Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all expansion and game packs, My First Pet Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff, Fitness Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Backyard Stuff, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Romantic Garden Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? by trying to make any of the Sims take a shower
What happens when the bug occurs? The Sim's hygiene need never improves, and so the Sim stays in the shower until explicitly told to get out (it cannot even be superseded by a higher need - one of my Sims was about to pass out from exhaustion before I figured out how to get them out of the shower). This does NOT happen when they take a bath.
What do you expect to see? The Sim's hygiene need increases as normal while they are in the shower. They eventually get on their own once the need is full.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The 12/12/2019 patch seems to have caused it, as the game worked as normal last night.

Please describe the patch or change you made. I downloaded today's patch (12/12/19). I believe that this is what caused the issue, as the game worked as normal last night.

I have ea shower tub combo and my sims get their hygiene met. will test it though When the child sim took a shower the need was not filled. a young adult took a shower the need was not filled but when the same sim took a bath instead need was filled.

- What happens when the bug occurs?= It happened right after the December 12th 2019 update. When sims shower, in the duo type shower/bath, it does not fill their hygiene, leaving them showering for-ever (Tu-tu-tuuum) unless you cancel the action of doing so (which can decay the hygiene need of the sim). Other showers/baths (who only serve 1 function) seem to work fine.

*Note* : This is my first post ever using EA (I am still not sure at 100% if I'm doing this right lol. I am posting this so that the more people talk about that bug, the faster the developers gonna see it and the faster it's gonna get fixed. Thanks for reading and thank you for the future bug fixes. 🐱
