Purple smoke coming from the toilet in The Sims 4 is an unusual event. The strange smoke often comes out of the toilet seat even if the toilet is clean. If you click on it, nothing happens. Let’s shed some light on that mysterious purple smoke that got so many gamers confused.
Why is the toilet bubbling with purple smoke in Sims 4?
Purple smoke coming from the toilet indicates someone sabotaged it. Sims with the Goofball trait often sabotage toilets autonomously as a prank. After it’s been sabotaged, the toilet shoots up toilet water onto the next Sim that uses it or simply explodes. As a result, their hygiene level instantly goes to zero. So, if you see purple smoke coming from the toilet, don’t use it.
If you don’t use it, it won’t explode and make a mess, it’s as simple as that. The best solution is to simply replace the toilet when someone pranks it.
Many users thought the purple smoke was a spectre. Well, even if you have the Paranormal expansion pack installed and your house is haunted, spectres won’t invade the toilet. They’ve got better places to haunt than the toilet seat.
It’s a common mischief activity
Public toilets often get sabotaged, so these events are quite common on public lots. It’s a common mischief activity that became more frequent ever since the trait update that let Goofy Sims autonomously prank toilets. Many of you may not like this change but that’s how things are now.
Why do my Sims keep pranking the toilet?
Sims with the Goofball trait will prank toilets autonomously. They often prank their own toilets. It doesn’t matter if they’re the only one’s living in the house. They will sabotage their own toilet and don’t seem to care they’re going to play the prank on themselves. Surprisingly, they also get angry when the toilet shoots up water on them or explodes. It seems they completely forget they pranked their own toilet.
And now you know!
