Title: Hygiene drop w/ Smustle? Post by: TreyNutz on 2005 December 21, 09:32:30 I had a vampire teen (Moza) try to get the dancing scholarship by practicing the smustle alone. His hygiene would go down to 50% then he'd stop and have to shower. So I put in a Uni wall shower nearby and had him practice right there in front of the shower head. He eventually got the scholarship. I don't know if regular sims get the same hygiene drop with the smustle or not.
Is this a Maxis bug? Has anybody noticed hygiene drops when sims smustle? I thought it was a fairly fast drop, but then he'd always stop at 50% he was always dancing a fairly short period of time before he'd have to shower. I don't think I have any hacks that would cause this, but I'll check tomorrow. Maybe I'll time the hygiene drop too. His older brothers (also vampires) were able to Dance Together about one entire night to earn the scholarship, and had no drop in hygiene. They went off to college, and Moza didn't have the dance together interaction with his dad, or his dad's parter. So I decided to use the smustle, which worked out well enough - if I had taken him to a club, it seems he would not have been dancing for long. Anyways, I was just curious if anyone has noticed anything like this before. The adult vamps in the house exhibit the same smustle/hygiene issue. It kind of makes sense that your hygiene would drop dancing away all night long. But I thougt it was odd that he'd workout on the exercise machine until his hygiene was in the red, but only do the smustle until his hygiene was 50%. Title: Re: Hygiene drop w/ Smustle?

I find the smustle funny so I had a married couple, who had both recently got out of bed and used the shower, smustle together. And I noticed the hygiene drop. It's odd how I'd never noticed it before, but considering they were both freshly showered it was quite a drop.
