Has anyone successfully found anything that stops that dryer from breaking down after every second use? I've had my Sim fully upgrade it, still breaking. Also how many times do I have to get my Sims to do the dry interaction before it does it? It's getting ridiculous, I put it on while a wash load went in, came back and dryer hadn't dried the clothes but washing was finished. Thinking I might have wasted my money on this pack.

I find it 'breaks' a lot game code wise, as in it's not showing as broken, but it no longer responds to any interractions.I'm very often having to go into build mode and place out a new one, delete the old one, and use a cheat to keep my sim's money the same - because a washer or dryer has just stopped working.If it breaks as a part of the game, I have my sim's repair it - and this does happen an absurdly frequent amount of the time...Enough so that if I could figure out making mods I'd make a pricey one with higher reliability.

I haven’t used laundry for several months, but when I did, I would just get rid of the problem clothes. Certain loads of laundry just got bugged, and I let them drop it on the floor and I sold it through their inventory. I wish they’d fix it, but that’s been my preferred workaround.

Am I the only one annoyed that you have to do an extra click once you put the laundry in the washer or dryer? I wish they automatically turned it on themselves once you directed them to load each! Just a very small extra step that annoys me greatly ha. I have also experienced these bugged dryers you are all speaking of too. Frustrating!!

The bugged dryer is really annoying, especially when it is fully upgraded. I also normally just get rid of the clothes pile and that usually takes care of it. The frequency of it breaking down when it isn't bugging out is crazy though.

Most of my houses are fine, but I have one where I'm constantly replacing a non-working dryer and another where it constantly catches fire. In the second case, I was checking in on the family and while I was there, I got the "Fire!" popup 4 times and it was the dryer each time. Happened with three different Sims in the house. Since I never told them to even do laundry, it was weird. I ended up taking all of the laundry stuff out of the house.

I went through all of the effort once to upgrade all of my Sim's upgradeables- appliances, fireplaces, beds. I also built and fully upgraded a rocket. Then I saved the lot to my library and when I placed it again, nothing was upgraded. The rocket wasn't even built. I was so mad about wasting all that time and money that I rarely upgrade things anymore.

I do have the same issues (I solve them with mods, but we shouldn't have to).

In the end I got rid of the dryer and put this in the garden shed and it's made such a difference to my game. I got rid of the clothes lines in the garden because they can't really use them in winter. No puddles in the shed so I might move this to the laundry room https://thesimmer40.tumblr.com/post/176810010459/indoor-clothesline

Yeah, I've noticed this too. It's really irritating. :# I do the same as babajayne.

I find that both washer and dryer break a lot and have glitchy issues.

The Dryer has been the cause of death of many a Sim in my game...

I sometimes have to do it 2-3 times before it gets dried and I do wait to see it's turning the washing round before my sim walks away

I almost never have a problem with the dryer, but I always install Lint Free and Tungsten Drum upgrades. The Tungsten upgrade makes the dryer (and washer) unbreakable.
My washing machine bugs out sometimes and claim there is no working washing machine on the lot. This is fixed by Resetting the Laundry BIN, not the machine.

I got my Sim to obtain handiness to 10 and upgraded everything, I even used buydebug to get the parts. Fully upgraded now.
