The Tubs in your Sim's Bathrooms

None of the options fit what I do, mainly because I don't always do the same thing. In a cheap starter house, I'll replace the bathtub with a cheap shower, which actually costs less than the cheapest bathtub. When playing sims that can afford something better, it depends on how large the bathroom is. If there's room for both a tub and a shower, I'll get both, but there also has to be enough room for a hamper if/when I get my sims a washing machine. With a small bathroom, there may only be room for a shower and a hamper, in addition to the toilet and sink, so they get only a shower. In my current game, the main floor and basement bathrooms have only a shower, no tub, while two of the three upstairs bathrooms have both tub and shower, and the third has a combo tub/shower. That's because I wasn't planning on adding on to the house, but unexpected circumstances made it necessary, so I used a blueprint bathroom and bedroom for the new household member, to save time I didn't want to spend in building.

I don't like my sims spending so much time in the bathtub when showers are so much quicker, but I do like having bathtubs when there are children, so they can do submarine adventures or play with rubber ducks in the tub. They're also good to have around for sims in stressful rabbithole careers, so they can take bubble baths when they come home in high stress and there's no better way for them to relieve stress.
