@Mak27 what do you think of wringer washers in the games for players that wents to create an amish style family its also an off the grid style washer since its not automatic since it requires to be filled manualy and the sims have to turn on agitation and manualy start the pump to drain the wash water?

I like off the grid stuff. I wish there was a way to keep the wet clothes from being in the rain, tho.

You can put them on a porch and disguise the clothes stand with columns.

We already have a laundry pack? I feel lost here. There’s a swatch on the machines for coin operation-though it’s not functional in terms of costing simoleans, and we have the washtub for off the grid. Why would they “add” something we already have?

the point of this idea thread is to add more content to the laundry theme i like laundry day stuff pack but not much choice in term of washers and dryers if you compare to the sims3 that had diffrent model choices

Exactly. Can we also add more makeshift stuff, as well? I doubt an eco Sim would like the current washer and dryer, plus they consume more electricity than Vlad consumes blood.

But...we have the washtub as an eco option. I still don't understand why anyone thinks they would spend time and money to make a pack they already made. It doesn't make sense.

My idea was more so you can craft it with eco parts, but anyways. We used to have three different washers and dryers in 3. We could add different soaps to enhance how clean the stuff is, or even add a laundromat. There are things they could've done but didn't . :smile:

I had a thread a long time ago about laundry options. Some of the image links are now broken, but this is the thread. Can't reply to it w/o breaking necroposting rules though: https://forums.thesims.com/en_us/discussion/226129/more-laundry-washer-dryer-options

I'd like to see those all-in-one machines where the dryer is connected to the washing machine (not just stacked). Top load washer, front-load dryer combo.

They also make them both front-load

A funny idea is a washing machine on top of the toilet. The water from it is used to flush the toilet.

My biggest request is laundry machine pedestals. This is a stock image of my IRL set.

Ironing boards that fold down from the wall would be cool. I really wish the original laundry pack had included more stuff. We need more hampers, methods of drying, styles of washers, etc.

A laundromat would be nice. Or a communal laundry room in an apartment complex.

In the past other people suggested manual wringers for clothes. That would be neat.

Glad you found the ringer pic. I remember someone in my thread mentioning getting her arm stuck in a wringer. I could see that happening to sims. An electric wringer for an older setting or a hand-crank one for off-grid would be nice.
Some regular laundry baskets would also be good.
I had to find a sketchup model for the style we have (although they are starting to break after 30+ years)

These kinds are also good

Obviously they come in a variety of colors but I just grabbed the first images I could find.

While wicker ones look cool, they are terrible for clothes bc they snag everything. As a kid I had a wicker laundry basket with a panther head (woven out of wicker).

A washing machine box (for water supply and drain) that could cut into the wall would be neat.
