Looked around and couldn't find anywhere I could purchase sunscreen for my Sim. I even purchased a computer thinking it was one of those things you could order. No dice. So, now I have to ask where does a Sim get sunscreen? Or, is there none to be had and they just have to dodge the sun?Coming from a family prone to skin cancer I am very concerned about this.Please, and thank you, in advance.

After starting to get a tan at the lounge chair, if you click your sim, applying sunscreen will appear.

That was my first thought as soon as I read about the sun tans. :D

I was wondering this as well, because I got the sunscreen bottle from buy mode, and I can't click it. Its a none-interactive object. Can't put it in inventory either, as far as I've seen. I got some stuff from the beach supplies thing, but can't remember if sunscreen was one of those things.I don't care for getting a tan in real life, so my sims will probly never get one either :o I'm just bored when sitting out in the sun, with nothing else to do than sit there

The sun screen you can buy in the catalog (and not at beach supplies) is decorative clutter only.You don't need to look for it however because every sim can apply it at will while tanning.

Does anyone know when or if the suntan fades? My sim was sunbathing and she's been really tan for like 4 sim days.

I did this exact same thing today thinking it would help, but to no avail. There’s 8 simoleons down the drain..

I fully expected sunscreen to work like the medicine does. You click on it and are given three choices. Or like the insect repellent, which just needs to be in a Sims' inventory.

Others have already answered, but I wanted to add that you most definitely can’t get it from the machine. I tried that. I don’t know if the sunscreen bottle in buy mode was only meant to be a prop, or if it’s a glitch, but we should be able to use it.

It does fade. It takes a few days.

If you get a sun burn, a good way to remove it is by taking a mud bath.
Other than that, use the sunblock by clicking the towel (or sunbathe object).
The sunblock bottle in the BB mode is just decoration.
