I've been wanting this for years! I was going to attempt to do this myself, however I don't (yet) have the modding knowledge. Thank you so much for doing this! And thanks also for telling us how to fix for custom showers as well. I will try it out!

Yay! Oh, thank you.

It's never made sense to me that a fancy shower would clean faster than a cheap one, and I'm tired of having the same shower in every single house.

Lord Darcy, you did it again! Thank you so much. :-) And I read your WHOLE thing this time and realize that not every shower and tub are all going to be the same -- just equal to the best of their type in the game, lol! This is just perfect! I got so tired of my University sims taking hour long showers, so ridiculous!

Awesome job! This really enhances the game! The discrepancy between the expensive and cheap furniture, fixtures and appliances has always bothered me so much--tubs, beds, stoves, etc. Yes, I can see the expensive items should have a greater room impact, or even break less readily, but I will never understand why a Victorian-style shower was deemed more efficient, or the same food cooked by an equally expert chef is more satisfying and nutritious when cooked on an expensive stove than when cooked on a cheap one.

Lord Darcy, bringing product sanity to simming, one mod at a time!

Neat idea even if I would have gone in the opposite direction. I'm over 6 foot tall and even the highly priced tubs would be uncomfortable for me.

Yes, as AL is your new "Latest EP" now.

I have a question. My latest EP is Seasons. It was the last expansion pack that I installed, but I'm using the Bon Voyage disc to play the game. I don't know why, but whatever; it works.

Anyways, I tried putting the file in Bins for Seasons, but it doesn't work. If I try and put the file in Bins for Bon Voyage, would that ruin my game?

I figured I would ask before I tried it in case I screwed something up, so I apologize if this question seems stupid. *sheepish*

Wut? BV came out AFTER Seasons. Clearly, your latest EP is BV, not Seasons. You should put the files in BV folder.
"Latest EP" does NOT mean the latest EP YOU installed in YOUR system, in case you don't know what "EP order" means.

OH! *sheepish* Yeah, I thought it meant the order that you installed it on your computer. I didn't know that. Thanks for the clarification. ^^;;

Hrm, I've just noticed that the download instruction tab on this one is off... it says to put things in the download folder when your insturctions are clearly state to put it in the Res/Catalog/Bin --latest EP... I wonder if this has something to do with that the site was changed to this look later then the thread was created... Well, it is just confusing, and for older downloads I've followed the download instructions tab and only read the "updates" didn't scroll down -
-I came here to update from basegame only to AL and Mansion&garden stuff... since I like and use your mods :-)
So I do read the whole thing creators tell you. Can you change the installing instruction tab? for those who don't read? :-/

Yeah, I still like your mods :-D

FYI: Could NOT "save as" into the Bins folder. Had to save/unzip on desktop, then drag to that folder. My computer (or I) am wonky?

Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..
