Maids, Butlers, and Laundry

I've seen nannies load the washer machine and I had a maid also load the washer machine in one of the apartments. But I don't recall them running the machine or switching loads ^^

I thought they did. I remember my butler starting a couple fires that way. I also remember him piling clean clothes up in the laundry room. I haven't paid attention to it for a long time though.

My maids have done everything: wash and dry laundry. They don't put it away. Your Sim will have to do that or you end up with piles of clean dry clothes lying around. When the dirty clothes start piling up it usually means there is a problem. You have to check your Sim's inventory because it can collect there too. Usually someone forgot to remove the laundry from the washer or the dryer or the appliances have broken down. You have to repair or replace them when this happens.

As far as butlers doing laundry I've never actually seen them doing it.

My maids and butler do it all. Even if you don't have machines, but clean the clothes the old way, hang in the clothesline... The only thing is that they don't put the clothes away. They will take it from the drying machine or the clothesline and just leave it on a table or counter. You just have to put it away from there.

Ok, so load, but not stick around for the rest. Sounds like me. LOL

I think I've played with laundry once since I got it. I like the other decor items though. I think I'll try it out, and maybe a butler.
