Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

im looking for a MOD to make baths endless, because I have a Mermaid Sim, and I want them to 'live' in the bathtub. (As much as possible, anyway

)

Meaning, if I make a Sim take a bath/bubble bath, I want them to stay in the tub until I tell them otherwise.

I am not sure if this is possible or not but if you know of anything or have info about this or could make this, please comment.

Thank you.

Hi so i tried to do the mod but i don't own Island Living but if you still want the mod i tried it in my game and it worked. This is the package file please try it and give me feedback. I'm new to modding so sorry any mistake but i wanted to give your request a go.

At midnight in Sim hours the Sim will end the bath if you don't cancel the action, also if the sim has the hygiene full he will not exit the bathtub unless you cancel it.

I'm somewhat dubious that this will work, since mermaids have completely separate tuning for baths and bubble baths than non-mermaids. However, I can't say for sure that it won't work, and I don't have time to test it myself, so I'll leave it to the OP to do that. If it only works for non-mermaids, I'll see if I can make one that only works for mermaids. If it affects all Sims, mermaid or not, and the OP would rather not have non-mermaids end up stuck in the tub, I might look at it if no one beats me to a solution, but I've been pretty tied up with other stuff lately. (I'm also not sure it won't affect mermaids, since I see it uses the object tuning and not the interaction tuning.)

missnanami99 Since the OP hasn't logged in for a couple of weeks, I took a few minutes to check this out myself, and it does work on mermaids! Of course, as I'm sure you already know, it also works on non-mermaids, which might not be ideal. But it absolutely is a pack-independent method of doing what the OP asked for, which is impressive work, especially for a new modder.

If the OP turns back up and is interested, though, I'm still down to see if I can use the mermaid-specific tuning from the EP to make a mod that only affects mermaids. It's obviously not a failing on the part of a modder to not have an EP, but while I think it might actually be possible to make a mermaid-only mod without having access to EP-specific tuning (though not with the method I plan to try), it's impossible to test it without the EP, so I'm glad to see what I can do. (Not sure if I can do any better than just making it only apply to mermaids, though. You might still have to make sure they don't have other motives turn red in the tub.)

Also, OP, you may find the 'mermaidmotivetweak' download here interesting. It's only really useful for mermaids who can hang out in the ocean all the time, and I'm guessing you probably had mermaids who don't live on ocean lots in mind when you asked about this mod, but it still seemed relevant to your interests.

Thank you for the compliment Cidira!

When i tested the motives of the sim they went down with the time, but at the time being i couldn't figure it out how to make them green while the mermaid was in the tub (in this case my sim since i don't own the EP, yet). Perhaps a little more time and i would made it but for now i'm a little busy and can't do much. Cidira in case you want to work with the mod i made and make it specifically for mermaids go ahead, it would be a honour for me for an expert modder like you to use my mod as a base :Titter

. I still need to learn some things maybe taking some classes too. twobestsimsters please reply to this post in case you are still interested because i have the file occupaying space in my computer and google drive, after a month i'll delete it.

Definitely not an expert modder -- just a little bit further along of a beginner and also a thinky nerd with a little bit of compsci background.

Also, when I mentioned "you" needing to keep mermaids' motives from getting too low, that "you" is actually twobestsimsters through normal gameplay. There isn't really a need to keep them from going down at all, but since the game expects Sims to get out of the tub when they're clean or the normal timer runs out, it doesn't have a lot of mechanisms to get them out because of low motives already built in. My intention, if I end up working on it, is to add some, but if I can't do it as well as I'm hoping then they'll need a little player monitoring.
