I purchased the 2nd bathroom renovation yesterday. After it was constructed, I noticed some things (issues?).
1. The family started smelling the blue bedroom connected to the bathroom. Guess that bathroom stinks, huh?
2. None of my characters seem to be able to use the toilet in that bathroom. Even if I drop a character in the area of/directly onto the toilet, they walk all the way to the first bathroom when 'Nature is calling!'
3. Now the toilet is broken in the 2nd bathroom, spurting water everywhere, but no matter how I drop the father character onto that toilet, he does not perform any action with that toilet, just walks away.

The shower and sink in the 2nd bathroom works fine, with characters performing the usual actions when dropped on those areas. It's the toilet that keeps giving me problems, and I have removed all furniture in the blue bedroom that is near the vicinity of the wall between the toilet and bedroom.

Anyone having this problem? Is there supposed to be some sort of puzzle for this toilet?

Have you initiated the correct action to fix the toilet? See this post.

Smelling the room is discussed in this thread.

Since the first bathroom was available (of course) first, many peeps do seem to choose that one first, however, if there is someone already in the first bathroom, they will go to the second one.

One of my own peeps would always go to the second bathroom - they definitely seem to have their own preferences, just like we do!

Hi Heather,
Thanks for your reply. Had forgotten that I could initiate the toilet repair by dropping a peep on the workshop. Anyway, turns out the problem went away when I exited the game to enter this forum!

Will certainly keep it in mind when the toilet breaks again. I guess the 'smelling the room' action is initiated by the 2nd bathroom's existence? Maybe a gopher got into one of the pipes in the bathroom and died in there!

Have a nice day!
