began after I installed the pets game patch. It could be the toilet. It could be stusimity. It could be magic voodoo brokeness of the highly unstable patch. I've tried moving the toilet, moving the bathtub, removing the bathtub, putting the toilet in an entirely different section of house with nothing in there except the toilet, the bog roll & a light. I'm pretty certain I've tried every combination possible here.
For the record, buy worked perfectly fine with this toilet before the patch. I'm so certain this is a patch problem, I'm going to try it with every damn toilet I have in my game, just to see what the problem is.
Right now I don't think an aerial shot is going to be of much use to you except in seeing how I gut out & redecorate lots for victorian aesthetics. But I will keep you updated.
::UPDATE:: Well, it's still happening with the cheapest toilet in the game. I'd take pictures but frankly my wrists are starting to hurt, so any further gaming is out for the night.
