[B42:SP/MP] Take A Bath And Shower

[h1]If you encounter minor issues or bugs, please first test this mod in isolation or with a minimal mod list. Then, please report the issue. Doing so makes it easier to investigate the cause of the issues.[/h1]

This mod was developed with this theme in mind.

Bathing and showering in Project Zomboid should feel meaningful.

This mod adds fully playable bath and shower mechanics, and gives them a real place in day-to-day survival. Bathing is not just flavor. It can become part of how you stay comfortable, clean, and in good condition over time.

Is washing yourself in a sink, or even a toilet, really enough to feel clean? You might survive without proper bathing, but it should not feel ideal.

Detailed feature notes are listed in the guide because of the Workshop character limit.

This Mod Guide

Items

I intentionally did not make these required, but I strongly recommend them because they support important parts of this mod.

General Compatibility

• Automatic clothing change is designed to work with most body mods.
• Tomb's Player Body Overhaul - one of my personal favorites, and the one used in the screenshots.
