I left the clothes to dry for 3 days and yet still they were wet. In the drying machine they dry but not on the clothesline.

Clothes moved to the clothing line to dry were not getting dry. We’ve reduced the moisture in the air and it should work now.

Fixed in Patch 1.60.54

@SamanthaSunny What season is it in your game and how warm is it ?

[SamanthaSunny]

It's summer in Strangerville and it's really warm 🤔

[crinrict]

@SamanthaSunny I tested this in my game and it took like 5 days but it was early spring and raining in between.

Could you try a different world if you have the same issue ?

[SamanthaSunny]

Ok that's odd.. I read somewhere that it would take 20 h to dry.. So I let them dry for 3 days and yet they didn't dry.. I can try in another world! I have had another family in Strangerville and the clothes dried up in 10 hours. But that was long time ago.

@SamanthaSunny I'm guessing the rain made it wet again and as it was coldish too, I don't expect it to dry that fast. But yeah, if it's sunny and hot, it should.

I have no clue though if they adjusted something when seasons came or not though.

[SamanthaSunny]

@crinrict That would be logical that rain would make them wet again so I think so. First I thought that they don't dry in Strangerville because there is something in the air after what happened there (case is solved in my game though) but then I remembered drying clothes in Strangerville before and everything was fine.

I noticed that couple of others has the same problem. Maybe it's the weather, I don't know or it's a bug. But I will investigate this and try in another world 😊

Isn't there a mod so you can monitor the dryness of your clothing? 15 hours should be enough to dry them if fully soaked (no rain/sprinkler, couldn't find anything about temperature) according to game code
