    Everytime one of the family members take a shower, go to bed or change into different clothes theres so many clothes piles :lol:
    I do still like the idea but it does get annoying sometimes when you have many people in the house.

      I sort of found it tedious with just one sim in the house. Haha! I love getting the moodlet boost, but I don't know if it is worth the extra effort.

      :lol: try having 5 family members in 1 house
      and sometimes they pick up all the clothes and then drop them on the ground randomly.

      Well you could just buy a lot of laundry baskets...?
      I don't find it tedious at all actually, and I'm running a full family. Just click any basket to do it when they have a free second, it will do all of the laundry (which you can let sit until you get the dirty laundry moodlet, doesn't have to be done right off) and if you get busy it can sit there and wait to be moved.
      That's merely my opinion however :)

      Put hampers in the bathroom and bedrooms, then all clothes fall into them.

      I find laundry easy so far. I am just now preg. so who knows what having more sims will do. I have eco sims so I use a clothes line and my first attempt with the cheap washer left my sim soaked. Now, even with a better washer, I put on a bathing suit to keep from soaking my sim.

      I love the moodlets! I think they did a great job with the system. I know it could have been so much more annoying!

      LOL Karenn, you are so cute. I did play for a bit with no baskets also, and then it was to much like real life-you were right it got tedious. I love how you can not have them though like in kids room, it makes them look very real with dirty clothes laying around.

      one of the sim gurus, in the glitches thread, said that if the laundry laying around is too much to deal with you could just get rid of all laundry related things on your lot and go to the laundromat to receive the same moodlet benefits. they said just make sure you remember to dry and pick them up.

      Where are the laundry baskets?

      I find it annoying that my sim gets soaked sometimes while doing laundry. I don't know how to get her dry without having her take a shower (since running through fire isn't an option at home.)

      Laundry hampers are in appliances where the trash cans are. They come in 3 colors.

      I find laundry worth the effort, and the laundry hampers/bins are in the laundry section of buy mode under bathroom if you are sorting by room and not function.

      Laundry kept my sim in a good mood and he got to the top of firefighting especially quick. I now have the best washer and dryer and they provide a 25 mood boost when on normal wash cycle. I always find it nice to have a simbot in the house, one with the neat trait of course. :-)

      Karenn,

      I had that problem too. I thought it was a glitch but I think they randomly drop it when both the washer and dryer have clothes in them. You first have to take all of the clothes out of both the washer and dryer and then put the pile of clothes in the washer.

      Well you can always not put a washer in the house then they don't drop laundry at all. Since the only thing it gives you is a moodlet it's okay to avoid completely.

      Do the maids keep up well with the laundry? Does the babysitter help with it too? Because im not getting one untill i have maid service!! Even if it does add to the realism, lol... :P

      Hope they never add dusting or vacuming :P

      having sims do laundry is something ive wanted since sims one. cause its more realistic. now only if their was a cloths shop like in sims 2. i think the whole every outfit on dresser thing is lame. yea its easier but having to shop for cloths that were affordable for you sims was cool. and the laundry baskets....go to the rooms tab where all the stuff is in the room. i think the laundry stuff is in the kitchen tab, and the laundry baskets are there as well.

      The only Sims house where I deal with laundry has a Maid and I'm 90% sure she takes care of it. That 10% thinks that the Neurotic/Perfectionist teenage son might be doing it when I'm not paying attention though... :mrgreen:

      It's like you need a hamper in every single room though. When they come home and I make them change into normal, there's a pile of clothes in the living room. Out in the back yard, using the board breaking blocks, there's a pile of clothes when they change into Martial Arts costume. Pile of clothes over by the weight machine. Every bedroom and every bathroom. It's getting kind of annoying, I'm thinking of just getting rid of the washer.

      Me!! Me!!

      Laundry is sooo annoying. And time consuming.

      I can't believe anybody really dreamed of the day they'd add this to the game.

      Laundry in Real Life is not one of my favorite chores, so having to do laundry in the Sims was not one of the things I've been missing.
