No Dirty Clothes Appearing on lot????

i have a clothes hamper in every room, and still nothing

If you have a hamper in every room dirty clothes will not appear. You'll have to click on the hamper to wash the clothes in it.

none of the hampers contain clothes. even with just one hamper. i even reinstalled it and dirty clothes still don't appear

ive had my sim wear clothes for quite a while and still nothing ive reinstalled ambitions and still no dirty clothes are appearing

Well darn.. Every time my sim changes his clothes while at home he leaves the previous outfit laying on the floor.

Goes to bed.. pile of clothes.
gets up changes to every day, pile of clothes.
goes to use the weight bench in the basement.. Yup ANOTHER pile of dirty clothes.

I had to hire a maid just to clean up after him.

If you put a laundry hamper in the bathroom and the sim changes clothes in the bathroom the dirty clothes should end up in the laundry hamper in the bathroom.

If your sim changes clothes in the bedroom but the hamper is in the bathroom then you should end up with a pile of dirty clothes in the bedroom.
In other words if the room that your sim changes clothes in has a hamper, the dirty laundry will go into that, but if they change in a room that does not have a hamper but yet you DO have a laundry hamper someplace in the house then they will leave a pile of reeking stinky laundry behind.

If you don't place a laundry hamper in your home at all, you should never end up with any dirty laundry piles in the house.

I make it a habbit now (and I don't know why since I hate doing laundry in real life) of placing a laundry hamper in both the bedroom and bathroom since that's the only places my sims change their clothes and do laundry once in a while to get the moodlet, I don't know why, I find doing laundry in the sims 3 as boring as I do in real life and the moodlet not worth the bother but I do it anyway.

Can a laundry hamper overflow onto the ground if you don't do laundry soon enough, or does it simply turn into a reeking green blob like dirty dishes left laying around for the laundry hamper?


The laundry system as listed above for me has been working 100% so far. I end up with piles of clothes in rooms that don't have a laundry hamper when there is a hamper someplace in the house but not in the same room as where the sim changes clothes, and don't get any dirtly laundry piles when there is no laundry hamper in the house.

i finally managed to fix it i think it was because i copied my entire household from a different town so i moved into a different house and now the dirty clothes appear thanks for all the help though

The hamper will get full at which point your sim will resume putting dirty clothes on the floor. I had a hamper in my bathroom get full and she started putting her dirty clothes on the floor outside of the shower every day... I thought the maid was supposed to do the laundry... apparently not... I had to make her do it herself...
Funny thing is, she picked up the clothes from the hamper in the little bag thing and got distracted on the way to the washer and dropped it on the floor. When I moved it to the hamper, it was only treated as one piece of laundry and the hamper was no longer full. I guess thats also a way to get out of doing laundry and not having a full hamper...

I wish I'd had that problem. I took all the laundry items out, because I got sick of seeing dirty clothes piles everywhere.

(edit) Sorry, my problem is the opposite of the thread title. I'll start a new thread instead...
