Hot tub

The hot tub is a type of object in The Sims Series. It provides fun, hygiene, social, and comfort to Sims who use it, as well as giving them a place to build relationships and even WooHoo. Extremely outgoing Sims may get in the tub naked. Don Lothario of Pleasantview was known for wooing his women into here, and then having woohoo with them.

In The Sims 2, pregnant Sims cannot get in a hot tub.

There are multiple hot tubs available in The Sims and its expansion packs. These tubs have different prices, different seating capacities (some seat 4, some seat only 2), and improve motives at different rates. Hot tubs can be bought from the plumbing section of the buy catalogue.

Two hot tubs are available in base game of The Sims 2. The Sims 2 also has a hot tub (the Love Tub), which can be earned as an Aspiration reward. Hot tubs in The Sims 2 seat 4.

If Seasons is installed, a hot tub will satisfy a PlantSim's need for water.

The Sims 3 base game contains no hot tubs, though it was possible to make "hot tubs" by using cheats. However, three different hot tubs were included in The Sims 3: Late Night, one of which is hidden and buyable with the buydebug cheat. Sims are able to WooHoo, cuddle and chat in hot tubs. Players are able to change the colors of the lights in the Hot tubs

Hot tubs have a slot where the portable stereo from the base game can be placed and used while soaking in the hot tub. If there is a Sim aged from baby through teen on a lot with a hot tub, the skinny dipping interaction is disabled. The Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff also contains hot tubs, with the same functions as Late Night. However, if Late Night is not installed, the option to skinny dip will not be available.

Glitches/Notes
Hot tubs can be obtained in the base game without Late Night by unlocking it from the Sims 3 website by posting a certain number of memories. Sims cannot skinny dip in it.
