If I purchase 'Laundry Day' will all of my sims be required to do laundry?

If I purchase 'Laundry Day' will all of my sims be required to do laundry? Will it be optional or something that all households need to be involved in once purchased?

No. They only need to do laundry if you place down a hamper or any other gameplay objects related to laundry in your lot.

Good to know, @Sigzy05 . Thank you!

Thank you, @rosemow . I just bought it (some 'my style' clothing) and 'luxury party' (for certain builds) on the big sale, so the link will be helpful! Thanks!

You’re welcome

If you place any of the washing/drying items (like the washer/dryer or the wash tub or clothesline) or the hampers that came with the pack, you'll have to do laundry to avoid clothing piles. They didn't do anything to change the decor hampers that came with base game or the Parenthood pack, so if you just want hampers for decor you can use those.

@stilljustme2 Good to know. Thanks for the clarification!

Once you place a washer and dryer, wash tub and/or clothes line your sims will start dropping their clothes when they change. If you have no clothes hampers or if the hampers are full, sims will drop their clothes on the floor. If you have lazy or slob sims they will drop their clothes on the floor no matter how many clothing hampers you have in the house. If you have a maid or butler (or a neat friend visiting) your sims won't have to wash at all. If you have neat sims they will do laundry without your prompting though.

@aujineh Hmmm... I could deal with that okay. I always hire a maid once they are not broke and have a job, plus I have several sims with plenty of money and a butler. I never play lazy sims as that would drive me crazy since I play rather 'Type A', but I do have a slob or two...

This is why I didn't buy it. If I did buy it, I would make a laundrymat.

I was thinking about adding this to the sales deal with one EP, a GP and this SP. It would change alot, not just for the sims but I have to edit many houses to accomodate this type of gameplay.

Some of my sims use laundromat rather than putting washer/dryer in their home lot. There is a CC laundry basket that acts as a hamper in the home, with dirty laundry going into it. Then, when it is time to go to the laundromat, your sim can just click the basket to "add to inventory" and head off to the laundromat. Love it.
