Hiya, Fire from Sun&Moon here.
Thank you so much for your very thorough and detailed review! I'm glad you're enjoying it and your hood is lovely! Julien running a test laundromat is just pure Poetry (he's a favorite test subject of ours lol), poor guy can't escape the laundry, ever.
I see you had a few questions so I'll do my best to clarify those points:
Laundry Spawns: The reason laundry doesn't always spawn is because there's a lil hygiene check in the mod. When hygiene is above 75% they won't spawn a pile. This makes the never-ending stream of laundry just a little bit more manageable. Furthermore, the outfit your sims changes in and out of are factors as well. Certain (custom) supernatural life states may also have some modified spawn rates...
Laundry machine sounds: sound effects are always a bit challenging to get right, especially with timing. Improving the sounds, though not a priority, is on the (laundry) list and might be tackled at some point.
Laundry detergent restocking: working on it! It'll be included in the next update for sure.
Medieval "laundromat mode": not currently a thing. Unfortunately OFB code is pretty tough, so if this ever becomes a thing, it'll take quite some time to develop and for now I'd like to focus on a few other projects.
Amount of stuff needed (soap, water, loads): who knows, I might make some things user-tuneable in the future... No promises though. I have tons of ideas and not all of them made it into the mod seeing as 1.5 years of development was getting a bit too crazy long lol
I'll be sure to post an announcement once the next update is live. Thank you so much for noticing and reporting these bugs!
Thank you so much for answering a few of those questions I had! Especially re: the laundry spawns because I was quite confused about that, but it definitely makes a lot of sense :) I was super impressed that the mod came with any sounds at all tbh, I know that adding sound to mods is something not many modders even attempt!!
Medieval "laundromat mode" definitely isn't something I feel like I desperately need so we're okay there.
Tunability is always helpful but I can imagine it is really complicated to include. No rush. 1.5 YEARS of work... my goodness! You guys are amazing!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Your mod is great! I've really enjoyed to play with it. If I can give you one tip: I think it could be nicer to have the option to put the clean clothes back into the wardrobe. It could be also nice to have the possibility to grab the dirty clothes on the ground from any angle. For the rest I can only say that I love this mod! It's so well done!
Edited because I was able to fix the previous hurdle. Now one last thing that is bother me is the CANDLE VENDOR and TIERED MARKET DISPLAY COMPARTMENTS...
They are a blue texture in buy mode, they are blue when place, and live mode. They are usable, but they are blue.(I've looked and most likely it's a master mesh missing or something?) Could anyone please help me out with this one?
@@karolinaziu8636 I am SOOOO late to this, but have you downloaded the latest CASK SHELF update? I updated one thing, and half my things turned blue...turned out, I missed the Cask Shelf update, and EVERYTHING is now being linked to the cask shelf for the colors, which is GENIUS, but traumatizes you when you missed the latest recolors of the shelf and all of your favorite things turn blue. :) I just had to check over the Tumblr to make sure I was up to date.
I adore this...but I must admit...I wind up lazily just using the hand to stick all the laundry in my Sim's inventory most of the time...LOL
I love that people are still making new mods for the Sims 2.
Wellp, i looked into comparisons and i could conclude that ppl say it has the widest and deepest variety in terms of gameplay so that's that metric now it's just a matter of filling the ocean of content =)
I thought the same thing about the amount of soap and water that need in the medieval gameplay, my sims will not be able to afford it! hahahaha this mod looks really cool, would be great more sun and moon reviews, there is not enough in yt.
Love seeing the review. I wish one box would last for many loads like rl but I will also take what I can get. I could see me making one day as laundry day and letting it spawn only on that day and call it 'the weekly laundry' or maybe 2-3 times per week for a home making sim.
I would definitely like to see reviews of all the sun and moon mods. I have all of them but I am rather overwhelmed with them as they are so detailed. Teach me!
It's in the works!! 😊 A hood is in the process of being built by a friend of mine and I will be using that to go through all of their mods in detail x stay tuned!
@@TeaAddict Awesome. Also with this mod, they should make it so that if you have a baby or a toddler in the house, the washing load doubles... triples even...
@@lil-al 🤣🤣 so true
I love mod reviews this one looks great! I’m not very good at keeping up with new mods and where to get them so this content is super helpful xx
Thank you so much for this! I love seeing how the mods actually work. I have a sim that I was planning on having a laundromat as his home business in my BACC, and this will work far better than the janky way I was going to do it, lol. Gotta go grab this mod!!!
