Privacy Invaded (aka Bathroom Sharing)

[PeterMcPhallus]

Okay, this has been bugging me for quite a while. I'm trying to figure out how to make family members use toilets and showers at the same time (mainly I'm talking about siblings here, as parents and children doing that is a bit squicky to me, but each to their own, I'm not judging). I found an old mod that is supposed to fix this, but I think it's outdated because it doesn't seem to do a damn thing.

 

Naturism doesn't seem to matter on this either, as Naturist/Exhibitionist skilled sims will do literally everything from grilling burgers in the back yard to jogging around the neighborhood, naked as a jaybird, but try to take a shower or sit on the throne with someone in the room, and they'll completely freak out.

 

Ideally, I'd like to be able to control this using both age and familial relationships as key modifiers. I'm not sure how you would do that. It might be simpler to do it between individual sims using a Relationship Bit or a Flag or something. I could live with that too, since it would be a one-time "set it and forget it" sort of thing. You wouldn't even need to put it in the menus. Just make a command line cheat; "ww.set_no_bathroom_shame <SIM1><SIM2>", or something like that.

 

As it stands, the only way sims will use the facilities without getting one of those stupid 'Privacy' moodlets and chase/be chased out of the bathroom is if they have a sufficiently high Romance level, which you can't get with non-spousal family relationships. I mean, you can cheat up the Romance level (which does fix the whole issue), but then you risk the autonomy suddenly playing that dueling banjos music, and havin' you one of them three-eyed, twelve-fingered young-uns.... Yee-haw!
