Why my shower doesn't offer the option of taking a bath?

It often happens with bathtubs too, no idea why. I removed the mods in hopes it would be that, but NOPE. This kinda sucks because I always have to wait for my hygiene need to hit rock bottom in order to my sim automatically do something! Any idea what might be causing this?

  • Hi @pixelcruzader98 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    Thanks! It worked. Apparently, one of the mods was causing the option to vanish.
    I'll tell that to the modder right away.

    @pixelcruzader98 Glad to hear you found the culprit

    Could you share which mod it was ? (no links, just names unless it's an adult mod, then no naming either, just say it was an adult mod)