Wow, what a cool mod! Although not one I'd pick out personally, mostly because I just found the whole laundry pile system in ts3 pretty annoying, it looks really well made and fun to play with if that's your jam. Really cool video concept too! I'd love to see more of these :) Perhaps some of the mods from Pick 'n' Mix would be fun too to take a closer look at: I recently learned about a "learning to drive" mod on there for example that looks pretty complex but cool.
Yeah that's fair enough! I definitely felt that this mod wouldn't be for everyone; I probably won't use it in all of my towns / save files but I thought it was just such an impressive accomplishment for a mod. I've actually got the "learning to drive" mod downloaded and have started fiddling with it, so yeah I could definitely have a go at reviewing that soon! x
@@TeaAddict I'd love to see your review of the "learning to drive" mod, i saw it on tumblr and it looked really cool!
Great review! I was on the fence but I'm now gonna get it hehe.
Thanks for this vid! I've been on the fence to try it out but I already have a deco laundromat in one of my downtowns I built for a story set years ago and the possibility to make it functional is very tempting!
Oooh, that looks very interesting, thank you so much for a detailed showcase. I am a little cautious that it may be too tedious to manage for my personal liking, but you never know until you try.
I'm late but OMG this is a game changer! I love it!
Man, Frac is amazing!!!
Awesome review! One work-around for Sims not being able to afford all the soap might be to adjust the soap price since I think that's probably possible with SimPE. Just an idea. My Sims are still in survival stage so laundry would be too much for them but this is still so friggin cool!
Yes this is a great idea! I thought of it while I was editing the video and went, "huh, I probably should have mentioned that it would be easy enough to do that" 😅😅 But yeah I'm thinking I'll make the medieval soap cost about $2 simoleons if I can, that will really help!
Yup, you can adjust the price of the object itself, but you can also crack open the vendor and modify the price in the BCON named "Tuning - Pricing". It's all clearly labeled. Once you're satisfied, press commit and save your package.
Absolutely love this mod, it is so real-life. Yes, a family of 4 would generate enough laundry, to justify having to do laundry daily. Same as in real life. 😒😆 I prefer the washing tubs and the wringer washer one, as your Sim has to "work" to get the laundry. The wringer washer (1940s, 50s) style, has one extra step after it animates the washing cycle. You have to come back to wring out the laundry. Again, that real-life element, chore added to it. It reminds me of my mom using a wringer washer, when I was young. I believe if I recall correctly, with the line-dried clothing, it takes about 2 Sim hours for the clothing to dry. If you leave wet laundry on the floor or put it back in the hampers, it will create a puddle, which will need mopping up. Yikes, more chores. haha. 😏😅 All of which makes it an outstanding CC mod. Fire and the team at Sun&Moon did a superb job on it. As with a lot of Sun&Moon mods, they add those extra touches of real life to your Sims 2 gameplay. I can't wait to see what other CC mods the Sun&Moon team come up with next. Great review as always. 😊
Thank you! They actually just released an updated version of this mod so stay tuned cos I plan to make another video about it soon! - and hopefully cover all of the other sun and moon mods in an upcoming series ☺️
This is awesome! I wonder whether the maid and the butler will pick up the laundry piles 🤔
Maids are programmed to pick them up and take them to laundry hampers yes! I haven't tested butler's but I'd imagine so 👍
woah, Love the mod! but now I'm super intrigued with your medieval world, is there a way to watch old streams from this world? when I go to your channel i only see from 1 week ago
absolutely, my stream VODs channel is here - th-cam.com/channels/-MgdMTnX_HznHWzdcNXsag.html :)
Thanks so much for making this video! I really wanted to see it in action before downloading it because I do like how the Lazy Duchess one works. Is there any benefit to washing and drying clothes? In the one I’m currently using, washing makes hygiene decay slower and drying makes comfort decay slower for a little bit and I really like that. But I absolutely love the trait support, the washing piles and the fact that sims aren’t locked to the interaction whilst their clothes wash/dry. I agree with your tuning preferences, I wonder what is tunable in the bcons so far. I’m also interested in the toddlers on community lots mod you mentioned, I use a mod called ‘Allow Puppy Kitten Toddler Riders’ and I’m not sure if that has all the same functionality or not, thanks!
Heya belladovah, you can use both ours and lazy duchess' washers and dryers. As for benefits, changing into an outfit using the fresh clothes gives your sim a tiny boost to comfort, so there are some. It doesn't affect motive decay though, as that is a thing added by FT and thus not MAC-compatible.
