Do you place laundry machines in your homes?

I have a hamper and washing machine and dryer in a room. My sims aren't very messy and most of their clothes go into the hamper. But so far, I haven't had the time for my sims to do laundry. :D I don't play the game that much, if you could not tell. LOL.

Always, I usually make my sims do laundy on fridays or saturdays, but I wish there was a quick way to collect dirty clothes.

I do, pretty much always. I put hampers in each bedroom and in any bathroom that is large enough to have them. I actually use a mod so that slobs and teens (and younger) do not automatically put clothes in the hamper so that I get piles despite having enough hampers.

The maid usually collects all the piles of clothes though and I pretty much get a maid for every household too, so piles of laundry aren't ever an issue. I do lock the door to keep the maid away from the washer/dryer though, because my game glitches and she causes them to stop functioning if I let her actually do the laundry. For people that don't experience the glitch...the maid will do the laundry for you. Patchy does a nice job of doing the laundry too, for those households that have him in their garden.

Doing the actual laundry is not a big deal. I just have a sim start a load of laundry in the morning right after waking up, before shower/breakfast/etc. I have them throw it in the dryer whenever it is convenient or right before bed if I don't get to it before then. Then I have them empty the dryer the next time they are at the machines starting a new load...so basically just need to make 2 trips to the washer/dryer in any given day. Again, though, i use a mod that makes them start the load of wash when loading it automatically, and same with dryer....it's stupid we have to do the extra clicks for those actions without a mod.

For larger houses, I usually have a dedicated laundry room, which I place in the basement. For smaller houses and apartments, I usually just get the stacking washer/dryer and put it in one of the bathrooms.

How frequently I do all this depends on the household size. For a single sim or two, it will be at most twice a week, for a household of 4 or more sims, I usually make it a daily routine, though I will miss a day now and again.

Honestly, Laundry is one of the things I miss most in any new iteration of the Sims, until it gets added...near the top of my list after seasons/weather and pets. Things don't feel real enough without having the routine of laundry.

I don't. I never wanted laundry and only got that pack because the other stuff was cute. I've only placed the stuff to do laundry once or twice.

I always use laundry items. I also have a mod to increase the hamper capacity to 100 instead of 20 because I play large families and I got tired of my sims doing laundry every day. Now my sims only need to do laundry about once at week which I think is more realistic.

It depends on the household. If I have a grandma or a stay-at-home mom whose main functions are to cook and look after the house, I put it in. If I have a single sim where I want to concentrate on their career or relationships, then I usually won't. So, it varies depending on if I feel like laundry will add to the gameplay of whatever sims I have in the house.

I just got the Laundry pack a few days ago, and I love it. I like being able to add fragrance to the wash(one says you can add food I think, lol, haven't tried this one but was tempted to add a fish haha)

I have only one Sim and he is very neat and I saved up for the Never Weary trait, so he only changes when he takes a shower or goes to work.

I have said this before but I did not want or vote for laundry. I was disappointed when it won the vote for the community pack. However, I love it. Everyone of my households has laundry. I do not know why I enjoy it so much. I should be bored with it by now but I enjoy it just as much today as the day I got the pack.

I do make things easier by putting two or three hampers in a row in the laundry area of my larger households. It just looks like a laundry sorter. Then my hampers are not spread all over and my sim is not having to run all over the house to do the laundry. It makes things so much easier.

Also the washing machine can hold all the laundry from all the hampers in one load. It feels more realistic for me to wash each hamper separately but if you are in a time crunch everything can be washed in just one load.

I regularly place a washer and dryer usually with a hamper in each of the bedrooms or bathrooms I didn't even vote for laundry and I use it a ton.

I did in Sims 2, when they were just decorative objects, but in Sims 3 they made the game more tedious. I've never tried them in Sims 4 but imagine they'd be similarly tedious. (Although I did have nudist sims in TS3 when they ran out of laundry, and that was hilarious.)
