Sims bathe in mud

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Nederlands
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.61.15.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Let someone use the bathtub for a Mud bath and then use the bath tub normally.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sims will bathe in mud whenever they use the bathtub. It happened after an NPC used my bathtub for a mud bath.
What do you expect to see? Sims to bathe in water...
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

So an NPC used my bathtub randomly to get a mud bath. After this my sims kept bathing in mud... I first noticed it when my sim was bathing her toddler. It was mud. 

I also tried to restart the game but the mud is still there. It also doesn't matter who bathes. It's always mud. The hygiene will still go up tho. Luckily.

I made a screenshot of when my sim bathed her toddler and the mud was there. 

  • @Kimo0wW Maybe it only happens with upgraded tubs ? I'll test that scenario.

    Did you try taking another mud bath to see if that resets it ?

  • @Kimo0wW What happens if you replace the tub ? Is it just this model you have the issue with ? I've tested several scenarios and can't duplicate this issue but I haven't had an NPC take a mud bath in that particular tub (they keep opting for soaks instead) :D

    The thing is, I upgraded the tub with all the upgrades with a sim who is now dead so I'd rather not replace it ☹️ But I'll try it out with a different bathtub to see if the mud is also in there. I'll edit this message when I have the findings.

    EDIT: It didn't have mud in other bathtubs. Also after I took a mudbath. But the original upgraded bathtub keeps having the mud. Even after putting it in the inventory and back ☹️ SOB

    No I didn't. I'll try that out right now and I'll edit this message with my findings 🙂 

    EDIT:   It did reset it. 🙂 So I guess it's not a problem anymore. :D Thank you 🙂 

  • I had the same problem. An NPC took a mud bath at my house and after that the water would always be mud. Tried as suggested here, and had my sim take a mud bath. Now the water is back to normal. So strange!

    P.S. my tub was not upgraded.

  • I am having this problem in a non upgraded tub after one of my household sims took a mud bath. I will try taking another mud bath and see what happens.

    Having my sim take another bath has solved the problem. Very strange.

    Glad that cleared up @P4nDanimal!
