So, I bring you real "Thirsty" bath mats - "the Thirstiest Bath Mats". A set of bathroom mats that do get rid of the puddles your sloppy Sims create when taking a shower.
This set includes three new objects from me,
- 1x1 Bath/Shower Mat
- 2x1 Bath/Shower Mat
- Corner Shower Mat
- "Bathroommate footrug" (toilet pedestal shaped rug)

All four objects have been created/modified to get rid of puddles on and around the mat. These puddles might appear due to sloppy Sim showering; leaks due to blocked toilets and broken taps; puddles from toddlers playing in the toilet, or in fact any other puddle that ends up created one way or another. I learned a lot about Puddles in making these objects. You will still see puddles forming, however with one of these mats in place, the puddles will soon shrink and disappear. It can take between 15 and 40 Sim minutes for the puddle to notice it has been told to disappear and actually do it.
Here are some puddle maps to show where puddles are cleared from the bathroom floor.
This set of objects can be found in Decorative - Rugs
Where to find them if you don't have Decorative - Rugs in the catalog
If you are playing either the Base game only, or Base+University EP, you can find these objects in Decorative - All, or more quickly, via the room sorting, through Bathroom - Decorative (less objects to hunt through that way).
Cheers

Update History
05Feb2009
- Fixed a bug which only shows up when you have testing cheats enabled which causes an error when a Sim is trying to mop up a puddle which the mat is trying to evaporate. Doesn't actually cause an issue without testing cheats enabled, so I don't believe it is necessary to redownload, but wanted to fix it for any new downloaders.
Polygon Counts:
- 1x1 Bath/Shower Mat - Faces=28, Vertices=22
- 2x1 Bath/Shower Mat - Faces=52, Vertices=56
- Corner Shower Mat - Faces=300, Vertices=242
- "Bathroommate footrug" - Faces=4, Vertices=8 (as per Maxis Object)

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Expansion pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Two Bathroommate Footrugs would be an even better choice! Give your feet the rest and comfort they deserve while you do your duty. This Bathroommate Footrug is even thirstier than ever and will also soak up those nasty puddles that come from spending longer than intended in that bathroom!
