Washer and dryer is not allowing me to use it. The only option given is to upgrade even after upgrading it won't allow me to use it. I've also tried other suggestions to move away from the walls but no change. HELP!
Hello
Try making sure that nothing is above the washer or dryer.
Try seeing if selling the washer and dryer, then buying and using the washer and dryer again when they are stacked on top of each other may help with the issue.
Hi, I am Having same issue, had a Laundry 2 baskets, everything was working fine, when I made my sim change clothes you saw clothes go into baskets for cleaning, now nothing, baskets don't ever fill, no shelving above them or any other items and they are in same spot they were before, after upgrading washer only option I get it add additive which i can do and you see him add it to washer, but no other options, not even greyed one. had shelving above washer but was working the whole time, Have removed shelving and moved and replaced washer and dryer but nothing. its like the whole action just doesn't exist any more, i don't use CC, never have, I have repaired game, nothing happens. I thought it may have been because i made him a vampire and activated the never loose hygiene vampire perk as washer it seemed to stop working at same time, so i cured him vampire-ism, still the same, thought ok maybe its because i made him a vampire, so i tried new household, same thing Laundrys and washers that were all working fine now don't work at all, baskets don't even fill. its like the whole function is gone except the item themselves.

Hello @TheMurphy
Try resetting your sims 4 folder, starting a new save game file, and testing to see if it occurs there . To do that, move your sims 4 folder ( that is in Documents -Electronic Arts - then the sims 4 folder is there ) to the desktop. Then start the game, and a new sims 4 folder will be generated.
Start a new game and test to see if the issue is in that new save game.
Exit the game and then copy back the "options.ini" or "options" file and the "saves" , "screenshots" "tray" "custom music " and "mods" folders from the desktop sims 4 folder to the new sims 4 folder, replacing the new generated file/ folders with the old file/folders from the desktop sims 4 folder.
Then try testing your old save game file again.
@rosemow Hey, I tried this and still in the brand new game no Laundry activity at all, it actually may have happened since last patch, but something just isn't working lol.

In the new game, did you use a different home to the one that you used in your current save?
@rosemow , Yep sure did, just made a random sim and bought one of the pre placed house when you start new game, added a basket washing machine and dryer, still nothing happens, oh and i've also tried the clothesline as well, it was also working fine before.

Although I don’t like suggesting this as i know that it is a large and lengthy download, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the Game and see if that helps. If you decide to do that, make a backup of your sims 4 folder beforehand, and place it on another part of the computer or an external drive.
