I only have one household that uses the wash tub and hangs clothes on the line.

LOL That's so amusing and so very like a Sim Thanks for sharing.

I think it's because of the action overlapping feature. If I have him put the laundry away before I tell him to do anything outside the wash house, he stands in front of the dryer and poof, they're gone. So once I figured out what was happening, I could control it and now my family of 7 is happily snuggly blissfully warm and fuzzy.

But in previous saves I've had them put clothes away that were still damp. However those were extremely rare conditions as I make my laundry master stay there until the laundry is completely done so that they are immediately handled. I'm a dictator like that.

Also, only one sim in any of my households has a key to the laundry room that way I know that maids, butlers or family members aren't screwing up my system so I always know "which nimrod put the clean clothes away damp."

I love that you have a wash house, that's so 18th century! Generally, I do follow the Sim, too, who is doing the laundry. In times past, the Butler was very guilty of setting the machine on fire, due to failing at cleaning the lint tray. So important. LOL

Yeah, my home is a mixture of old and new concepts. Complete with a greenhouse, science lab facility and wash house. It's in the gallery if you wanna check it out. It's called Chateau de Cameron. :smiley:

I'm thinking it's a new bug - my sims dry their clothes, and when I hover over it to put them away, it still says damp sometimes. I actually started several fires because of that, and nearly lost a sim child! But I'm not yet sure, nor have I been to AHQ to see if others have it yet either.

I never know if the clothes will be damp or dry. Sometimes I feel like it's a gamble I take!

If you hover the mouse over the clothes before putting them away it says whether they are damp or dry. :)

That was why I said bug - there was no lint trap to clean! Very strange shenanigans indeed.

Several of my Sims (in a household of eight) are walking around sad because their clothes are damp. I didn't see who did the laundry last, but even the Toddlers are affected by it, of which there are FOUR. I went from one save of the same family walking around depressed because they lost three of their grandparents inside of a Sim week!

After this latest patch, I rolled back a save and got lucky. I found the one prior to the very first death. I altered their ages with MCCC (thank you Deaderpool!) and hopefully have averted the most unhappy turn my story had taken. But, now my Sims are walking around sad because their clothes are damp! They have a perfectly working dryer.

"So, listen up my little Simmies: Erik, Joey, Kayleigh and Hayleigh, I know it's hard to keep up with the schedules you keep, and Kayleigh, the mother of these four precious toddlers has her hands so very full just wrangling her brood, the workload has been split. There are four Young Adults so it shouldn't be that hard. When you gather up the laundry and place it into the washer, please, oh please remember to start the washer. Then when it's ready and you move it to the dryer, don't forget to clean the lint trap and then start the dryer. By no means should you ever, ever ever put the laundry away damp. Mildew comes to mind … thank you."
