Has anyone successfully found anything that stops that dryer from breaking down after every second use? I've had my Sim fully upgrade it, still breaking. Also how many times do I have to get my Sims to do the dry interaction before it does it? It's getting ridiculous, I put it on while a wash load went in, came back and dryer hadn't dried the clothes but washing was finished. Thinking I might have wasted my money on this pack.

I'm very often having to go into build mode and place out a new one, delete the old one, and use a cheat to keep my sim's money the same - because a washer or dryer has just stopped working.
If it breaks as a part of the game, I have my sim's repair it - and this does happen an absurdly frequent amount of the time...
Enough so that if I could figure out making mods I'd make a pricey one with higher reliability.
In real life I've just asked my brother this and it appears he hasn't so it's stopped him from having a fire anyway. I think he had forgotten what he was told when he got it. Nobody reads the "b" manual nowadays it seems.
Thanks anyway for reminding me, (and him) EA.
I do when I'm controlling the Sims and telling them to do laundry. What was weird was they were doing this autonomously. I was paying attention to other Sims in the house every time it happened. They just randomly decided to use the dryer and caught on fire.
I feel that if you don't provide too many other diversions in the house, that they tend to do better on their own, especially off the grid. This seems to follow Will Wright's axiom of just buying what you need that he used in The Sims original. He had lost many of his possessions in his house fire.
My washing machine bugs out sometimes and claim there is no working washing machine on the lot. This is fixed by Resetting the Laundry BIN, not the machine.
I sometimes have to do it 2-3 times before it gets dried and I do wait to see it's turning the washing round before my sim walks away
I got my Sim to obtain handiness to 10 and upgraded everything, I even used buydebug to get the parts. Fully upgraded now.
