Four Laundromats----- Finally Uploaded!!!
Here are four Laundromats that I've been working on. They are a laundry and another business to get sims to come to the lot. Only your sim can do laundry but with other sims milling around, your sim won't be lonely.
You can find them on the gallery at: #dannydanbo, #café, #laundry, #laundromat
Cantina Lavado
A Laundromat and café with outdoor seating.
Sip, Bowl & Wash
A café, bowling alley and Laundromat in a small strip mall.
The Grind Laundromat
A place to wash your clothes and have a cup of Joe.
The Shin Building
A Laundromat with an Asia restaurant above it.

Indeed its sad that we could not get laundromats.
Maybe down the line this will be a feature in a generations type game pack.
I fail to see why a modder has to provide a workaround.
It's so that the townies won't run around with dirty clothes the entire time
I’ve been thinking about this, but one probamatic issue for modders to solve is how NPC Sims can remember which machine they did laundry with and don’t mistakenly use someone else’s machine. Sims in TS4 are awful at distinguishing between multiples of the same object: patients in the hospital don’t remember which bed is theirs, massage therapists don’t stick with the same table, and vet employees just use any exam tables they can find. The only instance where this works correctly is that customers do know which table is their at restaurants, and the implemention for that is very heavy-handed (you literally won’t have the interaction to sit if the table isn’t yours).
One easy mod I plan to make is that when you do laundry on a community lot, the interaction to start the machine would cost you Simoleons so that you’re charged like you would at a laundromat.
I was wondering if it would be possible for a modder to make it so pother sims would do laundry. I came to the same conclusion that @elelunicy came to, that it would be problematic for the other sims to remember which was theirs. It's not like you can "claim" a washer or dryer and what if the ne NPC sims wanted to use was the one your laundry was in? So, I decided, I just build 'em. Modder can mod 'em.
That's one of the reasons I made the lots duel purpose lots. There is no "Laundromat" lot and "generic" lots tend not to pull other sims to it, so I thought if it was something else also, like a café, other sims would wander in for coffee and you could pretend they were also there to do laundry as well and chat.
Thank you for those lots.
@elelunicy Oh I do like that Idea! Looking forward to that mod
Yeah I'm excited to see how modders such as yourself give us simmers our wish to have the ability to have functioning laundromats. Perhaps even a trait mod would add this functionality, like the ones out their that give sims urgency to perform certain tasks.
