Bathroom Uses You - Yet Another Interesting Semaphoric Scenario
RainbowTigress:
I have visitors that I have not asked to stay the night, but they get stuck in the bathroom trying to take a shower, but they are too tired and fall asleep standing up. My sims will try to use the bathroom but get thrown out, or else they wring their hands and worry about the sim who's passed out standing up. ???

I've noticed that too. I think it's only sims with high neatness who try to do that. In my game, it's Bella Goth trying to take a shower in every house she's been invited to (matched her genetics+personality closely to Cassandra's, since I don't know what her original genetic and personality points were), and she's always having to do a 'bathroom tango' with Bathroom Uses You.

I noticed that when i have visitors come over, and i propose to them to stay the night, they are not able to use the shower, while the bathroomusesyou object is placed in the bathroom.
They go and stand in front of the shower, take their clothes off then put them on again and leaves the bathroom running... then repeat the process.
Hmm. That's weird. I'll look into that sometime, although this really shouldn't be happening given the way the interaction is wired.....
linolino:
J.M., i think, *think*, this might have something to do with the fact the "Bathroom uses you" hack will make the sims go to the toilet first, then use the shower, But the visitor does not want to use the toilet, only the shower.
so it may be happening some conflict between the classic bathroom-use-method and the "Bathroom Uses You" method

I'm glad to see I'm not the only having some issues with bathroomusesyou. For the most part, like 95% of the time it's fine, but other times it can get a little wiggy. I had something sort of similar happen again to various other problems:
One of my invited sims either magically set himself as a sleepover guest, or probably just got stuck in the bathroom. This was a YA sim, and while he was in the bathroom, I guess he got stuck in some loop or something when I wasn't paying attention and he ended up falling asleep in front of the toilet. The next morning, he woke up starving and then he keeled over in pain and died. ::) Which put a damper on the rest of my sims who were busy skilling and meditating and basically preparing for their day. Now... see, I wouldn't have minded so much if it weren't for the fact that this turned out to be a CAS created sim, which was purposefully created by me based on a high school crush I had. :D As such, I felt compelled to save him, and it was very fortunate that I had managed to become best friends with him the previous day. :P Anyhew, I successfully pleaded for his life *whew* and then yet another odd thing happened... his thumbnail appeared in my UI, as if he should be selectable, but he wasn't. This is similar to when I attempt to use the testingcheatsEnabled cheat to try and make sims selectable. Their thumbnail appears, but they really aren't selectable. I would click on him, and his queue would briefly show up and then disappear, defaulting to the previously selected sim. ??? Regardless, he ended up walking off the lot and presumably went back home.
Yet another issue that I had is with a recent birth in the bathroom as similarly reported in this thread. I've only skimmed it just now... so I guess I will try the Emergency Stop thing, since it turns out that I saved just before the birth and I have been testing out the birth odds/results of twojeffs' trips&quads hack anyways, which I have reported here. I also have both the bathroomusesyou and the baby controller on that lot. I suppose I should have used the Emergency Stop to prevent the baby pick up attempt and bathroom kick out dash loop, but I also didn't think of that. I did try to manually direct the mother to pick the baby up, but she was still kicked out. Okay... I just read further on and I saw that Emergency Stop did not help, which is just as I suspected, since manually directing the sim to pick the baby up also did not help. I shall read further on before I hit post... ok, nothing else shed any further light on the situation. I suppose I will just have to turn the Seek off when the birthing occurs next time I play this lot.
