Have been reminded why I almost never bother with the laundry part of that stuff pack. A sim finished a load of laundry. Clicked on dryer and the stuff is clean and dry. The unload options are to put it onto the floor or into the hamper. Wouldn't it make more sense for it to be put away normally? Is this messed up, like much of the game, or is there some object that I should have but don't.The only CC is some clothing, hair, and furniture, the only mod is MCCCThanks in advance

You need to reset your washer and dryer. Once the clothes are dry you should be able to put them away. As far as I know, only dirty or wet clothes go on the floor or into the hamper.

Yeah, it's a bug that I find quite annoying as I love adding the laundry aspect to almost all of my houses.Have to reset the items as previous poster said, but I wanted to add that it seems to happen more for me if I have them stacked. I have not tested this thoroughly yet, just feels that way.

Thanks. Had a feeling about that. EA is great on art but lousy on having things work. :(In this case they are side by side. I almost never add this feature as have enough of that IRL.

I don't use mods and rarely use cheats, so to fix this problem (for those without MCCC), I always just sell and rebuy the washer/dryer as needed. It's annoying.

You don't need mods to reset stuck objects and sims, it's a game feature.

I sometimes feel resetting the washer or dryer doesn't work. I have to buy again which sucks especially if the washer/dryer had upgrades.

If I get this option I delete the laundry.

Tried that and the option never appeared, whether empty or loaded.

What seems to have worked, so far anyway, is a bit odd. Installed a clothes ine so laundry could at least get dried. Putting dry laundry away wsa not a problem. Had another load in the washer so put that into dryer when washing done to have a loaded dryer for the reset test. Putting away worked. Somehow the clothesline working made the dryer work. At least for that gaming session.
