Functional Victorian Washstand

This is a washstand by Kerrigan House Designs, and since released, I dreamed of it being a functional wash basin. I imagined how I could do it, but I lacked the know-how.

NOT ANYMORE!

With the help of Serinion's "Ablution Chamber Basin", I have managed to make this function as a proper bedroom basin, for your sims to do their daily wash!

There's a misconception that Victorians and previous generations didn't bathe at all - the truth is that they didn't sit in a bath, or a stand in a shower on a regular basis; what they did do, is WASH. This is where they would have a basin and jug in their bedroom, and they would use this to wash their smelly parts - or any other part of their body they wished to clean.

This basin functions as a sink - you can brush your teeth, wash your hands, shave your face; as well as take a "sponge bath" OFF THE GRID.

I have added the "Sponge Bath" interaction by connecting the basin with Cepzid's "Sponge Bath at Sink" Mod - so it is required in order for this to work.

Another feature is the mirror; it's impossible for the functioning sink to be in the same file as a mirror; and KHD's washstand did not feature a real mirror. So, I have created a separate mirror that just slots into place. Once placed, it will move with the stand, so you don't have to move things separately.

In Build/Buy, I have put the washstand and the mirror in the plumbing category, right next to each-other, so that you don't have to search around, and go different places to put it all together:

There's six different swatches, which will hopefully fit nicely in whichever room you want to place it!

I have also put lots of slots by the water jug, so you can place soaps and towels or other knick-knacks as you please.

To use this wash stand, you will need:

Functional Victorian Wash Basin

Your new favourite basin and jug!

While working on some Sims 2 > Sims 4 conversions, I found this deco wash basin by Parsimonious, part of their "Monte Carlo" bedroom set, and fell in love with it!

So, once again, with the help of Serinion's "Ablution Chamber Basin", I have made this a functioning wash basin for The Sims 4!

This basin functions as a sink - you can brush your teeth, wash your hands, shave your face; as well as take a "sponge bath" OFF THE GRID.

I have added the "Sponge Bath" interaction by connecting the basin with Cepzid's "Sponge Bath at Sink" Mod - so it is required in order for you to wash the body.

There's five different porcelain colours, each with five different towel colours:

I just love the texture of the light coloured ones; in case you aren't aware, there can only be one "normal map" per .package file - the normal map adds extra 3D texture in game; so, even though the details aren't coloured, you can still see outlines, like it has been made a part of the porcelain. Very beautiful!!!

Originally I had just done the top four colours, then realised I also HAD to do a blue porcelain as well.

The basin slots onto any surface, so you can place it on a counter; a table; a dresser etc. HOWEVER, annoyingly, the animation location can't be changed - so in some instances the sim's hand will go through the bowl itself (If anyone knows if I can actually change this, please reach out!!!).

Just like my Functional Victorian Washstand, to make all this work, you need:

And, of course, if you want to shave your face, you can now use my Automatic Beards mod - fully base game compatible.

Valentine Functional Washstand

The "Functional Victorian Washstand" has been very popular, and I am constantly looking to find nice things to make functional.

Another thing I'm constantly doing is looking at 3D models on Sketchfab - both for inspiration, and also to see if I can use anything for The Sims.

I found a low poly washstand by Valentine van Steenbergen on Sketchfab, which I really liked, and am allowed to use with attribution. being quite low poly, I did add more vertices etc. in order for bits to look more rounded - but I also added some other features: a candle holder, a towel, a little soap shelf, a slottable mirror, and of course - water and tuning to make the basin functional (with the help of Serinion's "Ablution Chamber Basin").

This basin functions as a sink - you can brush your teeth, wash your hands, shave your face; as well as take a "sponge bath" OFF THE GRID.

I have added the "Sponge Bath" interaction by connecting the basin with Cepzid's "Sponge Bath at Sink" Mod - so it is required in order for this to work.

There are 22 swatches - 11 wood colours, each of these having silver or gold hardware.

Just like the "Functional Victorian Washstand", there is a separate mirror which you can slot into place, and for convenience I have placed these in the same category as -and right next to- the washstand itself:
