Spa Day: Mudding

Right now, mud baths are kind of a one-off moodlet + -100 hygiene hit. Fun for roleplay, but not much else. What if they were expanded into a ritualistic activity with progression, so they became worth repeating?

Core concept:

Mud baths give stackable benefits when done regularly (weekly ritual instead of daily grind).
Builds flavor, depth, and unique identity for Sims who like mudding.

Proposed system:

First mud bath (in a while): Small “Relaxed” moodlet (+1 Happy).
Consecutive weekly mud baths: Buffs grow stronger (Confident, Inspired, Stress Relief, longer durations).
Trait synergy:
Slob Sims: Hygiene loss reduced, they feel “At Home in the Dirt.”
Green Fiend: Bonus moodlet about “Natural Connection.”
Wellness Skill: Unlocks “Meditative Mud Bath” with stronger buffs or slower needs decay.
Lifestyle hook: Sims who keep it up could develop a hidden “Ritual Soaker” lifestyle that grants unique social interactions (“Invite to Mudding Ritual,” “Praise the Earth’s Healing Touch”).

Why it works:

Adds progression and roleplay depth to an underused feature.
Makes Spa Day feel more like a lifestyle pack, not just one-off self-care.
Creates more personality expression through “dirty ritual” Sims, without forcing everyone to use it.

What do you all think about this idea? To me, the entire Spa day pack needs a boost, but this is just one avenue to tweak it slightly.
