How to clean a toddler? Can anyone tell me how to clean a toddler? His Hygiene level is going down and I can't figure it out. I thought you could clean toddlers in a sink, but I can't get the action to show up? Does it make a difference if the toddler is an alien?
Normally, either click on a bathtub or a sink, and the option "Give bath to [name]" should pop up. Just like clicking on the fridge gives you the option "Feed/Get bottle to/for [name]".
Babies are washed in sinks and toddlers in the bathtub. I always plan bathrooms, for homes with families, big enough to accomodate a tub or buy a tub shower combo at the first.
*eyes game* Okay, I never tried it, but my game gives me the option to bathe toddlers in sinks as well. Maybe it's a glitch. I'll just have to try and see if it works or not.
I never get the option to bathe a toddler in a sink! lol I'd seldom bother buying a tub otherwise. They take too long. Maybe I'm the one that needs to check their game. :(
Looks like I have to buy myself a bathtub then. That's going to be a challenge because I'm playing The Lone Gunmen, uh, Curious Family, and their bathroom does not have the most efficient design. Maybe I'll just get rid of a door, 2 remaining doors should be sufficient. Or I'll move the toilet to a separate new room, that could be interesting I guess. Cheers all
The Lone Gunmen have a bathroom that's more than adequately large to host a bathtub, and easily the cash reserves to purchase one, unless you've burned it all. Sack their shower and buy the most expensive combo tub/shower. Not only does it bleed less water when it inevitably breaks, but it also has level 10 hygiene, so it'll clean the fastest, resulting in faster turnaround times. If you want the ultra "high efficiency" bathroom, you can cram everything a bathroom needs to have inside of a 2x3 room: Full bathtub or shower, sink, and toilet, as well as not one, but TWO doors. The Gunmen have a bathroom that more than exceeds the necessary size. An "economy" bathroom consisting of a minimal toilet + shower can be had in a space of 3x1 or 2x2. Bathrooms can be pretty tight, which makes them easily kitted out on a budget, and gives them a nice environment score (which the headmaster likes). Another improvement you might want to consider is relocating the potty outside the bathroom: Toddlers are not old enough to have developed privacy concerns, but if the bathroom is in use at the time, certainly a likely possibility with at least 3 people living in the house with only one bathroom, the kid will be unable to use the potty.
Very interesting, I'll give it a try without calling a mason The main reason I guess that I thought it wouldn't fit was because of the diagonal doors... That's indeed a good tip. I won't move it too far away from (one of the) bathroom doors, because I believe to potty needs to be emptied in the toilet? But I'll move it out of the bathroom definitely
I got pretty sneaky when it comes to toddlers. Toddlers can't go up even a single step without an adult carrying them. So, have the toddler's room as a sunken one off the parent's room. It's easy to see (as it's considered a separate floor but you don't have to change from the main floor view to keep an eye on them.) And I got really tired of the little fellows getting into the toilet while I was attending to big sister's homework crisis or demand to have the parent read to them. Then I put everything that a toddler can need: potty, floor lamps (so that it isn't too dark, since ceiling lights don't really work in a room that's sunken like that unless it's basement deep), all their toys, their bed and changing table. I make sure that the potty is not far from the adult bathroom (so that the adult doesn't have to walk far to empty the potty and a tub is nearby.) So, it's handy and they don't have any way of getting into the kinds of trouble that they otherwise would get into. (And if they holler for someone to play with, I just direct them to play with a toy and they get over that tantrum pretty quick.)
I never had a problem with them: I find that the toddlers are easily parked on a toy, and they sort of stay there until they're about ready to pass out. This is not only effective, but good for them, since they skill in the meantime. What's MORE weird is why the kids constantly pester their parents to read to them, as if they were illiterate or something.
