Meditations on the Bathroom Controller
notovny:
I've been using the Bathroom Controller for awhile, and noticed that one of my Sims, Maria Roomies actually gained a Logic Point while sitting on the Pot. Must have been doing the crossword puzzle. Is this something the Bathroom controller automatically does, or was I just lucky? Inquiring minds want to know.
I was throwing a party at the same house and had a neighbor with no Mechanical skill choose to use the toilet.. which was broken. The Bathroom Controller seized her, and made her attempt to fix the toilet, which she tried, failed, and began complaining about how she had to use the bathroom. Intrigued, I let this cycle go on for awhile to see whether she would fix the toilet before she truly had to go.
Ultimately, she wet herself, and then froze in the bathroom; remaining even after the party ended. I had to delete her with move_objects on.
J. M. Pescado:
That's certainly odd. I'm not sure what causes these cases of freezing people mention, but if you could force an error on a frozen sim and attach the log, that might shed some insight. A sim ordinarily SHOULD either be thrown out or made to use the bathroom: THe only reason you'd see any odd cycle is if they were supposed to use it, but for some reason couldn't. I can't imagine why that would happen, though. Any unusual custom toilets?
ZephyrZodiac:
I used to love the "Interesting" toilet for Sims1 (from C&C Enterprise) which increased interest points while using the loo!
Venusy:
The neighbour freezing in the toilet happened to me as well. The toilet was dirty, and quite possibly broken (I hadn't actually checked whether the toilet had been broken, but it was very dirty). As far as I remember, it was the Ingelogical Pay Toilet. When I made the frozen sim selectable, her queue had been wiped, and all her needs were at max, except enviroment. I gave her a "Go Here" command to go out the bathroom, and she unfroze.
Ancient Sim:
I have recently noticed Sims gaining points at odd times. I have had several gaining points the whole time they were asleep. It seems to happen when they have been using the Skillinator, somehow it doesn't quite 'close down'. I stopped one Sim using it as he needed to get ready for work and he carried on gaining skills the whole time he was using the bathroom. As it was a skill he needed for his promotion I was hoping he would carry-on and get it while he was at work, but he didn't. I've also had them carry-on gaining while they were eating. Oh, and I had a kid carry-on gaining body skill after he stopped being taught on the obstacle course. It happens quite a lot in my game now I come to think of it. Not sure whether the points actually count, but if they do I'm not complaining!
