Worried

I haven't had any bladder failures because I won't let it come to that. But I have noticed a lot more instances where they are into the red and still won't go autonomously.

I play autonomy off
so bladder failure isn't too common as I'm always micromanaging

but ive noticed weird and disturbing trend where sims when told to use toilet will not go to toilet and instead go sit on random chairs :fearful:

Use bathroom don't wet the chair gosh :confounded:

i think its probably another weird routing glitch cause i first had it happening in sulani where picnic table is in front of public toilet so they're somehow distracted to sit around table instead but yeah lately its happening all over no chair is safe

Never. Checking my Sims' needs is almost mindless. It's part of my routine.

The last time one of my sims had a bladder failure it was pretty much on me...I forced them to keep doing something else when it was pretty clear it was going to cause a problem. I just didn't want them to waste time going to the bathroom until they finished what they were doing and was hoping they'd still make it (they didn't).

Normally though, I send sims to the bathroom far more often then they need to. As someone who drinks an insane amount of water irl...and thus uses the bathroom pretty much every 2 hours...I tend to have my sims hit up a bathroom every time they walk past one.
I even have the bladder motive modded in my game to decay 20% faster than normal...because I feel like the sims don't need to use the bathroom often enough at default.

I had a Sim pee himself, but it was entirely his fault. Jacob pranked the only toilet in the house, and while it was being repaired, he sat down to play a video game and flirted with Azure. Once the toilet was fixed, he foolishly enthused over identifying the Perch instead of using it. Rohan (whose Bladder need was also in the red zone) made his way to the toilet. Jacob didn't stand a chance.

I noticed this lately too.

Thanks for that. I don't feel so bad. I can't tell you how many of those "Awards" I've won. :open_mouth:

@Stormkeep I generally cheat up their needs. Yeah, I've gotten that bad with Sims4. :* Problem is, I caught her too late. :open_mouth: But I still have to wonder what's up with that? Seven toilets in the house, seven Sims. No Waiting!

The routing certainly has gone very strange. I watched as my Sim walked along the fencing to his house, then turned to walk over to the Sim he was supposed to speak with. :open_mouth: It was on the awkward side.

I normally catch them sooner. I think I may have been focusing on a different Sim at that moment. (I know, I know, there's no excuse …)

None yet. They, so far, have been very good at making a beeline for the nearest bathroom or poohoo bush, depending on their location. There have been occasional close calls when waking up with bladder in red, but so far they've made it.
