Learn how to download and install mods. You will need to download and install a "mod"--a modification to the basic Sims game--as the Sims 2 game does not come with a washing machine and dryer. See Resources for a guide on downloading and installing mods.

Download a washing machine and dryer mod from a Sims 2 mod website.

Find out if the washing machine and dryer mod is functional or just for show. The mod description on the website should tell you whether your washing machine and dryer is just for realistic decoration or whether your Sim can "operate" it.

Use the washing machine and dryer for decoration in your Sims' kitchen or bathroom if you don't want a "realistic" washing machine and dryer.

Use the washing machine and dryer as a "dresser" by clicking on it. (Your Sim can change clothes using this mod, just as they can when using a regular dresser) Most washing machine and dryer mods will serve this purpose.
