Do laundry in Non-Active Households

No one knows everything this mod can do. Did you know you can tune the size of your sims nostrils with this mod? I'm kidding.

Do laundry in Non-Active Households

Post by no.1froggie » July 16th, 2018, 7:20 pm

Is it possible with the retuner to allow your active sim to do laundry at another house? I changed everything to allow greeted and non-greeted sims but the options didn't appear on the the washer or dryer. Wasn't sure if this was possible or if there was something else I needed to do.

Are your trying to get your active sims to do their own laundry or that of the other household? Could be mistaken but the first one I thought was already possible, if they have the clothes already gathered up in their personal inventory. The second one, not so sure about.

Thank you for the reply. Would be 2nd one. Where the active does the other households laundry. Since no modder has made an active maid career I was trying to simulate that by just going in and cleaning houses and adding money to my household but the only thing my sim cant do is the laundry. Wasn't sure if it was possible to do the laundry. They can pick it up but can't do anything with it.

That's the problem. Unlike with putting things away, washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom, etc., laundry being done is supposed to "credit" the entire household with its benefits. That is, assuming they are wearing/changing into clothes or sleeping in beds (from the bed sheets). I don't think the game will understand which household is supposed to get the benefits of laundry being done if it's not the active household doing it. Service Sims like maids would be different since it is understood that everything they do is for the benefit of their employer.

Sorry, I know that's no help but it will be interesting to see if anyone else has any good suggestions.
