Laundry Day - a small overhaul!

Just a small suggestion to the mechanics of washing clothing. I know it’s more common in different countries outside of the U.S. to have a washer/dryer combo. But do you think we could get both options? And we could have stand alone washers and dryers as well as stack-able ones too. Also a laundry line to hang clothes on to dry?

And laundry hampers that collect the old and dirty clothing, and your zoi had to go around a collect the dirty clothing to wash. Also, make washing a more immersive experience. Loading the washer with the clothes, adding the laundry soap and washing them clothing. And the machine runs for 30 in game minutes before the clothes are clean, then your zoi removes then from the washer and places them in the dryer. And that runs for about 60 in game minutes.

If you hang the clothing outside then the weather affects the drying time. Summer weather clothing are dry in about 2.5 to 3 hrs. If it starts to rain then clothing stay wet longer. And obviously if it’s Winter - unless in a hotter area - your zoi isn’t going to hang the clothing out to dry.

And along with that, with clean clothing your zoi gets a buff or moodlet because they are happy with the smell and feel of clean clothes.

Yes, this. At present laundry feels somewhat placeholder. Maybe it is, but it should be a bit more in depth in a life sim, or there isn’t much point the mechanic being there.

N.b. I like it, please don’t remove it!
