Disabling Seasions But Keeping its Stuff - Want to disable weather or make plants in season year-round? You can do so with my new Seasons Tuner Mod
Improving Sims 4: The past month, I've spent every day tinkering The Sims 4, making quality of life improvements, gameplay changes, and new difficulty settings for the game. If you'd like to learn more about my project, visit the post on Patreon where you can download it now.
The infamous Potty Mouth 2.0 was released with The Sims 4 City Living Expansion
The Sims team have always had a sense of humor, so it came as no surprise when they included a talking toilet in The Sims 4 City Living Expansion Pack. Since this versatile object might go overlooked unless you stumble upon it in one of the expensive apartments in San Myshuno, or you live in a rural area and are not aware that city folk have access to this technology, let's look at some of its useful features. That way your Sims can perhaps make a new friend whilst getting their behind cleaned.
The Potty Mouth 2.0 will set you back 2,000 and some privacy
The Potty Mouth 2.0 talking toilet is found along with the other toilets in buy mode's bathroom area in Objects by Room. You'll pay $2,000 Simoleons for this high-tech crapper. For handy Sims with enough money, it is definitely worth the cost. It comes with a trusty reliability rating of 8, though it can certainly be made to be unbreakable and self-cleaning through handiness upgrades. However it features some nice abilities, particularly when placed in the loo of a loner Sim who doesn't get out much to socialize. Clicking the toilet and selecting Control Panel > Special Effects, you can elect to turn on or off the toilet's bidet show (which makes it behave a bit like a fountain occasionally) and the light show that makes the back glow with LED lights.
First, given the name, you can of course talk to this toilet. As you do so, you will notice the toilet appears in the relationship panel as an acquaintance. You can indeed befriend it, or perhaps verbally abuse it and make your own toilet your worst enemy. Under the Control Panel menu you get when clicking the Potty Mouth, you can change the A.I. voice from male to female at will. You know, in case one is somehow more comfortable to you, given there is an arguably sentient being in the most intimate room of the house, which the NSA has likely compromised.
When talking to the toilet actively, after you've picked friendly chit chat, you can select other options such as 'tell a joke' which bring up some funny dialogues. This is perhaps where the toilet gets its name, given the poop and crapper jokes you'll see in the notification area. Telling a joke won't raise the Comedy skill, which may be a bug, but talking to the toilet does raise Charisma and recovers the Social Need.
Getting a massage while on the toilet is one option, particularly good for athletic types. Other Sims might want to watch some TV or get their bums cleaned!
Potty Mouth 2.0 features three use modes in addition to the normal one. As you converse with it and select 'Use and ?' you will unlock them and discover its capabilities. Each Use command adds an additional, minor feature that occurs while your Sim is on the toilet, but only one can be picked at a time. You should eventually unlock the following:
Explore My Mods! Color Picker for Builders, Seasons Tuner, Dine Out Reloaded and a Gameplay Overhaul! Like other modders, I've been working to make The Sims 4 a better game. Check out my many mods here!
Watching holographic video while on the toilet. The Sims Studio are clearly made of dreamers.
This situationally useful feature cannot be used in combination with Massage or Sanitize commands. From the Control Panel to the Hologram Display menu, you can pick four different programs that will be displayed on the Potty Mouth 2.0 hologram display. This feature is perhaps a bit more true to life than your average Sims toilet usage, not that I've ever used a tablet to browse reddit while on the toilet. In all seriousness, on tough days Sims seriously needed something to do. It's not like they can read the backs of mouthwash bottles or magazines so in a way this is more realistic. I've gone off track but whatever you pick, selecting Use and Watch will always make your Sim watch that program. The default setting seems to be News:
One handiness upgrade sends out a pulse that wipes out any nearby puddles.
With the Handiness skill, the Potty Mouth 2.0 can gain four upgrades. Most require electronic in addition to common and plumbing upgrade parts - they're some of the most expensive in the game, though it's not too big a hit to the budget.

It can be fixed though by closing (and saving) your game and go in back again.
My sims just got this toilet. When they first got it, the light was blue, but then turned to green for some reason? What does that mean? I didn't change any of the settings or the toilet color.
