Title: Changing hygiene value of tub/shower
Post by: speedreader on 2006 December 08, 14:40:49
I have poked around in SimPE and done searches here and at MTS2 trying to figure this one out with no success. 

I have a d/l tub and shower that were based on the cheap Maxis plumbing.  Using them in my houses is a pain because everyone has to clean up twice a day, but I really like them.  I'd like to increase the hygiene setting, but where do I find that value in the object files?  I have successfully changed the settings for a couple of d/l beds without any trouble, but can't find settings for hygiene levels in plumbing! 

Thanks for any help.

Take a look at this mod (http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=24500&highlight=shower).

Depends on how they cloned it. It would probably be easier, for yourself to simply clone the expensive one and swap out the meshes and textures, and then the guids.

In BCON Tuning-Motives, line 0x2 is what you need. Communal shower should be 275 (decimal), while the coloratura shower is 400.

ETA: just to explain more, that value seems to work this way.
Showers have only one BCON: Tuning - Motives; bathtubs have Tuning - Bathing, Tuning - Toddler Bath and Tuning - Bubble Bath. Combo plumbings have those of bathtub plus Tuning - Showering.

As a general rule, in bathtubs and combos, Toddlerbath tuning = bath tuning, bubblebath = -50 bath and in combos showering = +50 bath.

These are all the values I collected from standard plumbing:

Code:
SHOWERS:
communal       275
cheap          300
coloratura     400

BATHTUBS & COMBO
cheap combo
   bath        200
   toddler     200
   bubble      150
   shower      250

hubba tubba
   bath        200
   toddler     200
   bubble      150

mid value tub
   bath        300
   toddler     300
   bubble      250

wooden tub (oriental?)
   bath        250
   toddler     250
   bubble      200

colonial
   bath        300
   toddler     300
   bubble      250

colonial combo
   bath        300
   toddler     300
   bubble      250
   shower      400


HOTTUBS
wooden hottub   75
vaporware       75

I think I'm feeling bold enough to go and edit some custom showers and tubs.

Thanks for the guide :)

Thanks Marhis, that's what I needed.  Thanks also for the values - will save me some time.

Nectere, thanks for your advice, but I'm gonna give it a shot just changing the value and see what happens.  If it doesn't work I will use the tub and shower the way they are.  I hacked a bed once in Sims 1 (with pages of instructions) and that is the extent of my Sims creation.  I'm afraid I depend heavily on people who know what they are doing and seem to enjoy doing it to create wonderful things for my Sims and their homes.  I have no inclination to figure out how all those meshes and things work!  ;D

Now, would you like me to reconfigure your filing system, set up a database, or spreadsheet, or merged mailing, or create a newsletter/brochure/flyer?  Those things I can do in a heartbeat.  I can even sew you a wedding dress or crochet an afghan or a sweater.  My talents just lie elsewhere and I have learned to accept it!
