Great! Maybe I can put it in my bathrooms and stop the Sims washing dishes there. Thank you for something new and different.

Ah, before you misunderstand this -- sims *can* wash dishes in this, that's not removed (you can do that in a bowl too after all). It's just not on the screenshots because there were no dirty dishes around when I made them.

But if would be quite simple to change that .. open the package in s4pe and export the XML, it has a list of available interactions near the end called "super interactions". You'd only need to remove everything dish-related from there, save, re-import into your package and that's it.

This is great for an outdoorsy, camping, or just having for a homeless challenge. I love your imagination and thank you for adding fun things in the game.

For some reason, when I go to place it in the game, the little square and direction pointer show up, but the bowl doesn't drop.

How/where are you trying to place it exactly? It should be placeable like any *medium* sized object (e.g. a large vase), does the object you're putting it on have room for that? Do you get an error message like "Script Call Failed" or anything like that? Have you tried placing it with bb.moveobjects too -- does that make a difference?

Really cool idea, but i'm having issues with it. Whenever i click fro my sims to wash their hands they cant, the X signal shows up like something is in the way but there's nothing. I tried putting it in a counter first and then an end table but nothing changed....help please!!

Check that the footprint is pointing forward -- sims need to be able to access it from the front, like sinks.

It should look like this when you place it:



(In this example, it would work fine too if the arrow would point sideways -- but not when it points to the back, the sim will walk to the next room then just to complain they can't reach through the wall .. )

You can try. Post in Create if you have questions on how to do that.
