@@claragrandey8782 You need to have a wall mounted shower, either from Discover University or Snowy Escape. And you also need to have Move Objects on. If you’re having trouble making everything fit, you can opt to only have a toilet and shower and your Sims will use the Kitchen sink. Put the shower in front of the door since your Sims can walk through it, and scoot your toilet and sink as far as you can into the wall without them poking out the other side. You can also shrink the sink one size and it’ll still work, and it makes fitting it in easier. Hope that helps!

@@claragrandey8782 you can definitely get a standard shower and toilet to work in a 1X3, if not a 1X2. If you have jungle adventure, that shower has very slim shower walls and works really well shoved into the wall with Move Objects, so that might give you the most space.
