I ran into this issue too, and I ended up just using a regular shower rather than a bathtub/shower. And that allowed my sim's hygiene need to go up. I understand it doesn't fix the ultimate problem, buuut it's some type of solution, hope this helps

I have this same issue and so does my daughter. This needs to be fixed. Doesn't any of the staff make comments about these bugs as to if they are being looked into, fixed, etc? Being able to use the shower option is a rather important element of game play.

I have this issue too. I've tried shift-clicking to reset the shower/tub, and it still doesn't work at all.

Exact same issue here. This really sucks since I have a family with toddlers.

My adult sims can't shower. They can only take baths in shower/tub combos.
I tried to repair the game, debug the objects, and repurchase new shower/tub combos, however hygiene does not improve unless they just take a bath.

I have the same issue but only my child sims can't shower.
