BETTER BATH COLLECTION

The Sims 2 has my favorite bathroom pieces so they're the basis of this collection which includes two bathrooms with accessories you can mix and match. The budget bathroom was cloned from the Maxis value set but has been upgraded with slightly higher prices and improved hygiene needs and effectively becomes a mid tier bathroom. The colonial bathroom retains all of the prices and needs from the originals. I included a "before" inspiration pic so you can compare but these are completely new objects. They don't replace or edit the originals.

The set is slaved out the wazoo in order to make a cohesive, interchangeable set, save on resources and minimize recoloring. The meshes and mapping aren't perfect and some compromises were made but overall I'm happy with everything. I included a ton of bundled (tub & shower, vanity, towel and rug) recolors to save on loading times but the curtains were left separate so you can easily delete the colors and/or curtain styles you don't like.

The medicine cabinets require AL. The tubs, showers and toilets were updated to include the pet and tinker interactions but I included a basegame plumbing option if you need it. The set also requires my HW_dropShadow_Master file if you don't have it. Click on Show Details for the specifics:
