Shower-Bathtub hybrids don't work with the latest patch

I noticed that shower bathtub hybrids don't work since the latest patch, as sims shower forever and the hygiene need doesn't fill up while using them. Regular showers still work as intended though.

There's already a bug report.

Added “Showertub Fix” so Hygiene should fill up again when showering (was messed up with Patch 1.59)

Thank you for the link. I found the fix.
1 - Navigating through recolors/swatches using +/- on build mode. Now it randomly moves along swatches instead of following the correct order. It's super annoying, I can't go back to the previous swatch if I accidentaly passed through it. The game takes me to a random swatch instead.
2 - Free movement using Moschino tripod. For anyone familiar with how the tripod used to work, is it working the same for you? Movements are restricted now for me, I can't freely use camera navigation, the angle is fixed and only lets me to pitch up, down and around a sim. That's not how they advertised nor how it worked before the patch.
Sorry for using this thread, but I can't open a new one yet.
Other than that, this patch was brutal. I know the devteam meant well, but they really shouldn't drop such a huge patch and then take their Christmas vacations. In adition to the smaller above annoyances and more well known ones like maids making time go crazy, Get Famous and Discover University are useless for me right now, which sucks since I just started playing with them.
However, before, the camera was unlocked so you could use really cool angles wich not only looked good, but also allowed for hiding parts of the room/set which weren't meant to be on the picture. Now the camera is locked in a fix spot and only allows you to spin around a sim or point up and down. That kinda defeats the purpose for me. Taking shots of kids are ruined, you can only picture them *from above*, not from their own level like you could before, so now you can expect to see the flooring of the set on the picture, for example. And depending on your placement, reeeeally zooming into the sim is the only way to hide sets, since you can't use free angle to cover them anymore.
That stopped working for me with the patch, but I don't see anybody taking about it. I don't know if that's because it's not broken and my game is acting up or if because nobody cares about that system enough to actually bother with this change.
That's what I was hoping for actually. Moving the camera up and down while pointed straight ahead. Or even moving it down to floor level looking up on an angle for more interesting perspective photo shots.
You can do that with "Shift" + "Tab" to get a perspective from a Sim at their eye-level for screen-shots, but it's really warped and weird looking.

As for the Bathtub/Shower. I recommend the fix mod by LittleMsSam. She also added that you can take quick showers and quick baths which is really handy. As an optional add-on you can have them go back to their regular clothing after exiting the shower or bath instead of the towel.

That's what stopped working. The camera is now locked on the tripod. You can zoom in, zoom out and around, but always fixed from where the camera/tripod is.
