Toilet

A toilet is an object used by Sims to relieve a bladder need.

Toilets are available in buy mode, in the Plumbing and Bathroom section. There will usually be a relatively cheap model and an expensive model, and in The Sims and The Sims 2, the expensive model will also raise Comfort for Sims who sit on it. In addition, there will usually be at least one model of toilet stall for use on community lots, as well as a urinal which can only be used by males. However, urinals were not introduced into The Sims 3 until the Late Night expansion pack.

In The Sims 2, toddlers may splash the water out of a toilet, which can create a mess.

Some toilet facts

 * In The Sims, the expensive model, the Flush Force 5 XLT, automatically flushes after Sims use it. (It is available from More Awesome Than You! as custom content for The Sims 2.)
 * In The Sims and The Sims 2, a toilet stall can be placed on a residential lot, a urinal cannot. Since Sims in toilet stalls are considered to have privacy, they can be a good thing if many Sims are living on a lot with only one bathroom. This changed with The Sims 3, so that Sims could use urinals on residential lots.
 * In The Sims, toilets (except for urinals) require cleaning after each use, though they do not become visibly dirty. Even so, cleaning NPCs such as the maid and community lot janitors will be drawn to clean them, as may very neat Sims.
 * This was changed in The Sims 2: even an extremely neat Sim will not see the "Clean" interaction unless a toilet has been used several times since it was last cleaned.
 * In The Sims, unflushed toilets could be cleaned without being flushed first. This was changed in The Sims 2: even very sloppy Sims will flush a toilet (if necessary) before cleaning it.
 * Sims will usually shoo other Sims when a toilet is used. However, in The Sims and The Sims 2, they will not shoo other Sims they have a crush or love relationship with.

The House Party Potty Pack
This was originally an official download made to recognize the popularity of The Sims: House Party. Its contents were included in Hot Date and all later expansion packs.

The Sims 2
All toilets in The Sims 2 have a Fun rating of 2, which applies when toddlers play in them. If The Sims 2: Pets is installed, cats can be trained to use toilets.

The Sims Castaway Stories
In The Sims Castaway Stories, along with regular toilets, a new kind was introduced, which can be put outdoors. It is actually just a bundle of bamboo which functions as a toilet.

The Sims Medieval
The Sims Medieval features a chamber pot. Both male and female Sims stand up while using it.

Medieval Sims have no Bladder need, but they get a positive buff from using the chamber pot.

Trivia

 * According to the commemorative book from The Sims 3: Ambitions: Commemorative Edition, the first ever object for The Sims was a toilet, and it was the only object in the prototype that male and female Sims used differently.
 * Males who are teens and above are the only ones who can use the No Hassle Urinal, which was introduced in The Sims 3: Late Night. This is a change from previous games, in which male children could use urinals.
