Based on the comments/feedback I received from you all I decided to go back and take another look. I was under the impression that laundry was not only guaranteed but also in the pictures from the survey!!! I was wrong.... And I am actually very happy I am wrong 
I don't feel hoodwinked LOL!!! *****See Picks Below****** that the Laundry was ALWAYS just a possibility. MY apologies to the GURUS/EA/MAXIS... I read wrong.... My bad and Laundry was NEVER in the PICTURES of any survey.
Soooo I'm not happy at all!! Kinda Frustrated and Disappointed that Washer and Dry Will Not be a default in the pack... I chose Eco because that is what was originally shown in the first survey and was the only reason I picked it. I think that it was VERY misleading by the GURUS/MAXIS/EA to sell it that way and then say OH, you gotta vote it in.... Well NEW FLASH TURKEY!! I ALREADY DID!!! Not fair at all and I will be some kinda you know what if I dont get a washer and dryer. All this other stuff is amazing as well but you didn't put it in the first survey... I call foul play.. Not Cool at all. Any how the fact that there is a petition (that I have signed) for laundry stuff/washer and dryer... All of us want laundry... Saw our dream come true... almost. And now prolly wont see it until who knows when if at all if the majority wont vote for Laundry/Washer and Dryer.... What a let down... Any, How. I've ranted enough....
*****JUST A POSSIBILITY*******
*******NO EVIDENCE OF LAUNDRY AT ALL******

what they are not going to add it.
Hi brendhan21... It's not automatically going to be in there.... We have to vote it in on June 23rd. I'm sad about it too.
oh well hey as long as its still a possible option we can vote on i can see it winning to be honest
Good point! Thanks for the encouragement
Ah well, glad I am on a Sims 4 break until some of these crazy bugs are addressed.
I think the eco friendly pack will be focused on simpler living, more off the grid style with windmills and solar panels and less electronics. If anyone thought washers and dryers should be in an eco friendly pack, then they should do some research on what eco friendly means.
Also when you think about it, washing machines and tumble dryers are not eco friendly so don't fit the theme of this pack.
I did not vote for an eco pack in the first place, there were many others I would have preferred. So at least you have a chance of getting what you want, whereas I will have to hope we get to vote on the following pack so I can have another run at it.
I didn't love all the objects or clothes that have made it into the pack. I preferred the other sofa to the one that got in. I didn't care about the round table that was so popular. I don't particularly care about laundry or brooms. I'd also have loved to see funkier light fixtures to fit the theme rather than a bare lightbulb. I'm still a good sport about that stuff because it won the vote or was determined to balance out the pack better than some of the stuff that I liked. I'm not going trash the pack because some things liked by other people got in. Some things I did like and vote for have made it as well.
I still generally like the pack. If I didn't have any interest in any aspect of the pack, I probably wouldn't have any interest in it now, just like any other consumer product. I'm just saying this because the feature vote is a fair way to decide if laundry should be in the pack. If it were up to me, I'd try to allow up to three features and have laundry be one of them if it wins so that the pack can be more well-rounded.
I was honestly disappointed when this theme won because it was my last choice in the initial vote but I'm a lot happier because of the direction that the multiple votes have taken the pack in. I feel more invested because I have been in sync with some of the other votes. I'm sure that there are others who feel the same. Complaining because they are trying to allow the interested community to have a say in multiple aspects of the pack is ... strange to put it mildly.
You never know, laundry might be the most popular and end up in the pack anyway. Make sure to vote when the chance comes and then cross your fingers and toes for at least 6 hours afterwards
I hope they never let us decide on a pack again. I just want to know what is going to be in the pack rather than potential this and potential that. Potentially getting an item will sway my vote, then to hear we may not get it is disappointing. My vote would have went a totally different direction had they been clear on what was going to be a feature. I was imagining a more modern eco pack. As the votes went on, everything I wanted the eco pack for was essentially gone.
