Yeah, because why would anyone want to dump a plastic bag down their toilet? Thanks for making this.

Yay! No more hiking up two floors to empty the potty chair!

I have a mod that allows visitors to empty the potty if they so desire. Do you think that would clash with this mod, because if it doesn't I want this mod, because it's a great idea.

Depends what you changed - I expect you ticked visitors in the TTABwiki - in which case (so long as you didn't put everything else that had no changes in the package too) it won't clash. the button at the bottom of the thread opens up to show you what I changed - and there is nothing else in the package except what I changed.

I didn't change it. It's a mod I got from someone. I will go ahead and download this and see what happens. I'm hoping it will work, because I'd rather not choose. They both are very useful mods. I love those of your mods that I have, so I'm sure if I am able to use this, I will find myself wondering how I ever got along without it.

If it does clash - I can tell you how to fix that mod so that it doesn't anymore if you have even very minor SimPEwiki skills. Drop me a PM if you need to do this.

EDIT: Never heard back if you had a clash - thought I would let you know that one way you could fix the clash if there was one, would be to edit the potty package that allowed visitor emptying and follow the tutorial in the main thread to make that package also do what my package did. If you haven't found that they clash, then no change needed.

I really appreciate the mods you come up with:leftovers-desk finders have been a 'mog' send. Your work always seems to add practicality to the game and I am sure this will too. Thanks.

Could you give a quick tutorial as to what needs to be done to change custom content potties to make them compatible with this mod? Perhaps provide the SimsPE resources that may be needed? I'm willing to do the work myself, just like I did updating CC to Apartment Life.

Yes - I have an e-mail to reply to with the same - just haven't had the chance to grab the screenshot to show the change - I think you are right - I should just post it so everyone can see and save lots of e-mails. As soon as I have done it (will be next week now) then I will post the link back here.

EDIT: I have added the mini-tutorial to the bottom of the main thread - let me know if you have any questions about how to make this change.

This is a cool mod for those with who, for some reason, didn't just make a bathroom that was located right near the nursery/toddler room and put the toddler potty in the bathroom.... (I always make a little bathroom area near as many rooms as possible, even if it's the baby's room. So there will be a bathroom for those that have just finished eating in the kitchen, a "master bathroom", a bathroom nearby for those in the living room that suddenly need to go, and a bathroom near the baby/toddler room for those parents that don't want to wander around just to dump...well, that.)

You are great. Thank you for the tutorial!

Thanks for this! Making my Sims run all over the house to empty potties was getting kinda annoying :P

Hello there! I have found a possible conflict of this mod with TwoJeff's Toddler Potty Fixes, which I find very very useful in my game. Is there anyway to have the two coexist?

Link to TwoJeff's: http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=10.0 [it's at the bottom of the page]

I have all EPs and SPs, and mostly what happens is that your mod is completely ignored by my sims, despite there being a garbage bin right next to the potties. I had noticed that and was puzzled, and finally ran the HackConflictDetection Utility by SimWardrobe, which showed this possible conflict.

Thanks a lot for any help you can give!
