Title: Higher Hygiene for Communal Shower?
Post by: twistingsims on 2006 October 01, 20:36:52
I've done my search through this forum and a couple of others, but I can't find anything in a modded communal shower to have higher hygiene.

If anyone knows where I might find such a thing, please let me know.

Thanks   ;D

Isn't the thing about communal showers that you just don't EVER feel properly clean when using one?

I tend to agree with Ness about the reality of communal showers.  But if you really want a hacked shower with a higher hygine, it might be an interesting learning experience to do it yourself in simpe.  Object cloning/modifying isn't horribly hard, and if you need pointers you can either post here or PM me.

When you are on the community lot, Shift+Ctrl+C to bring the cheat window, write - change lotzoning residential - put the highest hygiene shower from the residential Buy Mode, bring again the cheat window, and write - change lotzoning community.

Take care to put one shower only, in one bathroom.

Does the lot zoning cheat really matter here? It was my understanding this only affected a lot on loading or saving.
I usually use the dorm build cheat to enable the catalog (there's also a hack at MTS2 which enables buying, building, and even the inventory but I don't use it atm) and then just drop a shower.
Just remember these changes on unowned comm lots are not saved.

Why unsaved, Jordi?

Exit to the hood, click on the com lot, and package it to a file. Each time you want this lot, go to Packaged Lots, and install it.

I do it with all my community lots. For instance, I have updated 50's coffee shop, and bowling lot, packaged them to a file, and when I enter Downtown, I buldoze the original lots, and put my updated lots instead, with the same name.

In the college I have updated Gym lot, packaged to a file, named "New Gym", and I always install it instead of the old gym.

Once I redecorated the "ghost house" (forget the name), packaged it to a file, and put it always in each hood I play.

I REAAAALLY do not recommend taking any advice on anything from Gali. I'm sure Gali's neighborhood files look like a horrible mess and her game is in the process of imminent meltdown.

Oh, I thought you were referring to adding one while a playable is visiting...

I had edited the template houses in downtown before to cope with the Gunmod darkness, lost that copy though. Should probably re-do the edits even though I've reverted to Maxis lighting (so I can SEE my game). NL lots are unplayable without BUYs, Business controllers, and some rebuilding....

Do you know of a way to sort the lot catalog by the way? (Other than place, delete from catalog, reinsert in LC in wanted order.)

What we really need is a shower that raises hygene faster, but your sim stops showering before they are completely clean.
