Decor with a Purpose: Functional Shower Supplies
Continuing my mission to make decorative items useful, I've made something more custom than just moving some tuning around. Now when a sim is taking a shower or a bath they have an option to use these body wash and soap objects and get a nice little confidence boost!
These are overrides for EA items, giving them custom tuning and adding those that weren't already in the Bathroom Accents category to it. It shouldn't conflict with anything unless you have something else that happens to modify these objects specifically, but please let me know if you have any problems with it.
There is also a non-override version available in case you have a conflicting override mod. This should not conflict with anything but you should choose one version. You gain nothing by installing both override and non-override versions.
- Basegame Shower Caddy*
- Basegame Toiletries*
- Basegame Masculine Toiletries*
- Spa Day Soap Dish
- ADDON: Snowy Escape Soap Dispenser
*These objects have bonus functionality if you have Functional Lotion installed
Update 3/27/22:
- Fixed a bug where the override shower caddy no longer had the soap option after my retail fix.
- Added the retail fix to the non-override version of the shower caddy because I guess I missed that before.
- I just realized that I was inconsistent with my versioning. I usually start numbering addons separately but I forgot this time and skipped 1.7.1 for the main mod. Sorry.
When a sim is taking a shower or a bath they now have an option to use these objects. It won't add any extra animations on top of the shower or bath animations, but when the progress circle finishes they will get a custom buff based on the toothbrushing buff.
It's also worth noting that the new strings are in English, French, and Russian only at the moment. I don't speak any languages other than English nearly well enough to translate them so I welcome any translations that anyone can offer and will credit all translators.
Addon
- If you have Snowy Escape you can use the SE addon object. There are two versions of the object, override and non-override, and you should choose one. If you are using my Hand Soap mod (coming soon) you should use the non-override version (NO) to avoid a conflict but otherwise you can use whichever you prefer.
- The new name for this object is in English only for now.
Hidden tags:
- Ilex: In all languages you should be able to find these objects by searching "Ilex" (that's an uppercase i at the beginning)
- Soap: In English you can search for "Soap" to find these objects as well.
Known issues
- Kids seem to be weird about hopping out of and back into the shower when you use this. It still works, but it looks stupid. Baths seem to work fine for them though. I need to actually look into a solution but I haven't gotten around to it.
Future plans
- Adding this sort of functionality to showers and tubs that have built-in clutter. It's not as simple as I'd hoped so that's a future thing.
- If you know of an item I missed let me know
