Sculpting — Show me the Money

I think Chris has been feeling a little flat lately.

In my practice run for the Da Vinci Challenge, I have discovered another benefit to sculpting:  your sim can make bathroom fixtures that - as far as I have observed to date - never need cleaning and never break down.  The sink has been in use for some time and has never needs cleaning.  The toilet is relatively new, but after one of the sims uses it, sometimes I see the bubbles that denote an item is cleaning itself.  Fixtures that are self-cleaning and unbreakable without upgrades!  Love it!

Nice find!!!

Also, don't let them use an ice toilet -- they get a negative moodlet from sitting on ice.  But it's still pretty funny.

What's the moodlet called?  Cold bum?

Haha, something like that!  Not too sure... that game file has long since been bugged-up and subsequently deleted.  They'll get it from sitting on anything made of ice, doesn't have to be on their bare skin.

My sculptor made a toilet, but they couldn't use it.  At the time, I remember someone saying that you could use them, in this game he can't.  It just says no interaction.

Could it be the quality of it, or the materials?

Salty, try moving the toilet to a different wall in a different room. Maybe it's some weird pathing issue.

I tried moving it around to different areas, it is clay, so not sure if that makes a difference.  Everything else they sculpt works fine.  I am loving the sculpting of furniture, heck, I just love the sculpting period. lol

For what it's worth, the self-cleaning toilet my sims have is made of wood and it works just fine!

That person could be me. Maybe it depends on some things. I don't know what exactly otherwise I already have said you that, but I remember my sim could use the toilet only to use it, not to upgrade it with auto cleaning or unbreakable. It could be that those options are available to when your sim has made more of those items.
Can't confirm that myself.

I think the reason your sims can't upgrade the toilets or sinks they've made is that those items are already self-cleaning and unbreakable.  The ones my sims were using (until they sold them) never got dirty or broke.

Ah, nice to know! I thought myself it could be because the items needs to be master ones, or how you would call them. But unbreakable by default... that sounds good to me!
