Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!

if the shower is in radius of the BUY, they shouldn't be using the shower unless BUY tells them to, in which case it'll kick out other sims wanting to get in the bathroom.
From my experience, other sims intending to use the bathroom (not merely come in to tell jokes) will only be kicked out if the number of sims > number of BUY controllers, when each controller has its own set of devices. If I got right what J.M. said, you have to divide the bathroom into several sections that contain a controller, a toilet stall and a shower, and set the radius within the section to get rid of the shooing, like so:
+++++++++++++
+TCSDTCSDTCS+
+XXXDXXXDXXX+
+DDDDDDDDDD+
+=Wall | T=Toilet | C=BUY Controller | S=Shower | D=Devider | X=empty space; radius set to 1

So by following this, I'll finally get BUY to work correctly in Dorms? Yah! ;D

No. This is a method to stomp the shooing, which shouldn't occur in dorms, as there is only one age class. The easiest way to make it work in dorms is to put an equal number of toilet stalls and showers in the same room and place a BUY controller for each toilet/shower set. I never had problems with that, though I'm usually playing EAxis made dorms with only slight changes.
floopyboo:
Can something be done about plant sims (visiting or resident) getting stuck in a perpetual loop of 'must use shower/must be evicted', please? It's not so much the sims deciding they're dehydrated & need a drink as much as buy seeking an almost, but not quite at half-watered plant sim, yoinking it into the bathroom, only to kick it out/force it to wait.
As much as I am enjoying killing off the plants that annoy me this way, it really isn't their fault, and I'm swiftly running out of sims.
J. M. Pescado:
I am not able to reproduce this behavior. According to the code, Hygiene check will always return true for any plantsim with water less than half. Also, your claims that plantsims can die from this seem manifestly untrue, as plantsims cannot die from motive depletion. More information is required. What kind of sims are doing this, and what do their motives look like when this happens?
