Bathtub

A bathtub is an object that appears in most of The Sims games. The primary use is improving a Sim's hygiene, as well as other traits or moods. Bathtubs are generally 2x1 objects, but The Sims, The Sims Deluxe Edition, The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff, and The Sims 4 have high-end bathtubs that are 2x2.

Some bathtubs have shower fixtures, but most do not.

The Sims
A Sim who uses a bathtub may sometimes leave a puddle of water on the floor in front of the tub, which will have to be cleaned. Children will almost always leave puddles. Bathtubs in The Sims (and expansions) also provide Comfort.

The Sims 2
Bathtubs in The Sims 2 (and expansions) also provide comfort. All bathtubs allow Sims to take bubble baths, which give more Comfort, but are slightly less efficient at providing Hygiene. The shower feature of shower-tubs gives more Hygiene than a bath (and takes less time) but does not give Comfort. Hygiene scores are given as Bath/Bubble bath/Shower (for shower-tubs). Comfort scores are given as Bath/Bubble bath.

Sims with 8 or more playful points can play in a bathtub, where they will pretend to be a pirate captain on a boat.

Bathtubs are used to bathe toddlers. If Pets is installed, bathtubs are used to bathe dogs.
