Love Tub

Not to be confused with the Niagara Love Tub from The Sims: Hot Date.

The Love Tub is an aspiration reward that was added in The Sims 2. It's a hot tub, with candles around the rim to give it a romantic feel; when the candles are no longer burning, the tub's special properties have been used up.

It is meant to increase relationships among Sims. Sims can do anything in it that they can in an ordinary hot tub, but while the candles are burning, social interactions between Sims in the tub are more likely to be accepted, and will have a larger effect. It has been reported that, if Sims "Try for Baby" while the candles are burning, it is more likely to result in a pregnancy.

The Love Tub's special properties last for four hours. After that time, it functions as an ordinary hot tub.

Getting a Love Tub will fulfill the want to buy a hot tub.

Unlike the above-ground hot tub which is available in Buy mode, the Love Tub cannot be placed against a wall, fence, or railing.
