Off the Grid - Tips & Tricks Compilation!
Dear fellow Sim addicts, I'm having lots of fun building and playing off the grid but we all know that it isn't working as intended (yet) -or that it works in a way that is dissimilar from how we are ...

I can use the washtub without a mod now. Victory!!
Ha ha, I have been griping a lot about laundry but Off the Grid made laundry fun for me. Maybe not my sims but for me it just turned interesting.
It has to be a little bit interesting to keep all the bars in the green and still having time to do things. And not too easy to get rich. Then I am happy. So when I was playing Off the Grid and had laundry on the lot it turned into a fun activity for me, maybe not for my little Jane but that it how sims-life in my little world. I like that there was one more everyday thing to get sorted, and that you really have to get down and do it yourself. Sweet!! With seasons it turned into a necessity to have sunny days every now and then in order to dry the laundry, ha ha one more limitation. Bought the weatherstation and turned it into a moneysink, she has to pay a fee in order to use it. Really happy that the strings can break so you have to mend or buy a new device to hang laundry on.
All in all, Seasons together with Off the Grid turned laundry from boring to fun.
My Sarah Jane got wash-tub arms, poor thing. Didn't help that she was preggars at the time, either. Back in her proper time frame, they used bucking bats to swirl the dirty clothes clean in the lye soapped boiling water. Then onto the fresh water to rinse the lye out, and then they added 'bluing' to help the whites get white again. I'd love the bucking process in the game. Oh, but they also laid out their clothing on the shrubbery to dry. I'm uncertain just when the notion to string rope from one pole to another was conceived. At least the washboard is better than pounding the dirt out with a rock. :open_mouth:
