What title says I can't repair or upgrade my bathtubs with hardiness skill, even tried putting the bathtub outside to make sure wasn't any routing issue blocking the way, also turned off all mods and is same thing. The Sim makes the motion at if they can't reach the object and the action is immediately cancelled out, anyone else experiencing the same never happened to me before. I Can't say for sure what it started since usually use showers most the time since they require less space, but since adding a bathtub again they been not working properly at least for me personally. Not sure if it's general thing or not right now I am forced to use cheat menu to repair, since I refuse to pay for repairs for something that's bugging out for me.

I had that happen in my game too. A bathtub got broken on a spa lot and my sim couldn't fix it no matter what. Tried to move it to another location as I also thought that it must be some pathing issue, but no. I eventually replaced it with a new tub.

I've noticed that my sims can't do all the upgrades for the bathtubs as well & I only play vanilla. What's up with that?

Yeah, I think there's a bug thread for that somewhere, if I'm remembering right. But, I think I tried to report it a quite a while ago, so I could be remembering wrong lol. I can't even get a repair person to repair tubs, I just always have to replace them, and it's been going on for a while now. Vry annoying. It's one thing to to be able to upgrade, but not being able to repair--in a game where everything tends to break all the time--is just intolerable.

Happened to me as well. And also to James Turner in his Cottage Living LP iirc. It's very annoying and I hope it gets fixed soon.

This seems to be the current bug report. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Sims-Can-t-Repair-Tub-Shower-Combos-While-Get-Famous/td-p/10539324/page/2

Your doing a excellent job Beta Testers. Keep up the good work and someday a fix may appear as your reward.

I don't know how they managed to break the bathtubs, they didn't even add a new bathtub, let alone new code for them. You'd think if they didn't update it they wouldn't break it. :lol:

I find that I can't add the eco upgrades to all bathtubs or shower/tub combos. It doesn't matter whether I try to upgrade them with eco or regular parts, I can't install the two eco upgrades if there is a tub in the object (including hot tubs). Haven't had a repair situation with the bathtubs yet but from what I'm seeing I expect that a repair will fail with the same routing complaint I get every time I ask my sim to upgrade the tub.

There is a complaint thread on EA HQ if you want to add a me too.

This is a bug. It's very annoying.
So far I've been cheating to fix the tubs. Shift-Click and press Repair.

It makes sense that this bug would arrive with a rework of Spa Day; remember they caused the non-functional bathtubs (as in you never got clean) when they extended spa functionality to all bathtubs with Island Living.

There is obviously something bad with the spa code.

I've been wondering when they added the spa functions to bathtubs for household.
I'm OK if the dev. says these functions need to be removed from the bathtubs in the Buy mode to fix this issue.
When I want to take a Mud Bath, I go to the Spa venue. :)
