Laundry



Laundry is a new system of objects and moodlets introduced in The Sims 3: Ambitions.

To enable laundry on a lot their either needs to be a washing machine OR a laundry basket. Sims can visit the local Laundromat if their household can't afford the appliances. Sims will then often leave clothes on the floor when they change if there's no laundry basket in the room. Rooms where they change often include bedrooms and bathrooms. Places where they workout or squish fruit for nectar would also benefit from a laundry basket. Players can select a washing machine and Do Laundry which will do all the laundry on the lot and then either dry it in a dryer or hang it outside. After that, Sims can enjoy fresh clean clothes, getting a positive moodlet and fresh clean sheets. The Laundry System is entirely optional; if there are no laundry-related objects on a lot, the system will not be activated.

An alternate to the dryer would be a clothesline, which saves energy for your Sims. Eco-friendly Sims will always prefer a clothesline over a dryer.

Sim can randomly find a Laundry Gnome when doing laundry using the expensive washing machine.
