The Wash Basin

Gurus... I don't know what you have in store for the design of wash basins, but could this sink possibly be one? I think it has potential:
I could see this fitting in the basement of my church/orphanage. There's a lot of linens to do with a bunch of toddlers and homeless folk who take refuge here. Look at all those linens:
And the homeless would appreciate clean clothes too.
If that sink can't be used as a wash basin, what about something like this?

Will the wash tubs also have regular functions of a sink? Like do dishes, wash hands, get a drink? Or will they only be for clothes?
What would people prefer?
A generic water tub sink would be cool. It'd make for an interesting pretend fish cleaning station, bahaha.
I build things and sometimes share them. I'm not hogging, I'm just slow. I've recently wiped my gallery, so there might not be stuff up for a while.
I love your CC .That story you do is really cool to by the way,very creative.
As for washbasins when we lived in China and our washing machine broke down we used something like this to wash clothes(except ours were bigger)
I remember the old metal ones my Grammy used when her machine would go down. I was so happy I didn't have to help wash clothes. lol I remember I asked her once where did she get the hand washer? And she told me that she saved it from when she was younger.
But when I read that there would be wash bins, that was what instantly popped into my head. Or the old style crank washers, where you have to ring the clothes out between two rollers.
Ahhh, the old wringer wash basins like this?
And here's a more "modern" version for that, "I'm not poor. I'm just Eco" look:
I'm not sure if they will be sinks. I assume they would be a separate object for coding purposes. Otherwise, any sink could be a wash basin... not that I'm opposed to it. I love to play tiny builds, so anything that can perform double duty and save space is good with me. I've made a lot of RV's and 🐸🐸🐸🐸 campers where washing clothes by sink would be useful. I just don't know how feasible it would be.
Those are cute and colorful! And thank you... I have an unhealthy level of CC lol.

Yes, those! I really like the new modern looking one! That's the one I'd pick up for when I'm in a pinch and the washer is down!

Speaking of which, I wonder if there will be a plunger and tub type of washer coming in this Eco Living. That would be cool to see, watching a sim doing the laundry with a plunger and tub type of washer.
I am starting to really look forward to getting the wash basin
Could never get much enthusiasm for the washing machine but I am getting more and more excited for the basin.
Planning to do one save with a little family on Windenburg Island supporting themselves by taking in laundry. Maybe a widow supporting herself and two small children by doing the laundry for some rich Windenburg families.

Have just been reading a little about working and one part stood out to me
A laundress working at home would, in today’s parlance, be an entrepreneur. As such, she was typically not the delicate Victorian lady. The Royal Commission on Labour reported the comment that laundresses were “the most independent people on the face of the earth.”
Quite liked that.
So it looks like I will take the wash basin and use it for an historical save. Probably with a little cc clothing since there isn't much historical clothing at the moment in the game but one can always hope for future stuff packs! Knowing me this will be the starting-point in the story and somehow there will be one or two vampires somewhere in the story as well. Maybe it is the vampires who send the laundry out, ohh that works. Jupp, there will be vampires also.
My hope is that the wash basin and the clothesline will have one or two shades that would suit historical saves, nice plain colors.
Are you playing the premades? If so, then the Munch family screams "use us for this"! Age down the boys by one or two lifestages each (child Gunther, child or toddler Wolfgang and toddler Lucas).
Brilliant!! Haven't played with them yet and Mila would be perfect for it, I really like her but haven't found the right story yet.
