Public Showers

[Anonys4]

When you travel in the game to a gym, you'll notice sims would come and go, randomly using the showers in the gym.

Is it possible to get the same effect on other lot types, like swimming pools for example? maybe a trait mod ?

I have a nightclub and Brothel where are public showers. NPC's uses them without any additions.

Can you explain more? 

I guess the nightclub / brothel are made with mods, so there's something in these mods that tell NPC's to use the showers?

 

what is the lot type of these places?

Nightclub is under club in the lot type. Brothel is modded, or one of the custom lots that have no requirements.

I'm not much of a modder and I could be wrong about this but my understanding is there's nothing special about gym lots themselves that compel sims to use showers but there is something special about the situation of visiting the gym for a sim. When inactive sims are spawned to visit a gym lot they are automatically given low hygiene. A little bit of working out and it gets to a critical level for the sim and so they'll autonomously try to solve this need or leave the lot if they can't. Gyms have showers and so the sim will autonomously take a shower. Most of the time sims are spawned with all their needs at high level unless there is a specific reason otherwise, e.g. spawning them with a high hunger need to get them to eat at a BBQ situation. If, for example, you wanted pool visitors to shower then you could alter the Situation Job Tuning xml file for the pool situation so that they spawn with low hygiene. Otherwise, you have to wait for them to get dirty enough to want to shower which is probably not going to happen naturally.

 

EDIT: To satisfy my own curiosity I actually had a look at exactly how the gym situation works and it turns out I was wrong. There's three separate roles a sim visiting a gym can be assigned as part of the gym visit situation: exercise, relax and shower. The shower role basically just gives the sim a desire to want to shower and also specifies it should be done on the current lot and they shouldn't leave the lot to do it. This is done via a buff. You could probably create a lot trait or something that achieves a similar effect. Like giving sims a greater desire to satisfy hygiene or something because they aren't going to autonomously use showers unless something pushes them to and most of the time they are going to start in a state with the hygiene need very satisfied.
