Bathroom Controller: In Soviet Russia, Bathroom Uses You!
Gothic by Night:
I redownloaded the hack. Now, instead of the buy/toilet icon flashing on and off, it's staying their constantly, but the sim is still not using the toilet. The sim is able to be used by the shower correctly when the toilet is removed from the bathroom.
I honestly have no idea how my game has become so borked. What's more worrying is that I have just reinstalled everything and it's still broken. Could their be something corrupt on my CD itself or is there a messed up file lurking somewhere that didn't get removed by the uninstallation?
Also, when you suggest upgrading to a better version, do you mean installing a later expansion pack? I have ofb, but I don't play with it on (hate playing businesses, but my sims always spin up business related wants). I don't have any later expansions due to the SecuROM issue.
J. M. Pescado:
SecuROM doesn't appear until BV, IIRC, so you could install up to BV. Alternatively, Pirate Cat doesn't pay for his downloads. OFB is fine, though. In fact, even if you don't care for actual BUSINESSES, OFB is one of the most stable engine editions when patched, and the ability to buy community lots unlocks a certain amount of ability to tailor them on its own. Terlet thing should be fixed in this version, though.

Chickens, gate, guest, and BUY: I've got a household of eight (2 adult, 2 teen, four children) with one bathroom, thanks to BUY. One of the teens had her boyfriend, a mean sim, come over. The kicky-chickens were, of course, behind a locked gate: I got sick of the gnome-wars.
I had the two teens lined up to use the bathroom, and both popped up the waiting timer. This happens frequently in this house because one of the other family members got snagged before. I didn't think much of it, then after a sim-hour or so realized the teens still hadn't gotten to the bathroom, and no one else was using it. The rest of the family were all lined up skilling on the couch and chairs like good sims. I tried canceling the teens' actions and requeuing them, but that had no effect..
At this point I looked around outside and found mean boyfriend standing in the snow by the locked gate turned blue with blocked path things over his head. He hadn't been the only sim over that day, there'd been two others, and I thought he'd left when they did. I had dad sim tell him to leave and the teens then used the bathroom properly.
The only thing I can think is he'd queued to steal between one and three chickens, then use the bathroom, and couldn't get to the chickens and that locked up the bathroom. (I don't know how to see what visitors are up to without screwing up the families, adding people into wrong households, etc.) Is that what happened? Is that what's supposed to happen? It's a standard expensive maxis object bathroom, so no custom toilets or anything. I know there are custom hair and clothes, and I think maybe a custom wall-cover in that house, along with the lot debugger, clothing changer, and BUY. I have Uni, OFB, and Seasons, and I'm a total noob if that's in any way relevent: I got the game in March, I think it was. I'll have to keep a closer eye on mean sim guests in the future.
