I thought of a good question or two concerning laundry:
1) When you change outfits outside of the home lot, where does that laundry go? Does it magically plop into the hamper at home? What about when slob sims and such change outside home? Their laundry doesn't magically go to any hamper on its own.
2) If I turn on the washer or dryer to start its laundry cycle then leave the lot for a few hrs to do something else, when I come home again will I expect the washer/dryer to finish its cycle or would leaving interrupt it and I'm forced to stay home doing laundry? That goes for anything involving a loading screen really.
Laundry isn't an experience you can have off of your home lot. So no more stealing peoples clothes when they decide to go skinny dipping! And, like Dayvon said, you'll only receive the laundry buffs if you change on your home lot. So if you go to the pool with +1 clean clothes, change into your swimsuit and then back into your day clothes, that buff is gone (personally not a fan of that, but whatever. I hope that's an easy tweak for a modder).
I'm actually a little unnerved that when you change clothes on your home lot the clothes just go into the hamper (unless that sim has a slob trait - then they'll always make piles). I know it was like that in 3, but as far as I can remember it would only go directly into the hamper if your sim was in a room with a hamper. So changing clothes in the bathroom would result in the clothes going straight to the hamper, but changing clothes in the living room would leave a pile of laundry since there wasn't a hamper nearby.
