Would anyone be able to help my issue? I have no mods, just bought the add on pack and can't use the washer. I've tried placing it outdoors, away from shelves from what I read in the past comments however nothing works. When I click the washer it just gives me the option to upgrade.
Hi - maybe a silly question, but do you actually have dirty laundry on your lot? You click on the dirty laundry to wash it, not on the washing machine.

Also, I find it very irritating that whoever designed the machines did them too big. There is ZERO reason why they clip an "sim inch" into the wall when standing next to a wall. That's just lazy design.
This is actually intentional, in fact it occurs with a bunch of objects in-game. If we want an object to seamlessly tile with another object placed adjacent to it (aka, no gap or space between the two objects), then that object has to be built to go all the way to the edge of the tile that it's placed on. Because our walls have a thickness to them, when you place objects that function this way next to a wall, they slightly clip into the wall. We tend to ensure that nothing important is hidden inside the wall when this occurs. (The light panel on the washer/dryer for example are positioned just right so that no part of them will clip into a wall, keeping them fully visible.)
Point taken. It still irritating when the control panel disappears into the wall (And yes, I know no "used" controls are hidden, but the fact that I can see parts of the control area disappar bugs me). It's not a big thing and thanks for telling me the reason. I can just ALT-it out of the wall.
