You should be able to get furniture to raise motives by editing the ITUN (0x03B33DDF) for the interaction you wish to change the motives. I was able to edit the Take Shower/Take Bath ITUN files to increase fun while in the shower by doing the following.
<Change type="Fun" advertised="1000" locked="True" actual="10000" updateType="ContinuousFlow" timeDependsOn="False" updateEvenOnFailure="False" updateAboveAndBelowZero="Either" />
I just stuck it on the end of the output section for each shower/tub although there could be a generic ITUN that'll do it for all objects using that ITUN.

I'd imagine doing -your number on the actual= part would reduce the motive. You'd just have to change the Change type= to match what you want it to do.
Also you might not want to put 1000 as your advertised value. I just realized that this is a bad idea myself since no controlled Sims now use the shower obsessively to the point that I watched two of them play musical showers by getting out of one shower and into the other. :lol:
