***DEFAULT OVERRIDE works with latest update 1.80.69.1X30***

Made with game version 1.38.49.1220

Update - 27 Aug 2021

The default override version may not work with all saves.

I was disappointed when SimGuruGraham announced that EA would not make any of the deco laundry bins from previous packs backwards compatible with the new laundry system in the Laundry Day Stuff Pack. I really like the canvas hamper from Parenthood and I looked around the Internet but could not find any modded versions. So here I present to the Simmer community, the Functional Parenthood Laundry Basket. Enjoy!

P.S. It looks like EA fixed the initial placement issues with patch 1.41. You can now safely place the hamper against the wall and/or underneath shelves.

Caveats

Works best if Sim has a clear path to both hamper and laundry machines
This hamper was made on a Mac. If you have a PC, please delete the file named MACOSX - otherwise your game will not start. Thanks to ksstrek, jamee, SymJimm, and Cidsan for pointing out the error and the solution.
Default Override version may not function in all saves. I haven't pinpointed exactly why this happens. I tested this mod in my "MC-vanilla" testing save with only it and MCCC, and the mod worked as advertised. When I tried it in my current save with just MCCC, the mod did not work.

Note from the Creator:

Please download one or the other; however, downloading both wonï¿½t hurt anything. Youï¿½ll just have duplicates of the same laundry basket. This hamper was made on a Mac. If you have a PC, please delete the file named MACOSX, otherwise your game will not start.
