[BY DESIGN] [LDSP] No laundry interactions for 1 household only

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.52.100.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, Get Together, Get to Work, City Living, Get Famous, Cats and Dogs, Dine Out, Outdoor Retreat, Parenthood, Spa Day, Backyard Stuff, Bowling Night Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Fitness Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff, Luxury Party Stuff, My First Pet Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff, Toddler Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It occurs randomly.
What happens when the bug occurs? For just one of my households, there is no laundry hamper interaction and the only interaction that comes up with the washer/dryer is "Upgrade."
What do you expect to see? The options to add clothes to washing machine, search pockets, etc.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

This issue is only coming up with one household. All of my other households in the same save game have hampers and washers/dryers that are working normally. I've tried to sell and rebuy all of the hampers and washer and dryer, move the shelves from over the washer and dryer, repair the game, clear the cache, and do a factory reset. I'm not sure what else I can do at this point. I also read that this issue was fixed with a patch a while ago but my game was working fine before the patch came out and didn't start until long after.

    I am having the same issue.  The house is in Island Paradise. This is a stackable unit.  I am not sure, if this occurs with the non stackable units.  The sim starts the laundry and then the laundry seams to finish (or not).  There is no visible laundry in the machine.  Then all interactions with laundry machine disappear.  I can't do laundry again. The only option that is visible is upgrade, but when I try to click on it it says that the machine is not available (as if laundry was in it).  Like I said no laundry is visible.  The machine becomes unusable and hamper gets filled. No interactions with hamper are available. The house fills with dirty laundry.  I have seen this complaint before and it said it is fixed. It is not.  I replaced the machine 3 times and after 1-2 washes it happens again. The only thing that fixes it is getting a new unit every wash.  I would hardly call that a solution. I do not use mods or cc.  This game is boring without them (it's vanilla pudding, perpetually happy, no story progression, glitchy snoozer.  That is a different complaint though), but I have to replace, disable or remove any mods any time something is not working, which is every time I play. 

    Ps: I just saw your laundry list of glitches.  It is baffling how showering in the rain takes precedence over cancellation of assigned tasks (which my sims do all the time making this game nearly unplayable) and inappropriate sim action (pushups during weddings etc.) or simulation lag.  Sims 3 had an open neighborhood that created lag and crashing to desktop, but without open neighborhood this game  should work better, but instead beats it in glitches by a mile. 

  • I've tried deleting and putting back the washing machine and dryer and that worked! try that.
