Wash your @#$%ing hands! No toilet geniuses! Some Toilet Mods

You know, ever since TS1 I always just had my sims use the toilet, then immediately hop into the shower. Heck many times I don't even bother having sinks in my sims homes. I just find it more efficient that way. Realistic no, efficient, yes.
Since I first started playing the game, way back in the day, on a PS1, this is exactly what I've done, too. Every sim follows the same exact routine every day for their entire lives: Wake up, eat, poop, shower, live, eat, poop, bed, then repeat. When space is at a premium, I don't bother with sinks, but once they've "made it", I usually put them in for realism, even if they don't use them.

Now I will say that brushing teeth actually has some benefit in this game since you get the minty fresh breath moodlet that increases your mood a bit.
I've been looking into a way to increase autonomy of this but I've honestly got no idea, the only mod I've made for it so far made the game stupid.
Washing hands bumps the hygiene bar up a bit, so it's pretty dandy for dirt defiant sims (and not that bad for other varieties). Sinks can get pretty respectable hygiene ratings now, though the animation is short.
I tend to have them shower after utilising toilets, but I can't yet figure out a way to make an enqueued shower override hand washing (a la twojeff's hand washing mod for TS2).

If you really wanted to be that way, closing the lid has, statistically, not been shown to help at all because the lid does not seal airtight. What you SHOULD do is drop a plasma grenade in and run.
If you don't have a plasma grenade, a Willy Pete makes a good second choice.

Didn't know we had so many germophobes on this site, The only time I wash my hands is when I am about to eat something, but doubt it helps much considering I must turn off the faucet which the knobs are likely covered in germs.
edit: Not that I got anything against the mod, just found it interesting some people's stories of cleanliness.

My immune system sees any foreign contaminate and decides to kill it with fire. I'd rather not live my entire life with a low-grade fever, thank you.

I don't use paper towels or dryers, but I do wash. I just don't want to touch something that thousands of unknowns have touched right after I wash my hands. I use my sleeve to open the door and then air dry.
I recently read on some baby-site (cuz I has one so that was the scope) that new studies have shown that bacteria is less often transferred from parent to child when they wash and dry their hands often rather than if they just wash and don't dry. Don't remember the reasoning for it, though. It just came to mind.
My only guess is the moisture still on your hands brings a jerkstore full of germs back as soon as you touch the door knob or whatever else is in the bathroom. Dryer hands might not attract as much upon contact with various objects. I think its a good idea to cycle towels into your laundry at least once or twice a week though.
Also, I always use anti-bacteria soap which I definitely recommend 1) because it kills most of the germs and 2) because I work for a soap company.
Yeah, that's why I use my sleeve. It cracks me up when I see someone take so much care to wash their hands thoroughly, then touch a towel dispenser knob that's been around the block and back, then grasp a door handle with their hands that a bunch of dirty-handed kids and adults have just touched.
