Add realism with tooth brushing, lotioning, deodorant, and hand washing in daily life.

Personal Sim Hygiene adds layers of hygiene realism to Sims’ daily lives. Sims risk bad breath, dry skin, smelly hands, and hair product buildup if they skip hygiene routines. They can brush teeth, use deodorant, apply lotion, wash hands, and treat cavities for a fuller wellness experience.

Key Features
Dental hygiene mechanics give Sims a bad breath buff if they don’t brush in 24 hours, and there’s a chance for cavities which must be fixed by visiting a dentist. Body hygiene effects include dry or itchy skin—lotion or cleansing removes those buffs. Sims can use deodorant or perfume to slow hygiene decay and gain confidence or experience side effects like dizziness. Hair products can build up and require cleaning. Handwashing removes a “dirty hands” buff.

Requirements & Compatibility
Requires Lot 51's Core Library. The dental hygiene module conflicts with Adeepindigo’s Dental Care mod, so the dental file needs removal if using Dental Care. Some animations (body-care ones) use Snowy Escape and High School Years assets—if those packs are missing, animations simply won’t show but functionality remains.

Mod Release Date
Public release: March 14, 2023.

Gameplay Role / Impact
This mod adds meaningful maintenance to hygiene—ignoring it carries social and self effects. It encourages more active care of Sims’ bodies rather than passive decay. Storytelling and health simulation both benefit.

Community Feedback
Players appreciate how the mod fills in gaps in default hygiene (like no oral hygiene or hand washing). Many find the extra detail immersive without being overwhelming, though some manage conflicts with other health mods.

Why Use It: Adds neglected hygiene mechanics (teeth, skin, hands) to deepen everyday life simulation.
Recommended Pairings: Works well with medical, healthcare, or realism mods but be careful to avoid conflicts with dental or hygiene modules.
