This report will have numerous issues I am encountering as this happens across my whole game, not just one lot or household.
So I have tested that items I upgrade in any way will break constantly while items not upgraded don’t so often. Eco Lifestyle Action Plan demanded to make appliances energy efficient but Inspector always says household isn’t in compliance. Unbreakable items break. This includes washer, dryer, dishwasher, robot vacuums, stereos, refrigerator that I can think of atm.
Washer will say can’t add clothes while it visibly is empty as well as no option move clothing to dryer.
Clothing that is in washer that is clean/wet will say either used/dirty when put in the dryer. Putting back in the washer will not give option to wash, only to put in dryer or put down.
Dishwasher will continually run, will give option to load dishwasher so it just seems the washing animation is just stuck. Going to another lot doesn’t reset it but when going in the game after being closed will.
Coffee/tea makers will stink but won’t allow to be emptied because it will say it’s still brewing.
This is all I can think of at the top of my head but will add more if I’m reminded again during gameplay.
Again, multiple items, different lots, different households
Edit: Also needing to add hot tubs as well
