| “‘-Bathroom is completely interactive. Sims can take a shower, a bath, use toilet, take a pregnancy test using the toilet, wash their hand, perform actions using the mirror etc. The appliances in the sims 4 (including toilets, showers, sinks, and bathtubs) will need repair, and the frequency depends on the quality of the item. The sim can either call a plumber or attempt to fix it themselves. The sink, toilet, and shower/tub need cleaning every once in a while. The type of actions a sim can perform depends on their age (ex. toddlers cannot use the toilet, they use a seperate potty) bathrooms are not gendered. in create a sim mode, one can assign a sim a way of peeing. so a female sim can “pee while standing” and vice versa” – The Sims Wiki | “One of a sim’s needs bars is hygene. When the bar is too low, a sim starts to smell bad, affecting, the sims around. That sim must take a shower/bath in order to get clean again.” – Sims Wiki | Children can clean toilets Only male Sims can use a urinal The game is very inclusive but there are still players out there who think EA should “the fix the gender problem” |
