In Sims 2, puddles from broken sinks, sloppy sims, and pet messes stayed around forever. There was no "wait and it'll go away". You had to mop those puddles, or they'd never leave.
In contrast, puddles in Sims 3 aren't such a big deal. Just wait several hours, and your sim's bladder failure will magically vanish from the carpet. It makes cleaning those messes seem less important, less punishing.

So, without further ado, I present to you: PermaPuddles. That ocean in the bathroom from your broken shower stall is still there. So what if you fixed it yesterday? The pet urine on the rug doesn't magically cease to exist.
Okay, technically the puddles don't last forever. But it now takes 9999 in-game minutes for them to evaporate from a floor tile. That's almost an entire week. Really gives your sims, and yourself, greater incentive to clean up the water on the floor. Just for the heck of it, I also doubled how long a standard puddle lasts on terrain, from 2 hours to 4 hours.
These changes will only really affect your home lot. The game does a nightly cleanup of inactive lots, both residential and community. So, unless your sim stays at the library for three days straight, any puddles left at your neighbor's house or a public restroom will soon vanish.


This mod should be base-game compatible, with no known conflicts.
Only affects the XML PuddleManager_0x800256eaf5aeb078.
