Granite Falls - laundry not working.
I set up Forest Hideaway with laundry; washer/dryer combo and hamper, as well as a tub outside. When the Sims changed clothes, nothing happened. Here is how I had the room set up. https://i...

Hey all, I see some others from EA beat me to it, but I wanted to stop in and add my own note. What has already been shared is correct... while you can place laundry objects on any lot, generating laundry when changing clothes will only happen when on your Sim's home lot. Similarly, you'll only get the laundry buffs when changing your clothing while on your home lot. If you've placed laundry objects in Granite Falls, and you bring your dirty clothing along with you, you're welcome to wash and dry them there - the same way you can on any other lot.
I don't recall what I specifically said during the livestream, but it's entirely possible I got the details on how this works in Granite Falls wrong. There was a point during development of the pack where laundry would still be generated in Granite Falls and on retail lots, as behind the scenes in the game's code they're considered "owned" lots, which sometimes means the same thing in the game's logic as your home lot. We did work to ensure laundry would only be generated on your home lot to preserve consistent behavior of the feature across the game, as well as to avoid a number of edge case issues that temporary ownership of other lots could generate when interacting with the laundry system.
Hope that helps; let me know if you have other questions.
Thanks so much! That is very helpful. Eliza Pancakes now has Bob's slob-pile of clothes in her inventory, so we shall see how she likes doing laundry while on holiday. (I think I read you right on that one!)
Understood re bleed-over problems that could develop with temp. ownership. Makes sense.
