Do you want your Sims to finish shower more quickly, even if they're using cheaper showers?
Tired of using same old expensive shower and tubs for higher hygiene and comfort rating?
This mod will raise hygiene and comfort ratings of all Maxis showers and tubs up to Seasons to match the most expensive one of each kind.
("Coloratura" for showers, "Colonial Bathtub" / "Simple Tub from Krampft Industries" for tubs, "Colonial ComboCleen" for showertub)
This mod comes in 2 flavors. Use ONLY ONE flavor at a time for each shower/tub.
- Standard version: Price is the same as original.
- Price-Adjusted version: Price was raised to match the most expensive one of each kind.


This mod will conflict with any other similar mods that raise hygiene/comfort ratings for Maxis showers and tubs.
This mod does not affect custom showers or tubs. If you want to raise motives of custom objects, you must edit BCON values of your custom objects with SimPE on your own. Changing motives in Object Data is purely cosmetic and will NOT change real motive ratings.
You can extract BCONs from my mod and replace corresponding BCONs in custom objects. Make sure to select the correct type of mod to extract BCONs from.

DO NOT put in your Downloads folder. If you do, Maxis showers and tubs will bear annoying custom star, and the delete button will be enabled in the catalog.
Instead of Downloads folder, make a subfolder in the following location and put the files there.
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 [Your Latest EP]\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins
(or the corresponding folder on your system if your game is not installed in C:\Program Files)
If your latest EP is Mansion & Garden Stuff, the location will be like this.
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Stuff\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins
Changelog:
v1.0: Initial release.
v1.01: Added Base Game compatible version. (2008/07/30)

About Me
I have my own section at MATY now. Visit DarcyLand for some more goodies that are not available in MTS2.
Check this MATY thread for AL compatibility of my hacks. All my mods are now confirmed to be compatible with AL, or updated to AL.
Recently I'm getting a lot of PMs asking how to update various custom objects like fridges or computers up to FreeTime.
I wrote a tutorial for updating custom fridges and computers to FreeTime. For other types of objects, go read this MATY thread where a lot of information is gathered. A similar thread for AL is here.
==============================================================================
Basically, you can do whatever you want with my creations, as long as they stay free. You can upload them to other free sites, include them in lots or Sims, modify them if you want.
Please make a link back to my original MTS2 threads, in case I update my past creations. If you're reuploading my mods to other sites, please keep them up to date. Check my MTS2 journal for updates of past creations..
My only 2 restrictions are:
- Do NOT upload them to PAY sites (including TSR) and Exchange.
- Don't claim them as your own.
