Max, I have never seen my sims runs *in* the hot tub...do you mean, no visitors run TO the hottub? Or perhaps no visitors can use the hottub? or perhaps a hack that causes sims to get out of the hottub when their motives are filled (or too low)?

No, there was a hack around that stopped visitors from rushing to the hot tub when you greeted them (something that seemed to start after OFB, if I recall). I could swear I have it in my downloads, but I can't find it right now.  Let me look around a bit.

It's not a FFS hack at least, they still autonomously join the hot tub in my game.  They'll only go into the hot tub if your sim is already in it, but it could be quite annoying if you want 2 sims to be alone or something.  Squinge might have made a hack like this though.

EDIT:Squinge doesn't have a no autonomy hack, but he does have one that prevents them from staying in all day/night.

I did a search and can't find it in my downloads, and the recent patches haven't addressed the issue.  But I know it was there, and I thought somebody fixed it....

Perhaps you were acutally thinking about the 'asprecharge' hack? It stops visitors from autonomously using the lovetub (and wasting its charge) unless they've been asked to join.

Yea, that might be it, since most of my lots that have hot tubs actually have the love tub.

what did the charge do anyway?  I remember it was supposed to be some kind of relationship booster, but I just treat the lovetub like a normal hottub.  I didn't realise the asprecharge tweaked the code - I thought it was just about loading points so you didn't have to keep replacing the aspiration objects.  Thanks for that.

I was under the impression that using the love tub would make it easier for sims to woohoo with others. Theoretically lowering the required relationship threshold for acceptance? I have no basis for this other than just pulling that totally out of my arse. :P

But I figured there was some point to it other than getting a hot tub via aspiration, possibly faster than earning the simoleons to buy one instead. *shrugs*

from what I saw when playing my game, the love tub lowers the relationship points needed for woohoo and sims do not fall in love when woohooing. It's all I have noticed.

The only water relatet mod from JM that I know of is the one that stops people from going into the pool right after being greeted. I never had a problem with the hot-tub. I only use the love tubs too, mainly because mine have too many asperation points anyway. However, mine are all under lock and key, meaning that they are fenced in and locked, allowing household members only.

Yup, that's what it does, as long as the candles are lit.  After they burn out (if you don't have a hack that lets you recharge them), it just becomes a normal hot tub.

Of course, the new Casual Romance makes the love tub kinda superfluous, but it is cheaper than buying one (most adult sims have more than enough asp points to get one), and it does fill the Romance Sim want to buy a hot tub.
