"Yay", bug from 2017 still in the game - Talking toilet permabuzz

Yes, I have gone and reported my findings in the open case from 2017: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-CL-Potty-Mouth-Toilet-Humming-Noise-Wont-Stop/m-p/6927689/highlight/false#M68874

However not only am I severely disappointed that a bug that has been around for that long still is open, but I have some findings:

Kids.

It was when a kid used the toilet the problem started. I have played this house with four talking toilets for over a week, IRL time. But as soon as one of the toddlers aged up and used a toilet? Instant permabuzz. Restarting the game, noise gone. Adult using toilet? No issue. Kid using toilet, buzzing starting again.

Long story short I had to delete all talking toilets. It sucks to have to do a normal boring toilet, but I cannot stand the Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz all the time. So, maybe someone should fix this eventually?

  • I thought I was the only one!! I’ve only just noticed it after the February patch when I started playing with sound again and I thought there was something wrong with my save!
  • I got this issue the other month. I too deleted my talking toilet. I hope they fix this in a future patch, because I love the way they made the talking toilet. It's hilarious and kinda creepy at the same time because it watches your sims pee.

    Done some more testing.
    For sure it's only triggered if a child uses the massage function. You can safely use it with a kid if you make sure to not let the child choose the interaction, so you stop it from using the massage function.

    So I have put the toilets back.
  • I only just started getting this bug. Huh. I had no idea it was that old of one.

    Just came here to say, that this happens to me and I no longer use those toilets. Thanks for the tip, I never knew what triggered it!

    Hopefully Maxis will see this and be able to find the glitch that causes the toilet to buzz now that we know it's the kids doing it.
  • I felt this pain with another bug that happened for years!

    Thankfully this bug was solved but I am hoping they will fix the bug you are bothered with soon as sounds like a nightmare!

    Hey there, I know it's an absolute pain when a bug like this sticks around, but unfortunately it really does need to be discussed on AHQ if you're still facing the problem. There's nothing we can really do about it here and all our bug discussion has moved there. I'm going to go ahead and close this off now.
