Laundry

A Sim adding soap to the wash.

See also: Laundry objects

Laundry is a system of objects and moodlets introduced in The Sims 3: Ambitions and The Sims 4: Laundry Day Stuff.

The Sims 3

Laundry was first introduced in Ambitions, making it possible to use the washers and dryers from The Sims 3 Store and Town Life Stuff. The laundry feature is also available in University Life, though there is no clothesline available. Since World Adventures includes a decorative-only, non-functioning clothesline, confusion can arise if both World Adventures and University Life are installed, but Ambitions is not.

The Laundry System is entirely optional; if there are no laundry-related objects on a lot, the system will not be activated. To enable laundry on a lot, there must be either a washing machine or a laundry basket. Sims can visit the local Laundromat if their household can't afford the appliances or if the house they live doesn't have enough room for space. If there is no laundry basket in a room, Sims who change clothes in that room will often leave clothes on the floor.

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 an a clothesline. Clotheslines save energy, and eco-friendly Sims will always prefer a clothesline over a dryer. After that, Sims can enjoy fresh clean clothes, getting a positive moodlet and fresh clean sheets.

Sims using the cheap washer will sometimes get the Soaked moodlet. There are two additional moodlets from the cheap washer. These occur when trying to subdue a noisy washer, they are Victory Over Washer and Defeated by Washer. Both last one hour, but the positive moodlet raises their mood by 20, while the negative moodlet drops their mood by 15.

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

A common glitch is that, when a Sim or maid picks up laundry from the floor while and the washing machine is being used or the clothes basket is full, they will constantly drop the clothes and pick the clothes up again.

Another laundry set was released in late 2010. This set added the laundry system and its associated items for players who do not own Ambitions.[1]

The Sims 4

Two Sims washing and drying clothes.

Laundry is the main feature of The Sims 4: Laundry Day Stuff. Like The Sims 3: Ambitions, the feature can be disabled simply by not having any laundry-related objects on the lot. If there are laundry objects on the lot, Sims' clothing will get dirty over time, and clothing piles will be created whenever Sims change clothes. Dirty clothing can be collected from a hamper or directly from the ground. Sims can choose to machine-wash their clothes with the use of a washing machine and a dryer, or hand-wash their clothes with a wash tub and a clothesline. When the drying process is complete, Sims can put the cleaned clothes away to complete the cycle.

Butlers will autonomously do the laundry.[TS4:VGS]
