{{Quote|Keeping clean is easy with regular showers or baths, but little things like brushing your teeth and washing your hands matters too.|''The Sims 3''}}'''Hygiene''' is a [[motive]] in [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]]. A Sim's hygiene will gradually decrease over the course of the day, and will decrease faster if they are engaged in messy activities. Therefore, it is necessary to take a [[Bathtub|bath]] or [[shower]] regularly in order to keep the motive up—a [[hot tub]] also works, but not as well. Washing one's hands after going to the bathroom also improves this rating, as does [[Toothbrushing|brushing teeth]]{{Vgversion|TS}}{{Vgversion|TS2:AL}}{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} or gussying up in the mirror.{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} In order to facilitate the latter activities, be sure to have a [[medicine cabinet]], a [[mirror]], and a [[sink]].
 
After a while, [[Sim]]s start to get dirty, and if they get very dirty, they start sniffing themselves and saying, "Ewww!". Bad '''hygiene''' will seriously affect Sims' mood and social skills—bad hygiene won't get a Sim promoted at work either. Therefore, it is necessary to take a [[Bathtub|bath]] or [[shower]] when the hygiene meter slips into the red—a [[hot tub]] also works, but not as well, although it can boost the social and fun bars. Washing one's hands after going to the bathroom also improves this rating, as does brushing teeth{{Vgversion|TS}}{{Vgversion|TS2:AL}}{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} or gussying up in the mirror.{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} In order to facilitate the latter activities, be sure to have a medicine cabinet, bathroom cabinet or mirror and sink. Sometimes, the shower leaks after a Sim has been in it, so it's handy to have a mop ready.
 
==Activities that decrease hygiene==
Line 7 ⟶ 6:
* If a Sim's bladder need bottoms out, they will pee themselves which will instantly bottom out the hygiene meter.
* Being near a fire. In ''The Sims'', only extinguishing a fire will cause a Sim's hygiene to decrease.
* In ''The Sims 2 (console)'', standing next to a pile of trash will cause a Sim's hygiene to decrease much faster than normal.
 
==Hygiene on community lots==
Most community lots will not have any ways of increasing hygiene other than sinks. In ''[[The Sims: Superstar]]'', some [[Studio Town]] lots have steam baths and hot tubs, but none of them boosts hygiene sufficiently. Therefore, it's best to get the hygiene meter as full as possible before going out.
 
Bathing and showering isn't a problem when on [[vacationing|vacation]], as most lots in vacation destinations will have showers or bathtubs available. Lots that offer [[massage]]s, [[sauna]]s, or [[Ancient Soakalicious Spring|hot springs]] may have bathrooms with showers.{{Vgversion|TS2:BV}} [[Market]]s in foreign destinations will sell [[Shower in a Can|showers in a can]], which can be used to quickly replenish hygiene while [[adventure|adventuring]].
In ''The Sims 2'', Sims with less than 2 [[Personality#Qualities|Neatness]] points will take a sponge bath on community lots if their hygiene meter drops to the point where they begin to stink. This action is completely autonomous and cannot be prompted, nor will the action come up again during a visit if the player interrupts it. If left in the queue, Sims will proceed to the nearest sink and bathe themselves, raising their hygiene bar to approximately 75%.
 
Bathing isn't a problem on [[Vacation Island]], as most lots at least have showers, and resort lots have baths. Likewise, it's not a problem in the ''[[Bon Voyage]]'' vacation destinations, because there are baths and showers in the [[hotel]]s.
 
In ''The Sims 3'', Sims with the [[inappropriate]] [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]] have the option to take a sponge bath in any sink. Differing from ''The Sims 2'', this action can be prompted by the player.
 
==Hygiene and other [[life state]]s==
[[Servo#The Sims 2|Servos]]{{Vgversion|TS2:OFB}}, [[PlantSim]]s{{Vgversion|TS2:S}}, [[SimBot]]s{{vgversion|TS3:A}}, [[mermaid]]s,{{Vgversion|TS3:IP}} and [[Plumbot]]s{{vgversion|TS3:ITF}} have no hygiene motive, though aPlantSims PlantSim'sand mermaids have a [[Motive (PlantSim)|water]] motiveand hashydration motive somein elementsplace of hygiene. [[Bigfoot]]{{Vgversion|TS2:BV}} is largely indifferent to his own hygiene, and will not bathe unless directed to by the player.
 
==Other ways of affecting hygiene==
===The Sims===
In ''[[The Sims]]'', ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'', and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', there are alternative ways of raising, or maintaining, hygiene.
In ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic|Makin' Magic]]'', magical children can use the '''No More Puddles?''' [[Spells (The Sims: Makin' Magic)#List of charms|charm]] to take a magical "bubble bath". For adults, the '''Magic Mood''' charm can boost all motives, including hygiene.
 
