Sims 3 vs Sims 4 - Laundry

[@barbiquearea]

In the Sims 4, the clothing line wires can sometimes snap and will need to be repaired. But you can upgrade them to be unbreakable.

[@ankoma15]

I had no idea! Never happened to me. It's a nice detail tho.

[@martins.2100]

I think Sims 1 and 2 don’t have a laundry mechanic because Sims can use only one normal outfit.

[@TheMya1988]

I know that there are mods that do add laundry into the game for TS2, but I do not think they are as in-depth as its successors. TS2 does add the ability to plan outfits, but without any mods, you can still only plan one per category (although can change as frequently as you like with any dresser/closet). So, I agree, the need for laundry is not necessary in both TS1 and TS2.

[@z.startedafire]

​@@TheMya1988there was mods for it, but it was only really for deco

[@TheMya1988]

@@z.startedafire I know a few years back I downloaded a laundrymat, that had functional (that gave the appearance of working), washers and dryers (which I had to also download separately, along with the deco ones). I only used them to fit story telling aspect, but the lot was really buggy anyway. Honestly, I do think the coding can be done, combining the buying from shelf clothing interaction, to grab out of the dryer, and using similar coding to placing trash in trashcan (using different meshes), as well as the trash compactor (like the coding for the recycling bins). The limitations only go as far as if there are animations/mechanics/game physics available to replicate in TS2, which thus far, the TS2 modding community has been able to add in most aspects of TS3 and TS4. You have to remember, that both TS3 and TS4 cut out quite a bit of animations and game mechanics (even ones that were in TS1). Some of the things I thought were impossible have indeed been added in by the modding community: SP, Open World, Horses, Fairies, Mermaids, traits, etc. Not too shabby for a 20 year old game❣

[@DeanParsons-n1q]

I want that magic clothes line from Sims 3 so when I hang clothes, they don't get wet if it rains, lol

[@fanficYAOIyNOYAOI]

Lol me too😅

[@juliusma4880]

IIRC, in Sims 3, if you leave the washed clothes in the washing machine for too long, it would get stuck in it, and sims would have a hard time pulling them out. Also, cheap washing machines can get noisy and shake more violently, and sims can try to subdue it. They would get a positive moodlet (Victory Over Washer) if they succeeded or a negative moodlet (Defeated by Washer) if they failed.

[@second_second_]

Oh really? Now it seems like a tie.. why didn't they add that in sims 4..

[@DizzyBusy]

I don't think it's a tie. In Sims 3, it's part of an expansion pack that included 5 non rabbit hole jobs, self-employment, 3 new skills, one new career track, a new creature, and on, and on, and on. How many packs would all that take in Sims 4? 😬

[@fretzil]

​@@DizzyBusyat least 3, and then you'd still need to buy some kind of other kit for each

[@InsaneStar7]

You forgot that extra detail in the Sims 4 about the hampers. When a Sim is wet from the rain or been in a pool and you change the clothes, you'll see water dripping out of the hamper. Sims with very low hygiene or stinky clothes if left on the floor for too long, you'll see a cloud of musk in the hamper. Same with the clothes that it's been fragranced (Butterflies) and fouled (Flies). It can have a uncomfortable moodlet if Sims are nearby to it, but it's bugged cause even if you put the dirty/wet clothes into the washing machine, the uncomfortable moodlet will still be there. But there's a workaround to fix that, just go into build and buy mode, put the hamper into the household inventory, and then manually put it back and the uncomfortable moodlet is gone.

[@barbiquearea]

I've noticed that in Sims 3, the washing machines are all top loaders, whereas in Sims 4, they are front loaders. Also there is a total of seven different washer and dryers you can buy in Sims 3. But there are only two options in Sims 4. One of them being a single washer or dryer by themselves. The other is buying them as a set, with the dryer stacked on top.

[@TheMya1988]

The reason TS3 has only top loader washing machines, is that they were the only form of machine available in the canononic timeline (a nice touch by the devs). I forget if there are more futuristic ones available at the store, but I do know that TS3:ITF allows Sims to shower and wash clothes they are wearing simultaneously, without taking clothes off. I am saddened that TS4 has an entire dedicated pack, that still does not come close to all added in individual packs of TS3, that are not just dedicated to laundry. Even Sets/Combos at TS3:Store offer more than TS4's dedicated pack. 🤷‍♀️

[@TokusaMarudzi]

I like cleaning things in TS4, it feels more "homey". And with doing so, i enjoy doing laundry and vacuuming. Previously I preferred to dry sims clothes outside on the strings, but since weather in my game hates me as much as the real one, i have raining all the time, so dryer it is ;-;

[@TheMedicatedArtist]

To be fair, laundry in TS3 was part of an expansion pack (IMO it should’ve been paired with University). TS4 is a stuff pack. IIRC, certain expansion packs gave you new laundry items in TS3.

[@Ilivepuppys]

also in sims 3 you can get laundry a bunch of different ways, through stuff packs, eps and sps while sims 4 is stuck to one stuff pack and never add any new machines or objects

[@LitrallyAJ]

in sims 3 laundry came in like 3 expansion packs I think? But Ambitions did add the full experience with the clothesline whereas the others are just the machines and hampers.

