I've noticed a bug that popped up recently with the steel bladder perk changes in the Awesome mod, I only noticed it after installing Pets a while ago.
Sims with a steel bladder only partially fulfill their bladder need when you tell them to go. It'll fill the bar up around 1/4 of the way, then they'll stop. You have to tell a Sim with a steel bladder to use the toilet 3 or 4 times for them to max out the bladder need. Sims without a steel bladder however always max out their bladder motive the first time they use a toilet.
Also this is probably related, but I noticed a sim without a steel bladder fills their bladder need 2300+ an hour when using the toilet (according to the numbers you see when hovering over the motive bar), but a sim with a Steel Bladder only fills their bladder need 560+ a hour. Perhaps this is part of the problem, if a sim only uses the toilet long enough to fulfill the bladder need for a sim without a steel bladder, even though sims with steel bladders take longer to fill their bladder motive bar.
I've been running in to this as well.Sims with a steel bladder only partially fulfill their bladder need when you tell them to go. It'll fill the bar up around 1/4 of the way, then they'll stop.

Running a newly downloaded Awesomemod(downloaded today) and have tested with an unplayed Sim(a different household).
Obviously, having the motiveperkrebalance option turned off doesn't let you test the bladder discharge rate of steel bladder Sims since their bladder motive never decays, but with it on I can confirm ShadowLiberal's experience regarding the Sim's changed discharge rate versus when they don't. As would be expected, Sims without the perk appear unaffected either way.
Why do they keep pinching it off?! I only do it when I don't have any other choice!