===The Sims 2===
In ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', magical children can use the '''No More Puddles?''' [[Spells (The Sims: Makin' Magic)#List of charms|charm]] to take a magical "bubble bath". For adults, the '''Magic Mood''' charm can boost all motives, including hygiene.
[[Teen]]s and older can use the primp self-interaction in order to get a slight hygiene boost.
 
Sims with less than two [[Personality#Qualities|neat]] points will take a sponge bath at the nearest [[sink]] if their hygiene meter drops to the point where they begin to stink. This action is completely autonomous and cannot be prompted, nor will the action come up again if the player interrupts it. Sponge baths will raise a Sim's hygiene bar to around 75%.
In ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'', the blue potion that can be made with the [[The "Concoctanation Station"|chemistry set]] maxes out three random motives, though there is no way to be certain that Hygiene will be one of them. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Sims can use [[The Eclectic and Enigmatic Energizer]] to raise all motives, including hygiene. In ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'', Sim inventors can also invent the [[Floor Hygienator]], which is placed on the floor and improves hygiene levels slightly when walked over.
 
In ''[[The Sims 2: Open for BusinessFreeTime|FreeTime]]'', aSims successfullycan craftedpurchase an [[Snapdragonaspiration Bouquetbenefit]] willto periodically boostdecrease the hygienerate of Simsdecay and petsfor inboth the room.hygiene Inand ''[[Thebladder]] Simsmotives 2:by Seasons]]'', the12%. [[career rewardsRomance]] forSims thehave [[Adventurer]]an andadditional [[Journalism]]benefit that reduces the careersdecay willby doanother this12%.
 
In ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]'', the [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)#"Good" spells|good spell]] '''Benemoodus Simaethe''' increases all of the motives including hygiene, while the [[Spells (The Sims 2: Apartment Life)#"Neutral" spells|neutral spell]] '''Cleanus Corpus''' only boosts hygiene.
 
===The Sims 2 (console)===
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', a Sim can buy the Dirt Defiant [[lifetime reward]] (for 15,000 Lifetime Happiness points), which will make it take longer before the Sim with that reward has to take another bath.
The [[Zombie Monkey Paw]] is an item that can be found when searching through a couch. It will max out a random need, including hygiene.
 
===The Sims 3===
In ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural]]'', [[witch]]es can cast '''Hygiene Charm''' and '''Hygiene Curse''' to increase or decrease hygiene.
Sim can buy the Dirt Defiant [[lifetime reward]] (for 15,000 Lifetime Happiness points), which will make it take longer before the Sim with that reward has to take another bath.
 
Sims with the [[inappropriate]] [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]] have the option to take a sponge bath at any sink. Unlike ''The Sims 2'', the player can direct Sims to do this.
In ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]'', using '''Power Cleanse '''option with a Sonic Shower gives the Sim '''Pristine Protection''' moodlet, which stops hygiene decay for 5 hours.
 
In ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions|Ambitions]]'', Sims can invent the [[Floor Hygienator]], which is placed on the floor and improves hygiene levels slightly when walked over.
 
In ''[[The Sims 3: Showtime|Showtime]]'', [[genie]]s can magically clean a Sim, which increases hygiene.
 
In ''[[The Sims 3: Supernatural|Supernatural]]'', [[witch]]es can cast '''Hygiene Charm''' and '''Hygiene Curse''' to increase or decrease hygiene.
 
In ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future|Into the Future]]'', using the '''Power Cleanse''' option on a [[Shower#Tardisian Well Sonic Shower by Corebital Designs|Sonic Shower]] provides the '''Pristine Protection''' moodlet for Sims that has the future sim [[hidden trait]], which stops hygiene decay for 5 hours.
 
===The Sims 4===
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', a Sim can buy a special potion from the [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 4)|aspiration reward]] store for 100 satisfaction points, which will immediately fill the hygiene need. The Antiseptic trait can also be bought for 3000 satisfaction points, which makes the Sims hygiene meter decay slower. Lastly, the Forever Fresh trait can be bought for 8000 satisfaction points, which will permanently max out the hygiene need.
 
==Pets==
[[Pet]]s, like Sims, have hygiene motives and need to be fulfilled. [[Cat]]s will clean themselves, but [[dog]]s will need to be washed by a Sim, which can sometimes be hard if a dog likes to be dirty. In ''[[The Sims: Unleashed|Unleashed]]'' there are dog baths for dogs, but in ''[[The Sims 2: Pets|Pets]]'' dogs will need to be washed in regular bathtubs. When the dog jumps out of the bathtub, they will leave a puddle behind., Soso it's handy to have a mop ready for that tooas well.