As for BCON-tuning, there are a few things you can tune at this moment:
- Vendor prices
- Washer and dryer: time out controller (how long until a non-selectable will use the machine again), two BCON's that determine how factors like traits, interests and personality influences if a sim will decide to wash their stuff at the laundromat or not and of course: breakage chances
Hey Bella! You're welcome :) There's not really a reward for washing / drying clothes like the LD mod. Clean clothes turn into those single-use "fresh outfits" that you can use as a one-time dresser, but they don't improve hygiene no. Also yeah that's the mod I have for the toddlers on comm lots :)
why I can't get my dirty clothes, i have tried every way but it's doesn't work
I installed this mod and I don't get any dirty clothing and some of the baskets are missing textures. 😓
Hi, thank you for a fantastic review on an incredible mod! I've always wanted this very everyday, small activities to make my game more realistic. Just a quick question: how does it work with maids/butlers? Do I still need to direct my sims to do their laundry on their own even though they hired a butler?
Thanks again for the review, would like to see some more in the future :)
Maids, butlers and other cleaning NPC's will autonomously pick up laundry and put it in a hamper for you. They won't use washers or dryers however
@@flaming-chickens1678 thank you so much for the response and the amazing mod!
It's too bad they didn't retexture the animation for carrying a bag of garbage to appear like a bag of laundry. Kind of like in the Sims 3
Thank you so much for this extensive review! This is really helpful!
I have a question about the Extra deco laundry set by DaraS (Converted by MarionEves). The link doesn't seem to be working for me. So did I do something wrong or did the link stop working in the past two days?
Oh bummer, I'm so sorry! It was literally working 2 days ago and now I can't get it to load at all :( What timing! Here's the set I have re-uploaded, it is merged and compressed because all of my S2 CC is merged and compressed. If there's an issue with me re-uploading I'll have to take it down but yeah, that's really weird! www.simfileshare.net/download/2907260/
@@TeaAddict Thanks a million! That's really kind of you.
How to make sims showering without pants ?
6:18 WCIF the white bed? I think I used to have it in my game but I deleted all of my furniture lol
Hey! Sorry I saw this comment the other day and forgot to reply!! - the bed here is from the Campagne set, which is a huge furniture superset you can download here: sims2artists.com/index.php?board=362.0 You need to make sure to get the master objects for the set to work, which are the set's dresser, as well as the Jonesi blanket. Any other items will be slaved to those, so all recolours for your dresser / Jonesi blanket will apply to the Campagne set. Hope that makes sense, if not feel free to pop into my Discord and I can help you out further with the download 😇
Can you tell me where you downloaded the rug, bed in the master bedroom, and that closet? It’s so pretty😩
Sure!
Bed - sims2artists.com/index.php?topic=1604.0 is part of the campagne set; you need to download the master object dresser to make the whole set work and some recolours for it so make sure you read that whole thread 😊
Closet - modthesims.info/d/521980/closeted-the-uncloset.html one of my favourite pieces of CC
The rug is this rug - sims2artists.com/index.php?topic=2012.0 and the recolour is one of my hundreds of Jonesi bed blanket recolours; that one looks like it's from this set - modthesims.info/d/440106
@@TeaAddict Thank you so much! Love your channel♥️
Do you have a camera mod? Your view of rooms looks different
Yes I do, I think it's the one included in this list here?www.tumblr.com/lowedeus/137560317441/%D1%81amera-mod-compilation
The "realistic live camera" - though it has been ages since I downloaded it so I'm honestly not sure anymore lol
Don't have to respond (obviously), but I wonder how you achieved that beautiful background in your medieval game?
Do you mean the rural skyline? It's a neighbourhood deco prop! If you google "Sims 2 skyline" you will find it 😊
@@TeaAddict Thank you so much!!
I might not have paid much attention to the water fetch requirement being 50/50. So, what is the purpose of the water fetch and do I need it in my game or not? 😅
It's only necessary if you want to use the historical wash buckets 😊
@@TeaAddict What about modern laundries?
@@VagabondPink you don't need Fetch Water for the modern content no
@@TeaAddict Ooh okay, thanks for this. Also, I just realized I misread the first comment and thought that every laundry except historical wash bucket requires it eheh.
@@TeaAddict Another question, if I were to want to test it out but decide to not use it permanently, is there a way to uninstall?
I need mods with base game only
For sims 2
That laundromat looks like garbage... In a good way. That's pretty much how a typical laundromat should look!
