Shower/Tub Combos look clean even when dirty

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs except Journey to Batuu.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a combo Shower/tub on the lot. Wait until it gets "dirty", or turn on testingcheats and use the Make Dirty command.

  • I'm on console (Xbox One X) and I've seen this before too. The first time I did this I was curious as to what the shower/bath combo would look like dirty (and used the Make Dirty cheat). In case it matters, I had only base game at the time, if I remember correctly (by base game I mean just the game and the Holiday Celebration pack, probably before I had Ghoulish Guitar and Cool Kitchen).

    I originally was playing this on a haunted house lot with all the lot challenges, including the filthy challenge, but taking that challenge off and changing to a normal residential didn't fix the issue. I haven't tested this on every shower or tub. I was having the issue with both the "Under the Sea Clawfoot Tub with Shower" and the "Sheer Will Clawfoot Tub."

    I also have this issue and have had it for a very long time now. So I was surprised to see this bug report only has 3 'me too' at this moment. It is a very annoying bug. Eventually you find out the shower-tub is dirty either by a sim getting a uncomfortable moodlet or by clicking the object and seeing the option to 'polish to perfection'. But I much rather just SEE it is dirty, like how it used to work and how it works with all the other plumbing objects. Also, if your sim is neat, the option to clean it (polish to perfection) is always there, also when the tub is clean, so then finding out is even more difficult. Hope this gets fixed someday...