Btw, there are washers called Laundry Pods that use very little water and no electricity so they can be eco friendly. It probably would have fit more with a modern theme, which I was hoping for but not happening either.
But it all boils down to the individual and what they deem eco friendly. You could say flatulence isn't eco friendly since it putting carbon monoxide into the air. Some people don't consider showers eco friendly because water goes down the drain as they clean themselves. Others only fill their bathtubs up once a week, and the family or single person bathes in that same water. Let's not forget toilets. Some people feel that flushing isn't ego friendly, and so they will use the toilet all day, and only flush once. *ewwww*
So again, what is eco friendly is up to the individual. Who are we to tell someone else how they should view something?
If we do get washers and dryers ( I hope people vote HARD for them! lol) I hope they don't do them in Sims 3. Don't get me wrong, I love washing clothes in the game. I just down want the every time sims change clothes there's a pile of dirty on the floor. Like they should make it where sims only leave dirty clothes when changing at a dresser, and when in the bathroom when going to take a bath or shower.
Yeah, I could be wrong. But it felt like a bait and switch to me because it was so prominent, but as they say, water off a ducks back. I'd love to have laundry back. If we don't get it, I'd be a bit disappointed. Because like I said, the eco was the one I voted as number one simply because of the laundry. lol
I did like the Dangerous one simply because Sims 4 is just way to plain. To tame. It's as if they put the training wheels and rubber floaties on the game, and took away on the unexpectedness and randomness of the previous games.
But who knows, maybe we will still get some of those features in an up in coming EP! I think that would be cool!
@OEII1001, faux outrage? I don't see anyone being "outraged' over it. Just simply stating their own feels and opinions. But I guess according to you, that is not allowed? Whatever, to each his own. Just please, don't tell someone how they should or should feel, and then try to belittle those feelings by labeling them "fake".
But I'm not trying to derail this thread, so lets just move along to something else.
I get that people want laundry really badly but after seeing the list of possibilities I'm not voting for it. I think there are way better ideas and things that fit the eco theme better than laundry. I hate laundry in the sims 3, clothes were everywhere. I hate laundry in real life and It's not my idea of fun to sit and watch sims do chores but if people want to watch that, great!
Having said that even though laundry is not eco friendly I still think it will win.
@MidnightAura, LOL I was using that because I remember waaaaaaay back when, in middle school, my science teacher tried to convince us that "farting" was bad on the environment. And that it was a huge factor in greenhouse gases. And also, he tried to state that since dinosaurs where so large, they produced like a bajillion times more gas than all humans and animals on the plate, and that that contributed to their demise. *tears* Yea, I think that mug of "coffee" on his desk was something other than that.
As for washers and dryers. Hey, call me uncaring or stubborn, or whatever. But they are environmentally sound to me. And that's just my opinion. if I don't want to use the dryer, then I can always just put them out on the line.
That's a thought, assuming when laundry wins clothes lines for the back garden will be included. As it's a stuff pack it may not. (Although would be pretty silly not to) but stranger things have happened!

But then just this week I read an article on Yahoo about a couple to are "Breatharians". And all I could think then was that my teacher was far ahead of his time. lol
I see laundry as a clear eco action (and I was really hoping we will get it) because in mind, if you wash clothes in tub with hand made soap (which should contain some sodium hydroxide) to clean some grease or some stain is more polluting than using some bio-detergent in a energy saver washing machine. Before my parents got their first washing machine, in 80's, my mother was doing hand laundry. I can guarantee that the level of used water is huge. Not talking about the time allocated to this chore...
I don't know, maybe I am wrong, but imagine living in an apartment - I used to live in a quite small one and after doing laundry, half of it was full with clothing lines - I agree it was eco, but complete unpractical.
So, to conclude, I surely plead for a very eco-friendly washing and dryer. If we get solar panels and generate our on energy and ideally a water filter, I believe it is the ideal ''independent'' status that every Sim wishes for
