How about this: if we see it, we can try to make a Sim remove it. Heck, make it require handy or mischief skill, if they're too low, they set it off?
Pranked toilets are very annoying with Business and Hobbies.

I wish we could exclude certain toilets from being pranked. That way we could stop sims pranking their toilet when they live alone and will be the only ones using it anyway. Or a sim in a shared house could prank the toilet in the guest bathroom but leave the one in their en-suite alone. - Admiral8Q4 years agoSeasoned AceIs pranking toilets cool?

@GalacticGal, using MCCC you can disable any interaction in the game from autonomous use. To do it, you follow these steps:- Select a Sim and click on them.
- Select "MC Command Center"->"MC Tuner" -> "Enable Autonomy Scanner"
- Click on the object which has the autonomous action which you want to disable.
- Select "Autonomous Scan"
- Find the interaction which you want to disable in the list and click it.
- That's it, you're done.
The trickiest part for some autonomous actions can be identifying which item in the list in step 5 is the one you want to disable because sometimes there is more than one choice with the same description, and only one of them is the one you actually want to disable. In the case of Prank Toilet, however, that's not the case. It only appears in the list once when you click a toilet and that's the one you would want to disable.
When you're done, you also would want to turn off the autonomy scanner, by following steps 1 and 2 above. The autonomy scan is a per-sim function, so you need to have the same sim selected for the whole process and also use the same sim for both enabling and disabling the scanner. The actions which you disable, however, apply to all sims (both played and unplayed).
To reenable something for autonomy which you previously disabled, follow these steps:- Select a Sim and click on them.
- Select "MC Command Center"->"MC Tuner" -> "Restore Autonomy"
- Click the action you want to re-enable in the list of disabled autonomous actions
This was very helpful! I kept looking in the general settings instead of the per-sim ones. - Select a Sim and click on them.

I had 3 people living in one house and then brought in a sim with the Goofball trait. I'd never had a sim with that trait before and thought he'd be playful and fun. Oh, no, instead he spent all his time pranking the toilets - I had 2 bathrooms in this house. Every time I turned around somebody was upset because of the toilet and they were peeing on the floor because there were no working toilets. I had one standing right beside the sim who was repairing the toilet, like she was standing in line. :D This sim used the toilet and then Mr Goofball came in and broke it again. That had to stop, so I changed his traits and now he's much more managable.
OMG! That's my game right now. I have a brother and sister living together and he always pranks the toilet, then gets the bad moodlet when he has to fix it. lol - Admiral8Q4 years agoSeasoned Ace
@lanlyn Yes! Thanks!
Pranking toilets is one of the dumbest things in this game. Especially when every toilet on every lot eventually ends up "pranked".
Of course, one of the dumbest things I've seen is a single Sim pranks their own toilet. No one else in the house, lol! DUH!
Fixes it, then pranks it again, DOUBLE DUH! :flushed:
