Used Laundry moodlet after cleaning

Yeah. I do that each time. :\

*Edit* Must be a hidden skill involved as another sim just got pristine and it remained such...

I was wondering the same, because I get this sometimes too.

But then I was thinking about how much work cleaning clothes that way would be. Perhaps someone got tired and couldn't scrub them as well, making them more of a "used" quality clean than actually clean.

Usually I just put the load right back in the washtub after replacing the water and scrub again and it makes them clean.
But it could very well be a glitch.

I'm having this issue also atm, feels like a glitch to me since there is no reason why the laundry goes from pristine to used right when you place it on the clothesline.
My sim is also neat and outdoorsy so he has been happy and in good moods while doing the washing plus using good additives.
Other save with another household had no such issues.

I think it is a glitch as now the clothes are pristine when I move them to the clothesline and once they are hanging they are immediately dirty...
I might just sell the tub and line as I am doing a Decades challenge and cannot get the washer and dryer.

Brand new pack and it's broken. What a surprise. Maybe we should focus on the 'rustic' parts of it and ignore the laundry.
