wash face and sanitize hands 🤪

this mod allows your sims to wash their faces at sinks and sanitize their hands with wall dispensers or portable hand sanitizer.

base game compatible
requires lot51 core library

upd. aug. 31, 2026:
- slightly adjusted the facial cleanser’s appearance and disappearance in the animation.

by downloading this mod, you get three functional items.
all three can be found in build mode, in the "bathroom accents" category.

wash face

- age group: teen to elder.
- the interaction is available by clicking on a sink or on the facial cleanser.
- the sink interaction can be used by all sims, even if they haven't bought the cleanser.
- 7 swatches, not all shown in the picture.

by default, the cleanser in the animation will have a white texture. if you want a cleanser in a different color, buy it and place it in your sim's inventory.

outcome:
- increases the hygiene motive;
- slightly increases the energy motive;
- cures acne for teens ('high school years' ep);
- removes makeup applied at a vanity table;
- increases responsibility for teens ('parenthood' gp);
- custom buff.

autonomy:
- when hygiene is low;
- in the morning, from 6:00 to 10:00;
- if the sim does not have the slob trait.

portable hand sanitizer

- age group: child to elder.
- the interaction is available by clicking on the hand sanitizer or on the sim, if the object is in the sim's inventory.
- to use it, your sim needs to buy it first.
- 3 swatches.

outcome:
- increases the hygiene motive, like washing hands;
- custom buff.

autonomy:
- when hygiene is low;
- if the sim doesn't have the slob trait.

"offer hand sanitizer": if you click on the object while it is in your sim's inventory, you can offer another sim to use your sanitizer.

wall sanitizer dispenser

- age group: child to elder.
- the interaction is available by clicking on the custom object.
(this is a decorative item from the get to work expansion pack that i made functional)
- 6 swatches (including several new textures).

outcome and autonomy are the same as for the portable hand sanitizer.

list of mods with similar features, so you have more options to choose from:
mods with a "wash face" interaction:
- self care mod by qmbibi;
- wash face at sinks by shushu, updated by sonozakisisters.
i've only seen functional hand sanitizer as part of "functional handbag" by utopya.

download:

1. download the first file if you want the "wash face" interaction in your game.

2. download the second file if you want any hand sanitizer interactions in your game, both portable hand sanitizer and wall sanitizer dispensers

3. download the third file if you want your sims to buy these items using a computer. it adds a new computer category, and i also added facial masks to this category.

4. download the fourth file if you want the wall sanitizer dispenser, but you don't have the "get to work". this is the base game version with a new custom object.

5. download the fifth file if you want the wall sanitizer dispenser and you have the "get to work" and want the original object to become functional.
