Basin ShowerThis is a ‘shower’ to match my Pitcher and Basin Set. Your sims will be able to wash themselves without waiting for their weekly bath or for their 6 siblings to be done in the tub.It’s a bit tricky to place. The basin has nothing to do with the placement except that it’s the part you hold. You can put the basin on the other side of the wall if you go too close, so if it vanishes, check there. The important spot is invisible once it’s placed–you NEED the spot in front of the basin and to the immediate left clear, or your sim won’t be able to reach it.Clutter the basin up as much as you like, including putting things inside the basin. These all work in game.I don’t recommend the last one, but it will work.It’s designed to work with the dresser from Cottage Living. It floats a TINY bit on counters, but you won’t see that unless you’re at eye level with the counter. You can use move objects to raise it if you’re willing to ignore your sims floating when using it, although there is a limit to how high it can go before sims can’t reach it. If you want to put it on something lower, you can make that thing bigger or put something on top of it. You can place it using move objects onto things it doesn’t want to go on, but if that thing is functional, you shouldn’t because it can cause routing issues for that thing–not for the basin though, as far as I can tell.It does NOT go into slots. Don’t be surprised if a sim puts a toy or a dirty dish inside if you place it in the same place a slot exists. You may want to fill slots first and then place somewhere that has no slots it if that concerns you.It comes in the same 8 swatches as the basins from the original set, which match the multitude of swatches for the pitchers.Everything is properly tagged for the base colour. It should be off-the-grid compatible. I say should, because these (and the sink from the first set) are my first OTG items, and while they’re based on in-game OTG items, OTG is tricky to get to stick.152 polys. Costs 100 simoleons.Important info:
- Leave the space in front of and to the immediate left of that clear! That’s where the ‘shower’ is.
- There is no water effect, because that would mean water falling from mid-air.
- There is no soap, because that goes with the water, unfortunately.
- Can break, but will not visibly break. That also goes with the water.
- Can get dirty, but just like the sink, it will not get visibly dirty. I had to choose between transparent or solid water, and transparent won. Visible dirt was with the solid water.
- Sims can do everything that they can with a normal shower, including shaving if you have high school years, EXCEPT woohoo.
- This has custom tuning. That makes it slightly more likely to break in a patch. If it does, I may not notice if I’m not actively using it in my game at the time. PLEASE let me know if you’re using it and it breaks.
- It does not have custom animations. Sims will act as if water’s falling on them. Not so noticeable if you play with the game’s mosaic, but if you play with the mosaic removed, it may look odd. I am not an animator, so it is what it is.
- The water does not move. With the sink, I was able to move things around and make the surface move a bit when in use. When I tried that with the shower, there was water falling out of the cabinet underneath.
