The Tubs in your Sim's Bathrooms

I was remodeling a pre-made home the other day and once again I was met with the standard, ridiculous, EA built, home bathroom...

Where you have the cheapest toilet, sink, and bathtub. Y'all know the kind. (At least this one had a nice sink. Brownie points for that).

Maybe it's the perfectionist in me, but I HATE these standard EA bathrooms! :angry: (And yes, I know they are standard to make the home cheaper for sims to buy up front). But the reason I hate them the most is... there's no shower!!! Every. Single. Time. :confounded: Seriously folks, every bathroom out there has at least a shower/tub combo. I have yet to see a home where there's only a tub, but no shower head above it, or separate shower. :confused: I mean, to me that's just silly!

(Yes, I recognize that turn of the 19th century or older sim homes would be accurate to have just a tub. ;) But 98% of all the pre-made EA homes aren't that old... )

ALL my sim bathrooms have to have a shower! (Except for half baths of course ;) ). Often times I ditch the bathtub because I'm not a bath kind of girl and only place a shower. :blush: But I'll sometimes do the shower/tub combos for families to make it more realistic.
I also can't stand how slloooooow it takes sims to bathe... :weary:

So what do you guys do with the bathtubs in your Sim's bathrooms when you are faced with the Standard EA bathroom in a pre-made home? :mrgreen:

(Sorry, there's no "Other" option this time around. :p I've found those tend to get the most votes and that never makes polls fun. Tee hee! So, please choose the closest one and then if you'd like to explain more in the comments feel free. :blush: )

  • Okay, i'll admit it, even though in some cases more expensive i can't live without a combo.

    1. saves space in that ever so tiny bathroom (sims on a budget :wink: )
    2. can be cheaper than a nice tub+shower
    3. I love to put bubble bath soap, little duckies and candles in my bathroom, so the space is needed. Isn't it so cute to see the kids use that yellow duck in the bath?/

    I prefer to have a shower on my lots because that's my most used woohoo method. quick and effortless!


    Plus gets 2 sims ready for work faster than taking separate showers or baths and they start off the day in a good mood. :)
