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 and The Sims Stories, 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.

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 regardless if those Sims are part of the player's household. The Sims 3 Outdoor Living Stuff and The Sims 3 Showtime 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.

 * It is possible to skinny dip with a Teen or younger Sim on a lot by making those Sims leave the house, telling the adults to skinny dip and then having those Sims return. The Sims will continue to skinny dip but they cannot be commanded to skinny dip again.
