Yep I have this problem as well. I can only fill hygiene with baths. All showers are broken. They won't fill hygiene and they also don't have the timer around the interaction the green bar thingy. As of right now my Sims are using cheats to keep hygiene from getting low. This issue appeared on a new save with the latest patch.

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time a sim takes a shower with the shower/tub combo.
What is your current game version number? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Parenthood, Toddler Stuff, City Living, Cats & Dogs.
Steps:
How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a sim take a shower through a tub/shower combination.
What happens when the bug occurs? If they are taking a shower, they will shower forever if I do not do something along the lines of "reset sim."
What do you expect to see? The hygiene bar to go up and a timer around the action.
Do you have any Custom Content or Mods installed? Yes, multiple mods and CC.
Please describe the patch or change you made before the problem began: I found it started after I installed Cats & Dogs, which was only yesterday. The shower/tub combo initially worked in game, and I went through and got rid of all broken CC and the problem persists. My hypothesis is that it may be the recent patch, or how the patch is affecting users with Cats & Dogs installed?

@John_ZonbiYou should double-check the standalone showers. Most people are only having this problem with the shower-tub combos. If you're really having a problem with all showers you should probably open a new thread for the standalone showers.

Same thing is happening to me with the combo.I don't like installing mods just to fix things.

@01nope01 I've had Cats & dogs for ages without this issue occuring. It started to occur recently, after the latest patch update. So I would be very surprised if it has anything to do with this expansion pack.

Is there a fix for this?

I recently had this issue but I don't believe it came from the patch as I hadn't installed it yet. I had bought Discover University and Realm of Magic.

The shower Double Delight is not working. When I use the shower option of the Double Delight then the sim is taking a shower but hygiene is not going up at least in Oasis Spring where I have tested the shower at 2 different lots. I have replaced the shower with the cheapest standard shower and this one works like expected. I use no cc & no mods and have all packs installed and the sims 4 is updated to the newest version.
