Never fear Cyberus, something is in the works, I am sure.  Folks here are chatting and waiting for 'it' to appear or be announced, whatever that may be.

Incidentally, you know the fountains in Uni?  Well, I have seen everything from Plaza-style dancing waters to bird baths that use the fountain animations.  Currently, of course, these items are only available for those who have the EP.  Everytime I see a plumbing fixture go berzerk, I think what a waste of good animation.   

It opens a wormhole to P3W-451

True, but I thought it would help at least, because I feel like veilchen said above, students living in a dorm shouldn't have to pay to get their toilets fixed or spend their time unclogging them.

In case anyone is interested, Morague just made a "No Clog Toilets in Dorms Mod" over at VS.  You can find it here:

I'll second that "please do"!!! 

Yes, please do

As for the other toilet, I sure hope that someone with meshing talents will volunteer soon. That I've got to see.

I actually have just such a hack. And I've had it for some time. I didn't figure anyone would actually want it, though. I figured that was just a me-peeve. Probably because MY TOILET NEVER JAMS and could pass a utility pole.

Speaking of which, anyone wanna mesh my toilet, so you can all buy the Pescado Toilet for your sims? You, too, can have a chunky, ugly toilet that could flush a dismembered human corpse and is nigh-indestructible to anything short of explosives or antitank weaponry.

The clog, and the leaking  plumbing showers/tubs are the simulator sign that you have to replace them. Not only them, but the whole furniture.

If you don't have enough money for that (why are you given the "motherlode" cheat, for god's sake?), it will continue on and on - I remember a review with Wright on TS1, and he said that the strive for being rich has it's revenge, when objects stop functioning.

My strategy is: check the trash compactor - when it's price reaches 150$ (it won't go down anymore), once replace the kitchen and the showers furniture, and the second time - the whole house furniture. I always replace the whole furniture, including floors, walls, doors, and windows.

When the simulator "senses" this, all the leaks and clogs stop, and the only warning I get is - when checking the toilet or the shower, even when the maid works, they have to be cleaned. That's all.

Besides, one of my pleasures of the game is - redecorating the house, each time with different furniture....

All houses can be salvaged intact with no risk, provided you remove all sims (and possibly all tombstones). They can even be salvaged intact with all furnishings, if you kill all of the inhabitants or are especially adept at manipulating the lot file backups. As you plan on destroying the original neighborhood, the former method is considerably easier. Kill everyone, destroy all the tombstones, and you have a clean lot.

Yes!!  I have had enough with overflowing toilets!

The toilets and the other plumbing objects are driving me insane. I've even had the same toilet clog up three times in a row. If my plumbing behaved this way in real life, I'd slap my plumber silly. Thank goodness for the macrotastic feature "repair". It does not however, save me from cringeing everytime I hear the "something spazzed" sound in the game.
