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.

Update 02/02/2026: Added uv_1 and no longer shows transparent when MXAO is enabled within ReShade.
Removed live-drag - it was too annoying for me; if you want to keep live-drag, and don't use MXAO, feel free to keep using the old file.
