Sims wearing a towel inside a hot spring pool in a Sims 4 environment, representing the NPC Sim Wear Towel in Hot Spring mod.
This mod makes NPC Sims wear towels instead of swimwear during hot spring visits

NPC Sim Wear Towel in Hot Spring by Cepzid is a custom content / tuning mod for The Sims 4 that changes the default swimwear for NPC Sims in hot springs (onsen) so that they wear a towel instead of swimwear. The mod is intended to improve immersion and cultural accuracy for hot spring settings.

Key Features
NPC Sims switch to wearing a towel when in hot spring lots, rather than default swimwear. This is a visual / cosmetic change, not a gameplay mechanic. The mod replaces or modifies how the game handles outfit selection for those lots so that towels become the default “swim” attire in the hot spring environment.

Gameplay Role / Impact
This mod doesn’t change gameplay rules or skills—it’s purely aesthetic. Its purpose is to make NPCs in hot springs look more appropriate (wearing towels rather than swimsuits), adding realism and cultural consistency for settings with onsens or hot spring lots.

Community Feedback
Users who play in Japanese or East Asian-styled lots or use hot spring builds often favor this mod. Some players note that it helps with immersion, especially in roleplay or storytelling. There are occasional comments about compatibility with other mods that affect NPC outfit rules.

About the Creator
Cepzid Ferdiana is a creator who shares many small but meaningful mods and CC to refine animations, outfit behavior, and visual presentation in The Sims 4.

Style
Maxis Match — the towel outfit visually blends with the game’s CAS aesthetic rather than being ultra-realistic or hyper-detailed.
