Goofball revamped trait is allowing my sim to prank his own toilet autonomously. Why is this a thing? Who pranks their own toilets? Help me make it stop! I'll use mods, cheats, anything! It happens constantly and canceling the action doesn't help. He will just do it again soon enough.

Yeah, it was one of the changes in the patch. There is a way to get rid of it with MCCC mod tuning options. There is a thread on it with more info here: https://forums.thesims.com/en_us/discussion/988216/goofball-trait#latest

This is why I use mods...You should be able to get rid of it with MC Command Center, MC Tuner, if the interaction shows up as an autonomous action.

I will never understand the tuning in this game, the scale seems to be 0 or 10 without any numbers in the middle and it just becomes annoying really quickly. :'(

I wonder if tuning them to only prank toilets outside of their home lot is possible.

My Goofball Sim who lives alone kept pranking her toilet, and I was like, Elya girl you are just playing yourself. And of course she has the nerve to get uncomfortable because of her filthy surroundings. She never pranked any of the toilets when she went out to community lots, I also noticed. So, I'm not really sure....the point.

Because Sims like doing their own potty humor too. Nice that they have that option.

I agree that they should make it so that Goofball Sims remember that they use toilets too and that pranking themselves is not really fun. Programming-wise, at least one toilet should be excluded from the pranking, which is, if possible, the closest to their assigned room or bed. I don't support it only happening on commercial lots or other residentials. It's also fun seeing their own family members get pranked, lol.

An 'erratic' 'goofball' would probably prank their own toilet. And simultaneously be angry and laughing at the same time...

Oh come on, that's just goofballs being goofballs. Personally, I like cutting my own brake lines before driving to work. Boy is the look on my face priceless when I stomp on the brake pedal trying to stop at that intersection. It's a riot!
