I'll hope they have also thought about a washing machine, ironing board, vacuum cleaner, etc. which are not there in part 1, 2 or 3. I prefer realistic things in the game than a voodoo doll or a rocket.
Can anybody tell me if there are more housholding things in the Sims 4?

You can buy and use the washer and dryer without the Ambitions ep. They are in the build/buy mode and is under large appliances.

You can also buy them in the sets they come with.

We do have washing machines and dryers in sime3, vacuuming would be neat, Ironing, I hate to iron, so I don't know but I do like more realistic things rather then voodoo dolls or rockets, as I do not play with those things, I like Generation challenges. My Sims like to fish, swim, collect things, I like them to have fun, so all the fun stuff for them to do would be nice also. Love houseboats, hope they have that in the Sims 4. Love the realistic things about weather, make for a nice world, love to see it seasons change, but I guess we want so much in the Sims 4 base game. I know it will be fun anyway.
One thing I love about the sims is you can play it 'your' way - so whilst I tend to use the more realistic elements and ignore the fantasy aspect, there are loads of players who prefer to play the other way round and probably wouldn't want to waste time vacuuming :-)
A lot of the complaints about Sims 3 was that it was boring. One of the most complained about items as being boring? Laundry. The most? Teaching teenagers how to drive (in fact, there are people who avoid the Generations EP because of this and the entire group of people who asked for it refuse to defend it).
Also, this is not a realistic game series. Just take one look at the fact that Sims 3, alone, has an entire EP devoted to magical creatures and another one devoted to time travel. And those are not even the most unrealistic EPs of the game in terms of the unrealistic items added.
Which is why it should be optional.
The EPs you mention are a red herring - for all the supernatural EPs, there are was also Generations, pets and Seasons EPs which bring more realism to the sims games. That's the joy of the sims, there's something for everyone.
Generations introduced the Imaginary Friend and potions that could do things such as turn you into a ghost. Oh, and the much-maligned teenage driving lessons.
Pets introduced unicorns.
Seasons brought back aliens. And then there's what the haunted house can do to sims...
Wanna try again on the red herring argument? Because so far, the evidence doesn't support it.
As for the idea it's optional... please remember what company we're talking about. This is the same company where online being "optional" in Mass Effect 3 meant "you either do the online or you'll never see the good ending." This is the same company that stated the celebrity system in Late Night would be optional... and then the EP came out and we learned otherwise.
In short, arguing this should be or will be optional is not a valid argument because EA doesn't actually understand what "optional" actually means.
it is fairly optional - there are check boxes and everything (surely you've played the sims and know this :-0)
And I don't know about you sweetie, but I hate the supernatural aspect of sims games but manage to play without it messing up too much.
There are check boxes now... and those required over a year of complaints to get. So that doesn't make arguing it should be optional legitimate.
When Late Night was released, there was no check box at all.
I love the supernatural aspect, actually. But, this isn't about what you or I love... this is about what the game is and what would make it more fun. And based on player complaints, this thread is not on that list. Nor would be a town flooded with supernaturals, as I would like.
I may be putting too much faith in EA, but assumed that after the wailing and moaning for check boxes in the sims3 they wouldn't even consider leaving them out of the sim4.
Not sure about who does / doesn't want realistic aspects - before laundry arrived there were dozens of threads asking for it (as there were asking for supernatural aspects too) and if you go on ideas and feedback section there are always threads wanting lawn mowers, more realistic cooking etc so I always assumed that a significant proportion of people enjoy the more realistic content (but this could just be because it fits with my world view :-))
Trust me, you are putting too much faith in EA. These are the last times that faith wasn't rewarded that I remember:
1. Sims 4 would have CASt.
2. EA would listening to the community and not put SimCity as entirely online.
3. EA would not make online a requirement in Mass Effect 3.
4. EA would not screw up Simport (a few of us even told a guru they were wrong to say they wouldn't; the proof we knew more about what we were talking about than the guru did is found in one of the patches).
5. EA wouldn't add online features to Sims 3 in the first place.
There is a portion of the community that loves it, but... For every person who's loved it, there's been three complaints that I have seen. If that ratio holds true for the entire fanbase and not just the tiny portion that posts here... then most players hate it.
Ironically, this does mean I am actually opposing a couple items I like from that list (laundry I actually did like, as it was a nice break from doing whatever else they were doing that could be relaxing, and I've wanted to see maids actually vacuum for awhile now).
Now, if it turns out the majority of the fanbase actually does like it... well, then I'll change my stance. It's no big deal; I'm wanting a good game that is fun for a lot of people, so I know I will have to make a couple of sacrifices.
EA does seem to believe 'optional' refers to EA's benefit, and not the player, no question about that.
The Twilight movies, modern Dracula movies, the Charmed series, Shadowrun, Harry Dresden books, Harry Potter movies, etc. all had those elements you discussed Sims 3 having.
Just as the realistic elements do not mean the focus is supernatural, the realistic elements do not mean the focus is realism. In fact, the devs have stated otherwise outright on the realism aspect a few times. It's a parody game; the focus is on comedy.
I think I'm reliving a real life situation right now. :P
It's the 'unrealistic' things that make my game fun to play. That's what starts off the fantasy. When I want to iron I usually turn off my computer.
(there is a vacuum cleaner in Sims 3 by the way. Witches can fly them :roll: )
Haha! I love this idea and can definitely see it in action in my head. If they don't add this to TS4 I will seriously protest.
Just adding a new cleaning chore alone would get boring.
MajinKitty230 - I LOVE the Lawnmower skill idea you proposed
As I said to you elsewhere, supernatural aspects have already been confirmed for Sims 4.
Or did you think that curse doll in the gameplay trailer was reflecting reality?
But my, my, (unless it's sarcasm misunderstood due to the method of delivery...Internet), your comments are a bit "smarty pants." People are just voicing opinions, and compared to other posts/forums, most of them seem to be fairly diplomatic.
