I've been looking for a solution or someone else having the same problem for days now, with no luck. I've just recently installed WA, though I've played it before on a friend's computer. This problem is with older saves as well as completely new games with new sims. Any sims! Whenever they use shower in a can, immediately a "pee himself" interaction appears right after, making the shower useless. It happens with their bladder being perfectly full, it's the shower in a can that causes it, I can't understand why and what do I do to fix it.
I'm pretty sure my game is fully patched, because I reinstalled and patched it before installing WA. Version.tag file says 1.67.2.024001

I've never heard of this bug before. But it could be a patch issue. Several of the older EPs, particularly World Adventures, had their own individual patches not covered by the main game patch level. Thus, though you're patched to 1.67, your recently installed World Adventures probably isn't patched, and may be incompatible.

I'd recommend using the Patch Downloader program available here at MTS.

Ooh, that is one bug I've never heard of before. So, every time they use the shower in a can, regardless of the state of their bladder, they pee themselves?? Are you sure it's really pee, with the funny crossed legs, the red distress pee thought bubble, and the embarrassment and green odor of peeing on yourself, or is the shower in a can just leaving a puddle behind after its use?

I honestly haven't used a shower in a can in years now, so I can't remember if it leaves a watery puddle after use or not. I doubt that it does, but just trying to be sure it really is pee.

I've never heard of this bug either, and I recently played WA and used the shower-in-a-cans, but never encountered such bug. I can't find anything wrong in the code either. FWIW, I used AwesomeMod, and from what I know, it changed some behaviors of the shower-in-a-can

I'm not using AwesomeMod, just NRaas StoryProgression, and I can say with 100% certainty that using shower-in-a-can does NOT leave behind a puddle.

I have no idea whether it leaves a puddle or not, I just noticed that my sims' hygiene is absolute zero right after they use shower in a can, and couldn't figure out why, until I noticed that every single time my sims use shower in a can, the action to pee themselves appears in the queue and I have no way of cancelling it out. So, yes I'm pretty sure it's really pee, and it happens even with full bladder.

Thank you, I'll try!

Do you have any mods?

First time I've heard of this bug. I don't have any mods and just recently took my sims to China for the first time. They used Shower in a can with no "side effects". Hygiene was good. I'll have check again next time I send anyone off to a WA world.

This is actually a feature of awesomemod, though I don't think it should happen every time. As I understand it, there should be a small chance of the can making your sim pee, but for some reason it happens every time. Same problem in my game.

Very helpful. It's happening to me as well and was driving me crazy. I may just uninstall Awesome, but I like so much about it I hate to.

I reported this bug to Pescado and he issued an update that should have fixed it. Update Awesome and you should be alright.

This has already been done, albeit only for males, by SimsMX at simlogical: http://www.simlogical.com/ContentUp...e/uploads/1836/

I don't think so. Sims seem to be unable to distinguish between carpet and lawn and the mod lacks an interaction to housebreak them.

I dunno, if I just hosed myself down with a can full of aerosolized water under pressure which is more than likely freezing fucking cold I'd pee a tiny bit too. Yikes.

EDIT: Full disclosure: I'm a woman. Being soaked through with freezing water makes us need to piss too.
