Drowning in laundry
Even when I delete or sell the piles that come up when the hamper is full, its still overwhelming.
Currently Im enjoying off-the-grid households. Primarily one in sulani, no electronics (except the weed sucker that I cant control), tried technophobes but they lost the lifestyle... because they didnt use electronics... and no washing machine or dryer. So I have six sims, one hamper, one washing tub and one clothing line. I dont want to create more of them or use a maid or get patchy because that ruins the immersion for me.
As a comparison, my household with five sims (three adult vampires, two kids), a washing machine and dryer is a breeze.
The problem is there is a pool on the lot. Well, the pool isnt the problem. I built it so the sims dont go into the ocean and too far away from the lot. And they swim alot. Its an island/ocean theme after all. The actual problem is they create too much laundry.
Since they dont need fancy clothes, I made them simple clothes for all outfits. Yet they change all the time. When they go to bed, swimming, bathing... Even though they dont change really. And they only change into their everyday outfit when they come out of the bath tub. Otherwise they run around in their sleeping or swimming outfit which look like their everyday outfit.
And laundry dries so slow. It takes a sim day to dry but they create a full hamper what seems like several times a day. Washing takes long too. And when they wash it there is no guarantee it results in clean clothes. I had sims hang up used clothes or return clean clothes to the hamper which prevents any interaction with the hamper unless a sim creates a clothing pile to order the sim to wash all of it.
I feel like Im being punished for having sims wash clothes by hand.

I don't even bother with hampers in these situations. I try to make sure when my Sims do complete a load of laundry that they get everything, and them not being confused by hampers and excess to hampers has helped me prior, but you absolutely have to keep on top of it. It is a proper chore.
Thanks.
Maybe when they overhaul packs they change this to a chance based system.
You know, stuff like that.
