How to fill proper laundry in the Sims 4!

The Laundry Day Stuff pack was released in 2017. New laundry machines and clotheshangers were added. But in this thread I'll be showing you all about laundry!

So to get a pile of laundry, when a Sim changes their clothes, and a hamper is on the lot, a pile of "mess looking" clothers in inside a hamper, like trash in a trash can.

After clothes are in the hamper, just direct the Sim to add them to the washer, then turn the washer on. Clothes spinning in the washer is good news.
Sims who change clothes in a full hamper will leave clothe piles on the ground.

When the clothes stop spinning, guide the Sim to the dryer, then turn it on as well when it is full. Then wait for drying to finished, and unload it, and the Sim will throw the clothes up, vanishing it. Now be very careful of not unloading clothes quickly. If your Sim leaves the clothes unattended for too long then quality gradually goes down and can make your Sim in a moody situation.

The quality of fresh dried clothes go as here in decending order being the most dirty: Pristine - Clean - Used - Dirty - Filthy
Dirty or Filthy clothes will be more common if the Sim changes clothes in a low Hygiene mood.

Dryness is the second factor in used clothes and goes in this decending order from dry to soaked - Dry and Warm - Dry - Damp - Soaked
The Dryness quality will be lower if a Sim changes outfits, just after getting in a pool.

Fragrance is the smell of clothing - flies signal a smell. Fragrant - No Fragrance - Foul. Butterflies are signaled by fragrance.

There are a few upgrades to the washer and dryer that will help with doing laundry:

Presoak for the washers: The washer will have higher chances of "Pristine" quality with the minor expense of slower washing.

Whisper Silent: Just makes dtyers run more silently
Same for Whisper Quiet for washers.

Lint-Less: Lint will no longer be a factor for dryers, which makes laundry run faster. This also makes the dryer immune to fire, due to high lint.

Laundry addictive tray - Now Sim can add Flowers or Food to make the scent of washed laundry. If food is added, will make a foul scent and flowers a good scent. Also Sim with 4 Mischief skill can add extra soap, breaking the washer. The Sim can also use a wash tub to scent the laundry free of upgrades.


Speed Cycle - Makes washers and dryers wash more quick.

Tungsten Drum: Just reduces how often they break for wash and dry.

Lastly, Sims can watch the laundry which can make them dizzy. A chime plays after completion. High chimes mean good outcomes. and low is bad.


Sims can also use a wash tub to dry laundry the old, original ways.




Hope this helps!
