Laundry Pack Separate From Eco Pack Please?

Can we all just ask (beg/annoy) the devs to make us a laundry stuff pack after the Eco Living pack is finished?
I think laundry wouldn't be done well at all in an eco themed pack. Beside the fact that washers and dryers are not eco friendly at all and won't fit in this pack. If we had laundry in the Eco Living pack, it wouldn't be done to the level everyone wants. Laundry would be super limited. Everyone who really wants laundry would end up a little upset, maybe complain, and end up asking for more laundry stuff.
Wouldn't it be better for laundry to have it's own pack? That way, we could get various styles of washers and dryers. More items and animations for laundry related tasks. Maybe get a laundromat venue type.
In it's own pack, it'll be way more fleshed out.
The devs could do an amazing job with laundry if it had it's own pack.

But seriously it's laundry, how flesh out do you want it to be? It's not like there's 30 ways to wash/dry clothes.
I didn't mind laundry for the eco pack when I heard about it (I wasn't excited for it, but I wasn't against it either). But since that list came out, now I feel like development has become much larger than laundry. Many ideas from the list can easily be more fleshed out than washing/drying clothes, and many other ideas on the list can supplement existing systems to make them deeper or more engaging.
Laundry may have been the pitch and what a lot of people bought into, but I'm not convinced it's representative of what the pack has become now.
If the developers feel like (because of the initial pitch) laundry HAS to be with this pack, then I'd only be disappointed/reluctant to buy the pack if laundry was the only thing that made it into the pack.
I am hoping the devs take it upon themselves to maybe even delay the pack just a tiny bit so that more than just laundry could potentially be added. A consideration they've already shifted on in regards to the pack's clothing items (while not necessarily delaying development) when they offered more options not listed in the voting. I think it would be a more acceptable compromise.
I voted for this theme simply because laundry was mentioned, and I DO NOT want to wait for it. Make an eco-friendly pack later on, but make this one laundry first. Otherwise people will feel cheated.
You aren't even making sense... NOTHING about this pack is eco-friendly except the name, and that's going to change. All of the CAS and Build/Buy items will work in a laundry pack just as well as an eco-friendly pack, and I'd argue that the build/buy items would work better for laundry with all the decor having stuff to do with clothes and ironing in. Laundry isn't going to suffer because if it wins it's going to be the only feature and will be very fleshed out. You're acting as if it has to share the pack with something else, and it doesn't - that's why we're voting.
THIS IS NOT A LAUNDRY PACK!!!!!
IT IS A LAUNDRY PACK AS MUCH AS IT IS AN ECO PACK. WHAT GAMEPLAY WE VOTE FOR WILL DETERMINE WHAT THIS PACK IS. AND I WILL LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH WHEN MY PRECIOUS LAUNDRY WINS.
sorry but i have to disagree i went laundry to be in the eco living pack for me its a must have in game

Eco and country has nothing to do with laundry in my opinion unless it is clothes line & wash board or wringer washer. The country vibe should keep out modern and the eco part should keep out machines if the vote stays true to the Country Eco theme that won. Personally, anything cool is what I will vote for, which wouldn't include laundry unless it was the above mentioned. If the other choices weren't that great and we got the above, then I might would vote for that. But personally, I'm hoping for canning or something else that would bring fun gameplay into the game.
I would buy a laundry pack if I thought it was a good. In my opinion, it would have to include the above if it doesn't come with the eco pack. Also poor machines, really nice ones, and stackable ones. A variety of baskets/hampers/rolling hamper, detergent, and clutter for those who like it. Racks to put clothes on would be so neat if they could treat it like a dresser, but that would probably be too hard.
Either way, we will get laundry at some point. I can't wait to see what they are offering; I am really excited about what the choices could be.
I've seen your arguments around the forum now about why this pack is as much laundry oriented as anything else may be; because of the clutter objects and the initial pitch for the pack. But a clutter object does not a pack theme make, and the initial pitch was more concept than substance -- so much so that even Graham tweeted that laundry would need to win the game-play vote to be part of the pack:
The theme is eco, there are more plant clutter objects than laundry ones, there are more wood based objects than laundry based objects, and even the clothing has strong associations with fashion tied to eco-friendly lifestyles. That means it's more of an eco pack than it is a laundry pack by your own logic. The pack itself was even pitched with the idea of home technology and solar energy in addition to laundry as being potential areas of focus.
You may want laundry; but your want does not make this pack more laundry based than eco based. not even necessarily equally either.
Also, I have yet to see why you think this pack HAS to have laundry over any of the other features, why you think laundry is better for players/game-play than other features, or even why laundry shouldn't be saved for another (and potentially more fitting) pack. Maybe your insight will help convince myself and others of your point of view; but your blind mongering based on conceptual foundation "just because" doesn't help your case.

It's sad that there are those that have to Force their opinions onto others by spamming, bolded all caps, or just plain telling people what to vote for. This isn't a dictatorship, like no, no one gets to tell someone else what to vote on. Rude!
To those wanting Laundry, that's cool . .but . .what if it doesn't win? What if the amount of people you think wants laundry just doesn't exist or something else on the list catches their eye more? You have to remember this isn't a forum vote . .this is a Global Vote. Which means the Gurus have a much better scope of who wants what more so than you do. And if it doesn't win, not only did you act inappropriately, but you put so much emphasis on laundry, are you going to be able to enjoy the pack? Is there nothing else on that extensive list that caught your eye?
If the Gurus even consider doing a community stuff pack again, I'll be very surprised.
EDIT: And no, I am not voting for laundry.

Agreed.
I think it seems unlikely that laundry will win now.
So I'm figuring, unless some other concept can match up to it, it'll likely win. And right now, there's no reason to believe there's a different concept that has so many ardent supporters.
Of course this is just conjecture. I could turn out to be completely wrong.
Yes, well I thought that too because I only voted for this theme for laundry. But now the majority seems to have turned on laundry and say that they're going to pick something that fits the Eco friendly theme. I've only see a handful of people including myself still supporting laundry.
Most people following this project are probably tuning in when there's a vote (and maybe when there's a non-vote update) and then tuning back out.
It is true that laundry isn't complex enough to warrant it's own stuff pack. Perhaps they could do something similar to what they did in TS3. In TS3 Town Life Stuff it introduced not only laundry, but also game us different variations of playground type items like slides, swings, Outdoor playsets (jungle gym) and more town like things. That pack was one of my favorites.
But if laundry is what we get, hope they're keeping the undeniable eco style from all the stuff we got so far. Otherwise it shall be a Frankenstein pack.
