Mosaic-Blur Removal is the general term covering mods which remove the censoring blur in Sims games.
The Sims
Enter the move_objects on cheat and move a Sim away from a bathtub and you'll see that the censor is in the bathtub.

The Sims 2
At first you could only get rid of it by using SimPE and changing the BCON and BHAV files (which is a messy business), but later on a mod was released in .package format.
- If you have the base game or University installed without the patch, you can remove the blur by using the cheat intProp censorGridSize 0
- If you have the University patch installed or any later expansion packs, you need to use one of the mods below.

The Sims 3
There have been early attempts at removing the mosaic blur effect when showering or using the toilet, but it involved a hack, which is a complete destructive replacement of some core game files for The Sims 3. Now a mod has been developed that non-destructively removes the mosaic blur effect.
Note that by default, a naked Sim has a 'barbie-doll' skin so there is nothing naughty or provocative to see if you apply the .package mod to remove the mosaic blur. Also, when sitting on the toilet a Sim does not remove its underwear. So if you find the default mosaic blur annoying or even painful (some people are actually given headaches by the effect), you don't have to worry about being considered lecherous. Unless of course you also apply mods that create more realistic skins and mods that provide "nude" or "sheer" clothing, but even then it's a personal and cultural choice whether such mods are lewd or merely natural and realistic.
Due to the nature of the mod, it will have to be updated for each new expansion and stuff pack if new effects are added.[1]
