Bathing with clothes on

fxyldy46 · September 2016

Hi, since the most recent patch, all my female Sims bath with bras on. The children keep their under shirts on when bathing. I even tried having my Sim go naked and she still had her bra on. I had this problem with one Sim before the patch. Now it is all of them. So, whatever is being done in those patches is hurting game performance. I reported this to EA games but this worsening issue is not important unless may many gamers complain. I would appreciate any help with this issue.

Hello
Other simmers have been having this issue since the latest patch.
There is a batch fix to help the issue using the Sims 4 studio program.
http://sims4studio.com
You need to register with the site to accesss the download page and download /install the program but it is free,

I will quote how to do the batch fix from another site.

There's a tutorial on how to use the fix here. Note, however, that this is a bit dated now. The batch fixes have been made a bit easier to use in the most recent versions (v 2.6.15 (Sugar) and up) of Sims 4 Studio. So, instead of steps 1 & 2 from the linked tutorial, you just need to:
Start up Sims 4 Studio, if you haven't run it before, or recently, it may take a few moments to load up the game info. Once it's ready, click on the Tools option from the top menu bar. Then select Batch fixes -> CAS -> Disallow CC for shower. That should bring up the window shown in step 3 of the tutorial, where you select the folder where the CC to be fixed is and you follow the tutorial as written from there.

The tutorial referred to in the quote is
http://sims4studio.com/thread/1658/batch-custom-items-sims-shower

This thread on the AHQ EA site refers to the issue. It would good to post feedback on the issue there.

Thank you, I will give this a try.

You're welcome

I am just afraid it is not the CC causing this. This problem got worse right after the patch. It is very annoying. I think after this next EP is installed I will shut off Origin to prevent more damaging updates.

Hello
There was a simmer who posted about the issue on the 7th page of the AHQ EA thread that I posted a link to. It would be good to post feedback on the issue there.

fxyldy46 · September 2016

well, that did not work. I have reported this as a bug EA games. They did not seem too interested. This is something that has to be corrected within the game code. Hopefully a talented programmer out there will us.

rosemow · September 2016

I am sorry that you are having this issue,
There was a mod that was helping with the issue, which you could try to see if it helps your issue. Some simmers though have been finding that it no longer works.
The link to the mod is

fxyldy46 · September 2016

Thanks again. I appreciate your efforts. I can see why that link might not work. The game has been updated a few times since this link was working. Well, I will probably give it a try anyway. Hopefully, this issue and many others will be repaired soon. I pray the new EP does not bring us a lot of grief.

I have thought about several reasons why this problem occurs, as I don't want to delete every sim that gets "infected", and I try to keep my mods at a minimum. After the latest patch my dear alien girl is bathing with a white under shirt, which in no way is part of her clothing, as she only has alien clothes. I think this might be a hint, that she "doesn't want to be naked" trait? But in fact it annoys me.

I have also seen some adult sims taking a drink and going in the bathtub (naked) to drink it. I never saw this behavior until now. Every time I think it is part of the game, so this is NOT for complaining. But in fact it would be nice to know, what is intended and what is not.

Hello
With your second ssue, repairing the game may help. To do that, right click on the sims 4 picture in Origin and click repair.

Try resetting your sims 4 folder and see if that helps. To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated. Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder

But sweet rosemow, helpful as always and thanks for that. What I really want is an explonation to what is intended in the game and what is not. I deny calling everything an issue, until I know it for sure. The bathtub bathing with a drink in their hand is pretty amusing. I would never complain about it.

Hello.
Your alien girl shouldn't be wearing clothing when bathing. There is information about this on the EA AHQ site

That sounds like an very old bug being back. Was it a child or an adult Sim ? Drink from the bar or the fridge ?

Hi everyone, I just had the bra in the shower issue and I have no cc. First time ever so I try to find out what was causing it right after the september update. It's when a sim go in CAS. Even if you don't change anything on your sim. After that just try to shower and then voilà! you get the bra lol. Well I though maybe the new update with the Day of the Dead Challenge put in might be the thing causing this. In the challenge there will be a moment when your sim after completing the collection of sugar skulls can "Honor the Dead" and your sim automatically wear a special outfit. Just wondering...
Good news though, I found a "temporary" solution (because I don't like using script mod) @ modthesims. In the search put : reset bathing outfit.
Put the rar file in the mods folder without extracting files, enable mods and script mods and while in game, (before a sim enter the shower) in the cheat box enter : reset_bathing_outfit current
Hope it will help till there's an official fix

Hello @Mllespider .
It is good that the mod has helped the issue in your game,
I will post a link to the mod for other simmers to see if it can help the issue in their games also.

Well, I tried both Copy Any Outfit 2b off of ModtheSims and when that didn't work, I reset the Sims folder. Neither changed the issue with the specific sim I was playing at the time.
However, on a whim I decided to switch to another sim and found that she wasn't experiencing bra-separation anxiety. I can't say which of those I tried might have helped, but I am wondering if what I did with Copy Any Outfit 2b might have stuck my first sim with the issue where the Sims folder reset might have fixed it for other sims that I hadn't played before the issue came up.
For those who have yet to try, I recommending saving your game to a generic sim who you won't care might end up stuck with her bra on, and then doing both tricks. Resetting the Sims folder first might be a better tactic, and if that hasn't changed it, going on to Copy Any Outfit 2b.

@rosemow, you are a resource of knowledge, and I want to thank you for your continuous help.

Hello
Thankyou very much for your kind words

I am sorry that you are having the issue the first sim but am glad that the issue is not affecting your other sims.

Hi Guys,

I've been able to replicate this. As mentioned, this is different from the old cc problem and I was able to reproduce thanks to the extra step @Mllespider posted

I've split the new posts at AHQ from the CC issue so feel free to add your voices there: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/TO-ADD-Female-Sims-wearing-bra-in-Shower-bathing/m-p/5598834

Get mc commander and go to dresser. Outfit commands and then click on clean outfits. Only do this when they r bathing/showering or nude and that should fix it for that sim. Hope this helps

This totally worked thanks so much.. Only thing is you have to click on the sim that is bathing/showering and then click on outfit commands, and bam!!... no more clothes in shower/bathing

... I tried to click on the dresser while my sim was bathing and mc command didn't show in the options. It may just be me, however just noting in case anyone runs into the same issue. Been trying to fix this forever! Thanks again
