[LDSP] No washing machine on lot although there is

Washing machines and driers just stop working randomly but washing in your household still piles up even if you delete them and the washing baskets. 

Hi DkBowler​ 

is this what you are seeing: [LDSP] No washing machine on lot although there is | EA Forums - 4981513 ? 

Also did you test this on both a Mac and a PC ?

I've had this issue for the LONGEST time. Washing machine becomes 'unavailable' after 1 or 2 washes. The only way to fix it is to sell it and buy a new one. Then it happens again 2 washes later. 

I have tried:

• resetting the machine and laundry baskets
• buying new laundry baskets
• upgrading and not upgrading 
• moving them away from the walls/possible obstructions
• switching households and moving house
• new saves
• putting it in the household inventory and back again
• removing all mods and starting a new vanilla game (this began long before I installed mods)
• reinstalling the whole game
• repairing the game

Same here. The game detects that the washing machine has clothes in it, even when it’s empty. It doesn’t let you use the “hang clothes” or “put in dryer” interaction, which would change the washing machine’s state to “empty.” So the only solution is to delete the washing machine and buy a new one. Very disappointing.
