No Bathroom Chat
Every Sims 4 player knows the frustration. Your Sim finishes their business in the bathroom, and instead of leaving, they just stand there. Then another Sim walks in, and suddenly it's a party. The toilet becomes a social hub, and your carefully crafted home feels like a public rest stop. The No Bathroom Chat mod by deadlystingnyc puts an end to this absurd behavior once and for all.
Why Your Sims Need This Mod
Sims have a bizarre tendency to treat the bathroom as a lounge. They finish up, linger near the sink, and before you know it, a neighbor has wandered in to discuss the weather. This mod routes Sims out of the bathroom the moment they are done with the fixtures. No more impromptu conversations next to the toilet. Your Sims will do their business and get out, restoring a sense of privacy and common sense to your game.
How It Works Under the Hood
The mod patches the game's Python scripts directly. When a Sim finishes using a toilet, shower, or sink, the mod instantly cancels any lingering idle behavior and sends them back to the room they were in before. It also cancels any autonomous social interactions that target Sims inside the bathroom. Additionally, the mod blocks those excessive non-hygiene mirror interactions, so your Sims won't obsessively check their reflection for hours. Player-directed interactions are never affected, so you can still have your Erratic Sim flirt with themselves in the mirror whenever you want.
Installation and Compatibility
Installing this mod is straightforward. First, download No Bathroom Chat from the creator's page. You will get a zip file named deadlystingnyc_no_bathroom_chat.zip. Extract it and drop the unzipped folder into your Mods folder, located at Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods/. After that, launch the game, go to Game Options > Other, and make sure Script Mods are enabled. Restart the game, and you are good to go.
This mod is currently TESTED & COMPATIBLE with the August 25th, 2026 Patch (PC/Mac: 1.127.41). It requires only the base game, so no expansion or game packs are needed. Since the mod patches Python directly and has no tuning overrides, conflicts with other mods are unlikely. It is a safe addition to any modded save.
Using the Built-in Troubleshooting Commands
If you want to check the mod's status, open the cheat console with Ctrl+Shift+C and type testingcheats true. Then you can use a few handy commands to monitor what the mod is doing. The nbc_state command shows the mod's current state, including toilet room IDs, zone loads, and eviction counts. The nbc_evict command manually triggers the eviction pass, forcing any lingering Sims out of the bathroom. Finally, nbc_scan lists all toilet objects found on the current lot with their room IDs. These tools are invaluable if you encounter any odd behavior.
