Off the Grid and Laundry
I'd like to request that the washtub be made to work "off the grid" so that my Sim can do her laundry at her little camp of sorts. Maybe instead of running on plumbing the washtub water can be changed...

EA even has a wishing well (Get Together?), though the animation for tossing in a coin won't work for pulling up a bucket of water. As someone suggested earlier (this thread or another), a hand-pump such as the ones you can find at some primitive campgrounds in the National Forests would be ideal. Might take more animating than they consider worthwhile to do, though.
We can water plants, though, so maybe they can use that animation for a 'refill laundry tub' action, the 'carry laundry' animation (which is broken in my game, btw--the bug fix didn't work) but substituting a bucket for the laundry bag, & have us refill at a sink-object that's been redesigned to look like it's a pump. I didn't put that in the correct order, but trust you'll catch my drift. Not that EA will ever read this here, or that the programmers need the suggestion!
