I cant be the only one that wants to know, who was daft enough to think clean clothes go in the hamper?? and not in the drawers or wardrobes, where they are supposed to go. I see my sims twirl and their dirty clothes go into the hamper. the next day they clean them. which again end up in the hamper, so where are the dirty clothes supposed to go. I feel my sims are living in a twilight world where washing is backwards. I hope this gets rectified. with three kids and a dag and cat, they haven't time to be tripping over clean clothes on the floor. and why are they on the floor. someone allowed this in the game. Why??

If your sim "spun" into a different outfit, the other clothes should go to the hamper. Even if those clothes were on your sim for a couple of seconds. Maybe you didn't like the outfit they changed into, so you had them change again. To us, those clothes are still clean, but to the game programing, they are dirty because your sim wore them, if only for a few seconds.I don't think you understand what's happening in my game. There is one hamper in the home. My Sim emptied the hamper and put the clothes in the washer. Then she moved them into the dryer. After they were done, I clicked on the interaction to put them away. The clothes ended up back in the hamper. During the time laundry was done, there were no outfit changes. It's bugged.

I think you need a counter in the vicinity. When my Sim took clothes out of the dryer and there was no counter, she got a pile to put in her inventory. With a counter, she got a folded stack, which she could put away. I've also found that putting washing machines and dryers and hampers on the gym lot doesn't enable doing laundry there. But if you can get a load of laundry into personal inventory, then they'll work.

Happens to me too. Real annoying cause I have a hamper full of clothes but I can't wash them because they're clean :sweat_smile:

This is a profoundly disturbing thread... my mind is boggling. I haven't even played enough to really watch the hamper, but I will be watching this thread. Yikes.

I tested this because I just bought laundry day today. I have a dresser and two hampers. The hamper in the bathroom has dirty clothes in it. I can move these to the washer. The hamper in the bedroom has clean clothes and they are sparkling. I cannot add them to the washer or dryer. It says they are already clean. I am going to try removing a couple mods that might be the issue and report back. I also removed the dresser.

I wish we were able to just click on the washer/wash tub and start washing clothes (the Sim will go grab clothes out the hamper and head to wash them) instead of having to click on the hamper each time.

Also, I don’t like that I have to click on the washer/dryer again after putting clothes in it in order to start the load. After we add clothes in it the load should automatically start. Idk why they changed it this time.

I agree, I don't see why, once its in the washer we should tell sim to turn it on. this should be automatic.

I'm starting my game now, and will try in a different house, see if I have the same problem.

No, dressers don't matter and you are not required to have one. I like that the loads don't automatically start. What if I'm not done loading the washer or dryer? I can load them all day and then start it at night before my sim goes to bed. Or whenever I feel like it, for that matter.

I played a new family with just the washer and dryer, no washing line and no wash bowl tub. so far everything is working as it should, it's about to get interesting tomorrow when the twins grow into toddlers. I have two hampers. both have been collecting dirty wash.
does anyone know if the white hampers work from a previous stuff pack or are these just decoration???

I didn't know we could just keep loading the machine, and then turn it on. good idea. especially if we have a large family.