[@Ilivepuppys]

@@LitrallyAJ one expansion pretty sure and some stuff packs and a couple store content had some more washing and dryers if I am not mistaken? But perhaps another expansion I am not remembering added it

Laundry in the sims 4 is actually frustrating. Clothes would never line dry because it would always start raining first!

[@rattyratcat]

For those saying the Sims 4 wins… it’s unfortunately not really a win. Since laundry was added in a an expansion pack in the Sims 3, they had other main priorities of the pack to work on. However with the sims 4 laundry got its own entire pack… so it better have detail. However even then the sims 4 only has one set of washers and dryers to pick from in a stuff pack literally themed for laundry and laundry rooms. 🙃

[@Ilivepuppys]

its the sims 4 brain rot, the obsessed fans try and find any reason why sims 4 wins, when really sims 4 doesn't win. Sims 3 laundry is also a one click and the sims cleans and puts the laundry in the machine and turns it on while sims 4 you have to tell your sim to pick up all the laundry, than tell them to turn the machine on....

[@lynfletcher7744]

expansion , sims 3 . stuff pack sims 4 .

[@milliedragon4418]

Overall The Sims 4 did well with its laundry. The only thing I wish it would have added was actually animating putting the laundry detergent and dry sheet. From sims 3. Although neither of them have those, I wish that it would have came out with an iron and ironing board. And like someone else had mentioned in the comments, I wish that if they have no more clean clothes, they have to wear their old dirty ones. And they could refresh it with the Sims version of forbreeze 😂.

[@TatjanaAlice]

Ich meine mich zu erinnern, das wenn die Wäsche nicht gewaschen wird, sie bei Sims 4 sie dann dreckige Kleidung anziehen müssen

Nice job, Sims 4! Love the extra details. Now you just can proceed to make a laundromat

[@ville666sora]

I wonder if you have eco lifestyle or whatever, if you can make a community lot that could work as a laundromat. It wouldn't be the same as a real laundromat, but it might do.

[@TheMya1988]

While TS4 adds a few more aspects, and that sense of realism with hanging clothes on a clothesline (12 hours though for a simulation game?), and clothes getting wet in the rain (to start that 12 hr clock again), I still think TS3 adds just the right touch, especially since laundry is added in several packs (as well as the Store). I do like that clothing can be stacked on surfaces, prior to putting away, but if left there too long, is it realistic that they unfold themselves, becoming a pile again? Oh, and one basket for all rooms? While I do find it annoying (especially with the TS3:UL lots), to have to place clothes in another room's basket, it is far more realistic than them teleporting from one room to another. Correct me if I am wrong, TS3's laundry baskets will actually fill up, whereas TS4's one basket is limitless? While it is nice that TS4 added the spin animation, TS3 shaking is far more impressive. Now, while TS3 does offer a more basic washing/drying experience, TS4 does shine with the ability to add fragrances (even food 🤮), and that is a nice added touch. Although TS4 comes closer to winning (perhaps might have even won), I have to subtract points for it being its own dedicated pack, while TS3 implemented it in various packs (as well as designated content: individual items/sets/combos/bundles at TS3:Store). That alone edges TS3 over TS4❣👏

[@hers6694]

I easily prefer the sims 4 edition not only because it’s more realistic than ts3, but it has way more options as well. Plus you can easily create a laundromat in the ts4 alongside anything really. Sims 3 is more non complicated imo though.

[@theyoohoogyrl9000]

in sims 3 we got a laundromat , side feature in expansion pack, multiple styles and options of washer/dryers, an option to be evil towards other peoples laundry, *not sure if we can upgrade in this one* in sims 4 we got 2 ways to wash, technically 1 style of washer/dryer, no laundromat, upgrades, $10 for this feature, additives, able to place laundry down, able to die, buggy most likely, cool clothesline animation they both have their ups and downs, sims 4 finally won - it better after we pay separately for it (sims 3 better as a overall gameplay still)

I was torn at first between the two. 4 does have a bit more to it than 3, like adding fragrences and clothes actually get wet in the rain by plus the wash bucket is a cool addition. But, it has its own stuff pack but didn’t bring back laundromats? No animation of putting the detergent in or cleaning the lint dryer? And only 1 set dryer and washer? Yeah I take 3 over this. Regardless, I think laundry should be a base game feature in a life sim game. Wished sims 1 and sims 2 had laundry. That would have been cool. 😢

Here's some things each game did better: Sims 4 had more options and details Sims 4 had fragrances and the ability to load up a washer before turning it on Sims 3 had the better washer and dryer opening animations since the sims open them manually. Sims 4 has the spinning animation for the front loader. Rain can make hanging clothes wet in Sims 4. Sims add detergent to the washer in Sims 3. Laundromat is its own lot type in Sims 3, in Sims 4 you will need to place a hamper or use a mod for this. Sims 3 had better shaking and the sound effects are more realistic. Overall, Sims 4 wins this one, however it is because its the main feature of a stuff pack while in Sims 3, it was a small feature in Ambitions, so of course Sims 4 would have more fleshed out laundry. Sims 3 gets the job done, Sims 4 expands on it and makes it seem more interesting.
