Default Outhouses in the Native Tribe
Greetings,
Is there a reason I can't use the outhouses in the Native Tribe's area? I can go into them but my sim refuses to use them.

The outhouses are almost always dirty (similar to the public toilets in TS2). If your sim is with high hygiene rate, he will refuse to use them. My sims always wave and yell, when I force them to use the outhouses.

In Story mode, you can send your sim to any house which has a toilet, or order him to swim. In Free Mode, take care that you have at least 2 bathrooms in each community lot.

Ok... in TS2, you could 'force' a Sim to use a public toilet if the Sim really needed to.. I guess you can't (at least in story mode?) on Castaways?

I don't know - my sim never refused - only waved and complained. May be if there is an option in the game panel to turn free will off, it may succeed.

Seems, that your sims are more intelligent and independent than my sims...

I guess so... I really wish I could see what the thought bubble was saying, but I can't because of the bamboo of the hut.

It's just a little annoying when there is no other place to go, so I have to send the sim to another lot.

I wonder if it has anything to do with their personality.

I think that the connection is low, because even a sim with low hygiene points - waves. The reason is, that the outhouses are used by animals too (mostly orangutans).

In the castaway lot (the first one), was only one outhouse; after adopting the orangutan, I sent my sim there, and he waved like mad. So, I replaced it to a new one, and near the bananas I placed another one. The orangutan began to use the close-to-the-bananas outhouse, and my sim - the other one. The sim stopped to wave and complaint.

But you can't do it in the com lots, in Story mode.
