Decor with a Purpose: Useful Hand Soap
I finally figured out what I wanted to do for hand soap! It's actually based on some existing functionality in the game: the soap dispenser upgrade that sinks can get.
The way these objects work is that you just place them near the sink and use the sink as normal. Sims will get a buff just like they do if the sink is upgraded with soap. There are no interactions on the objects themselves, so please don't think they're broken just because you can't click on them.
These are overrides for EA items, giving them custom tuning. It also changes the sink_washHands and sink_washHands_OffTheGrid interactions so anything else that changes those or the objects themselves will conflict.

- Bathroom Clutter Kit Soap Pump
- Get to Work Soap Dispenser

Update 3/25/23:
- Fixed missing search terms
- Adjusted tags for consistency (yes this probably reverts past changes but you've probably realized by now how fleeting my decisions are)
- This isn't an update you need to rush to get. It's maintenance and improvements.

Patch Notes
The new strings are in English, French. Polish, and Russian only at the moment. I don't speak any languages nearly well enough to translate them so I welcome any translations that anyone can offer and will credit all translators.
Compatibility
- Bienchen's Pimples Mod - When you install this mod you need to put it in the same folder as Bienchen's mod and do not rename either of them. This will ensure that the tuning loads in the correct order.
Addons
- Hand Soap Interactive - Replaces the passive functionality with an interaction to get soap.
Future plans
- If you know of an item I missed let me know.
Known Issues
- The Bathroom Clutter Kit object isn't searchable by "Ilex" like most of my objects. S4S strings were giving me trouble. I'll fix it when I'm able.
Thank You!

About Me

- If you're an object creator and want to use any of my tuning you totally can. Just link people to my stuff to download it (rather than including it in your download) and send me a link to your work if you want me to share it.
- Don't upload my content anywhere without asking me. I may give permission to my translators to share my mods where they'll be more accessible to non-English speaking players.
I have a Patreon if you want to donate and support me, but none of my functionality mods are locked behind a paywall.
If you want to test my mods in early access, become a translator, or just join my little community you can join my Discord server. The server is also typically the best way to get in touch with me if you have a question or problem.
