[FR] [LDSP]Could not put away laundry from shared space washer/dryer

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? 1.103.315.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions/game packs/stuff packs
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a washer and dryer in a shared space on a residential rental lot
What happens when the bug occurs? Pristine, dry laundry was found in the washer, could only put on ground (in a pile, not folded) or in inventory, could not put in dryer. More commonly, dirty, wet laundry is found in the dryer. This usually happens when the dryer breaks down, and that can be put in the washer and washed after being put on the ground.
What do you expect to see? Pristine, dry laundry should only be found in the dryer. It should always be able to be put away, or put down folded if for another unit.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

I haven't played enough with Laundry Day to tell if this is a pre-existing problem, or is an interaction with For Rent. I'm playing as the Cahyaputris in 09 Taka Soi 15, and have put a washer/dryer stack in the shared space along with the pre-build water heater and fuse box. When the dryer breaks down, sometimes the laundry in it is clean and dry, sometimes dirty and wet (which is peculiar, but might be rationalized as being from smoke from the broken down dryer.) This last time, neither the washer or dryer were broken, the laundry in the dryer was dirty and wet, and the laundry in the washer was pristine and dry. How that happened, I have no idea.

    I had another instance of pristine/dry laundry that couldn't be put away. This time, the laundry was in the dryer, after the dryer (which was in a shared space) had been destroyed in a fire and replaced by the property owner. (The washer, which was also destroyed in the fire and replaced, was empty, and used, dry laundry showed up in my sim's inventory.)

    After putting the pristine, dry laundry down, I was able to drag it into a hamper.

    Just realized that this time, and I think last time, I couldn't put clean/dry laundry away, I had switched to the property owner to buy the washer and dryer, so maybe that is why I couldn't put it away? It wasn't my machine?

  • @richvhI encountered this a few times on PC before For Rent, when using laundry machines at a community lot ( cafe as a laundrymat ) which was as simple as leaving to fix. ( Yep, I left the lot with laundry behind and it would show up in inventory as either clean and dry or needing dried. :-/ But show up it always did! 🙂 ) Out of curiosity have you tried leaving the lot to another then coming home? It's annoying and a huge bug if normal in For Rent obviously but curious if that may work for now?

    P.S. I had one rental as tenent myself, and with personal washer / dryer never had the issue. I did have the landlord come in and load up THEIR stuff in my machine. I ignored that as just them being them. She got awfully friendly on coming in. lol  ( I found that was caused by my basket somehow. After I moved it,  assuming, that had something to do with it I never saw that again. Or maybe it was all my laundry, I am not even sure. But yeah, she came in and did some laundry. 😉
