Meditations on the Bathroom Controller

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.
I'm not sure how compliant the Ingelogical toilet is with the rest of the toilet standards. Were any diagonal doors involved? Diagonal doors give the game's routing engine fits every so often, especially as it pertains to throwing sims out of rooms.

Not to mention maids entering them in the first place!

I've also had issues with the bathroom controller on occasion if a sim is low in mechanical skill and takes their sweet time trying to unclog a toilet or fix a shower/bath. I get a spawn of "Be Used" icons in the queue. Generally the fix for this is to use the "Go Here" to somewhere outside the bathroom and cancel the "Be Used" icons like mad, and get another high-mechanical sim to fix the relevant item. Wish the toilet and bathroom stuff wouldn't break so damn often.

I suppose someone at Maxis thinks it's funny! But honestly, how often does your loo, (or mine) get clogged? Understandable if no-one ever cleans it, but otherwise, it's just some wierd and very childish Maxian joke! Likewise, although showers are prone to problems, it's really not that often that a washer goes on a bath-tap! On the other hand, the cooker and fridge never go wrong, but that certainly isn't true of RL!

The breaking toilets and showers really piss me off (haha) ... but the stove is another story ... it seems virtually indestructible. The last time mine went up in flames I had to get a new one.
