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.
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 all lots except for [[Wren's Fens National Park]] have showers, and all resort lots have baths. Likewise, it's not a problem in the ''[[Bon Voyage]]'' vacation destinations, as baths and showers are available in [[hotel]]s as well as the campground in [[Three Lakes]]. Some community lots which offer [[massage]]s, [[sauna]]s, or [[Ancient Soakalicious Spring|hot springs]] may have bathrooms with showers. Most community beach lots in [[Twikkii Island]] have showers. ''[[The Sims 3: World Adventures]]''<sup>'</sup> all three destination worlds provide showering/bathing fixtures in base camps, as well [[market]]s that offer [[Shower in a Can|shower in a can]] which are used prominently for [[adventure|adventuring]].

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}} and [[Plumbot]]s{{vgversion|TS3:ITF}} have no hygiene motive, though a PlantSim's [[Motive (PlantSim)|water]] motive has some elements of hygiene. [[Bigfoot]]{{Vgversion|TS2:BV}} is largely indifferent to his own hygiene, and will not bathe unless directed to by the player. Mermaids have '''hydration''', which unlike hygiene can be fulfilled standing in the [[rain]]{{Vgversion||TS3:S}} and will [[death|die]] if not splashed with water before the final related moodlet expires.
==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.
===The Sims===
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.
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.
===The Sims 2===
In ''The Sims 2'', Sims with less than 2 [[Personality#Qualities|Neatness]] points will take a sponge bath from a 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 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%.
[[Teen]]s and older can use the primp self-interaction in order to get a slight hygiene boost.

===The Sims 3===
In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', Simsa withSim can buy the [[inappropriate]]Dirt Defiant [[Traitlifetime (The Sims 3)|traitreward]] have(for the15,000 optionLifetime toHappiness takepoints), awhich spongewill bathmake init anytake sink.longer Differingbefore fromthe ''TheSim Simswith 2'',that thisreward actionhas canto betake promptedanother by the playerbath.
The player can buy the Dirt Defiant [[lifetime reward]] (for 15,000 Lifetime Happiness points) for a Sim, which will decelerate their hygiene
will make it take longer before the Sim with that reward has to take another bath.
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 3: Supernatural]]'', [[witch]]es can cast '''Hygiene Charm''' and '''Hygiene Curse''' to increase or decrease hygiene.
===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.
