Default Editing macrotastics - no bathroom breaks?
I'd like to edit macrotastics so there are no more bathroom or cooking breaks (or other motive-breaks for that matter) when taking care of the garden, for example. I find it annoying how they go peeing all of the time, especially since they do it when their bladder motives aren't even half-empty. And when they get hungry, they go to the fridge to "make many..." Like, I didn't ask for this! I'm capable of taking care of my sims myself! I just use macrotastics for the convenient cleaning and gardening options and such, I don't need it to take care of their needs for me, that's just annoying. :P

However, I have no idea how to do it. XD Is it safe to just delete this BHAV "CT - Bathroom Break", and will that accomplish the desired result?

In my experience, no, just deleting a BHAV doesn't work. It would just break it.
I don't use this mod, but I have looked at it and other Pescado mods like it. If I remember right, it has constants in the BCONs that tell the game how low to let the motives go before something else happens, like them taking a break, for example. I would say, the easiest thing is likely to be to change the motive constants to something much lower so they will be closer to failure before taking a break than whatever level you are seeing now that seems too frequent to you.

Haha, okay, thank you! You see, I'm pretty clueless at this stuff. But I seem to have found where to edit it. I guess I'll set it to -95 or something. At that point they should cancel anyway. I'm unsure exactly which BCON it is but I guess I'll just try. At least I'm not deleting anything, haha.

They are constants that are used in the BHAVs, so if Pescado set the lowest bladder to 40% of the total so that the BHAV calls for a break if the need dips below 40%, you might want it to be more like 20%. If you lower it too much, they'll be wetting themselves all the time.

I don't think so, because I will just take care of it myself before then. I don't need the mod to do that for me in the first place.
