Shower

A shower is an object used by children and older Sims to improve hygiene. Taking a shower is usually more efficient than a taking a bath, as Sims will spend less time in the shower than in a bathtub.

The Sims
A Sim who uses the shower may sometimes leave a puddle of water on the floor in front of the shower, which will have to be cleaned. Children will almost always leave puddles.

Unlike later games, Sims may walk into a room while a Sim is in the shower, although they will be shooed out once the Sim stops showering. The showering Sim will remain in the shower until all other Sims have left the room.

The Sims 2
Messy Sims are more likely to create puddles while using the shower, although the puddles will not appear if there is not enough space around the shower for the puddles to form. In addition, messy Sims may also relieve their bladder motive while in the shower.

Sims will not enter a bathroom while a Sim is in the shower, unless they have a romantic relationship with them. They may still react in shock at the showering Sim's nudity. After showering, the showering Sim may lecture the Sim that walked in on them.

If a toilet in the same room as a shower is flushed, the Sim in the shower will scream from the changing water temperature, a common comedic trope. The showering Sim may later lecture the Sim that flushed the toilet.

The Sims 3
Sims may sometimes receive a "Cold Shower" negative moodlet from using a cheap shower, or an "Exhilarating Shower" positive moodlet from using an expensive one. Sims with the required handiness skill can upgrade the shower to be self-cleaning or unbreakable. Generations adds the ability to WooHoo in a shower, and allows children and teens to booby trap the shower with hair dye.

Replaces regular shower with "Quickie Cleanse", which cleans Sims in their current outfit without others being shooed. This builds their advanced technology skill, with the low skill making them more prone to the object's post-use failure.

The Sims 4
Showers in The Sims 4 function similarly to those in The Sims 3 in that they can be upgraded to improve their stats. Sims can take different kinds of showers to elicit a certain emotion:
 * Brisk shower to become energized.
 * Steamy shower to become flirty.
 * Thoughtful shower to become inspired.

Sims can also take a cold shower when angry or flirty, which will revert their emotion back to the one they previously had. Sims that use a cheap shower may become uncomfortable. If Sims shower at a gym, they will change into a towel rather than their everyday clothing afterwards. Discover University adds the ability to WooHoo in most showers, in which case Sims will change into towels instead of their nude outfits. However, Sims cannot WooHoo in open showers (such as the "Almost InvisiShower 2.0" and the "In Or Out? - Outdoor Shower").

Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day and Discover University add showers which do not violate privacy for Sims aged young adult and older. Sims will not shoo other Sims away before using them, but they may become embarrassed if other Sims are in the same room. Some showers also remain functional when a lot is off-the-grid.

Like the "Strut Your Stuff Communal Shower" from The Sims 2: University, the "Almost InvisiShower 2.0" from Discover University does not block access to anything placed around it, and Sims will walk right through it, allowing for more compact bathrooms.
