[NEEDS INPUT] [LDSP] Laundry appliances not working properly on off-the-grid lot
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.134.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play with the off the grid trait with enough energy producing appliances. When you have electricity try and load and then start washing/drying machine. The bug happens when the electricity goes off mid-cycle, so use many electrical appliances at once.
What happens when the bug occurs? When the electricity supply ends and the washing/drying machines from Laundry Day are in the middle of a cycle, the laundry breaks. The first couple times it happened it would mark the laundry as clean, but when I dried it it would mark it as dirty. The last time it happened the laundry got stuck inside the washing machine and I couldn’t move it out or restart the cycle, nor add more laundry. Reset objects did not work and it makes the feature completely unusable off the grid.
What do you expect to see? To be able to restart the cycle from where it was stopped, or at least from the beginning.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The eco lifestyle patch
Washing machines and dryers are very buggy with an off the grid trait if the electricity ends mid-cycle. I’ve been playing a couple sim-weeks with the new EP and restarted the game many times, but still haven’t been able to finish a single laundry cycle as the laundry gets either stuck inside the appliances, or becomes dirty and dry or clean and wet randomly. Sometimes the pile becomes dirty and dry AND clean and wet, making it impossible to either wash or dry. The only way to get rid of the bugged laundry is to sell the hamper or appliances. All other electric appliances work fine.
