Baby / Toddler Wipes - Toddlers Hygiene Overhaul Mod [Progress Journal]
Why this modThis mod idea only came up this week. The background story can be found here: https://modthesims.info/showthread....841#post5718841
In short @SimsKtar has inspired me to develop a functional object, "wipes" for babies and toddlers, that can fix their low Hygiene motive, without actually impacting their low Bladder motive. The more I've been thinking about this mod, the more logical it seems to expand into a "Toddlers Hygiene Overhaul" mod that primarily focuses on increasing interactions for toddlers, that fill up their Hygiene motive exclusively.
Note: The autonomy for such interactions should be tunable with the goal of making their use very autonomous if wanted.
Ideas and plans I have so far:
#1. Baby / Toddler Wipes Functional Object Mod
#2. Toddler-height sinks + toddlers can use sinks
#3. Toddlers can use baths (@twinsimming said she is working on this - just listing this idea because I'm a Type A simmer - not even sorry for that - and like to make exhaustive lists)
#1. Baby / Toddler Wipes Functional Object Mod
Arsil's Legacy Mod Style
My good friend @SimShai91 loves (that's a euphemism, trust me) Arsil's "diaper overhaul" system where he uses ATS3 Sandy's 2x decor objects, one is a "diaper box" and one is a "diaper" object. When they are in the caretaker sim's inventory, s.he is charged for using the diapers. Link for reference: https://modthesims.info/download.ph...441#post5192441
I believe to keep a jamaican girl happy (that'd be SimShai), I'd need to explore how to create such a system setup for the wipes. I know that CC modders could do absolute *wonders* in terms of decor furniture, especially if it could be "transmogrified" into a functional object (reference to the Transmogrifier mod hosted here on MTS).
My dream goal will be to try and create a "script class", that content creators will be able to apply to any object, to turn their decor "multi baby wipes bag" and "single baby wipe" decor objects into fully functional, can-be-charged-for baby wipes that impact the toddlers Hygiene need.
I know ATS3 Sandy has a "baby bag" donators-only CC object, which could help test stuff on a CC object.
However, I haven't found a "single baby wipe" object so let me know if you find one.
More Arsil's Legacy Mod Style
I believe Simshai suggested I make the baby wipes buyable at the grocery store, for realism sake, using Arsil's "Chewing Gum" mod. I need to look into whether and how I can make this happen. Link to mod for reference: https://modthesims.info/d/539543/chewing-gum.html.
"Wipe [Toddler name] Face and Hands / Body"
Firstly, create the interaction on the Store's changing table. It would fill only the Hygiene bar of the target toddler (no Bladder bar fill). "Wipe.. Face and Hands" would give a small Hygiene bar boost. "Wipe... Body" would fill up completely the Hygiene bar.
Secondly, I may look into creating a tunable value for simmers who may want to increase the LTR points between the caretaker who wipes the baby/toddler's faces and hands (or body), and the target baby/toddler, much like @NonaMena breastfeeding mod tuning file.

#2. Toddler-height sinks + toddlers can use sinks
A really cute sight for the simmer would be those preschool sinks that are designed for toddlers height! And of course to look into the game code, see how toddlers could wash their hands on sinks without stretching. The interaction would fill up their Hygiene bar.
Bonus: Toddlers can brush teeth
It'd seem logical that since higher age phases can fill up their Hygiene bar when using a toothbrush, "toddler sinks" could have the interaction for them - or maybe it could be a script class for bathroom clutter objects becoming functional with that "brush my teeth" interaction (think: toddler-sized toothpaste CC). The interaction would fill up their Hygiene bar. (Maybe mirrors could have that too, not sure it's my focus though.)
#3. Toddlers can use baths
@twinsimming is working on this so will happily be supporting that project!
That's plenty! Hoping to progress slowly but surely through this over the next few months. Wish me luck! Will report back below as i test stuff and wrangle with the code.

Woot woot! So excited to see this develop.
Found one baby wipe cc https://www.thesimsresource.com/dow...ter/id/1144298/ but it also has a bottle and shirt thing attached.

For reference, found "Parent Choices Baby Wipes" over at YourDorkBrains website:
https://www.yourdorkbrains.com/2018...set-part-3.html
Still no "single baby wipe" CC though. Will start a WCIF thread.
