Let us do another Community Stuff Pack!

Laundry Day Stuff turned out to be a pretty awesome pack! I hope we can create another Community Stuff Pack in the future, maybe using one of the concepts that didn't get used. Who would agree?

Why?
Because somehow "eco pack" turned into Laundry stuff pack.
The majority wanted laundry and they could add the eco aspect in a Farming Expansion
The possibilities are too exciting, that's why! If they were to bring back the community stuff pack a second round, who knows what kind of treat we'd be in for? Lawn mowing? Dish washing? Vacuum cleaning? I can't even bear the thought of all that fun!

Because they'd probably shove a beach-themed pack option in along with a bunch of exciting ideas, all of which would die a swift death to the beach pack because "OMG! Swimmable Oceans! Who cares about ideas that could add some excitement to the game! Terrain that's basically a pool built into the world map is more important than a martial arts pack, or a monster hunter pack, or a robotics pack! I want my sims to splash around in the salty, shark and jelly fish filled whale toilet that covers the majority of the planet!!" (Note: I do acknowledge how important the oceans actually are to the health and continuation of life on this planet, and that all animal and plant life originated from the sea. However, as someone who grew up in New Jersey and has visited the shore multiple times in her life, I also acknowledge that the whole beach experience is highly overrated. Sand in every crevice and all over everything you brought along...even if it's something that never touched the sand, jellyfish, hot sand burning the crud out of your bare feet, strangers wearing swimwear that does not flatter their figures at all looking so bad it burns your eyeballs, beach-side public bathrooms playing host to the worst bathroom nightmares known to humanity, vicious boardwalk seagulls who will straight stab you for some funnel cake...Beach-starved inlanders, the ocean and the beach are not that great!! Get over it!!)
So, yeah, another community pack is not a good idea for actually adding anything that's actually cool because. "Oh, but so many mundane everyday things still aren't in the game." You know what else isn't in the game 4 years in? Werewolves, robots, martial arts, magic/witchraft...I think we can afford to hold off on swimmable oceans or cars or, I don't know, credit card debt, to even things out for players who like to play stories that are a bit more on the fantastical side.
I still don't think Laundry should have been its own thing. Feels like something that could have been included in parenthood and almost any other pack. Though I can see thought was put into how laundry functioned.
Not to mention the community in itself is pretty bias. If there was to ever be another community stuff pack related project I'd like to see concept art first because what they showed afterwards made me want that arcade pack even more. I do appreciate they actually took a concept piece of art from it and brought it to Get Famous because I did genuinely like the outfit. (And then beekeeping that came with seasons)
I'm just stiff baffled that laundry/supposed eco pack was chosen over all the other interesting packs that was an option.
I really wanted the eco living pack, with solar pannels and stuff. But most people just went with laundry. So....
