Anyone else would like vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers ?

It's two objects I'd like to have, it's stuff you find in every home. They could be gameplay objects too.

I would love to have a vacuum. Especially one that will add functionality.

I wonder how a lawnmower might function and where it would fit within the game? Maybe within a farming pack, where you have to upkeep a plot of land? I think that would be really interesting! I also think vacuum cleaners could be done in a straightforward way. Like distinguishing floor messes as spills (like water puddles) and dust/dry messes (toddlers pouring spices on the floor)? From an animation standpoint, the vacuum object might be fairly straight forward to swap out the mop for :)

For lawnmowers to be usable, they'd need to make the grass grow. They could add patches of grass that grow.

Grass is just terrain paint in the game, so really having a lawnmower is pointless without a massive overhaul to how the game treats the terrain textures. Vacuuming can work quite well if you ask me.

It could work similarly to laundry. Without placing these objects, nothing would change, but adding them would require sims to maintain a tidy house or lawn.

well i think no but if they added like actual thicc dust that would cover everything unless you did your vacuuming cleaning things often enough... id be having blast with that look in my haunted homes

Neither of these I really care to see but there is a Roomba vacuum cats can ride in game already

I was actually disappointed that roombas were used for cats and dogs, neither pets I want to own, rather than general housekeeping, actually.

What do you mean? The vacuum cleaner from Cats & Dogs will actually clean up.

YES.
And a stroller for toddlers. Hope they will do Generations... Great objects for Generations EP.

Omg I would love strollers in game I get anxiety when toddlers just run outside especially taking them to the park.

I'm kind of torn on these two specific items, I can definitely see why people would want them, they're every day items, super realistic and work well for adding at home activities. On the other hand it's the two household tasks I absolutely loathe in real life, so personally, probably not. Though a decorative vacuum and mower would be great.

It takes Sims half the day to eat and use the bathroom. They can't pick up there dirty dishes and you want them to vacuum. Nope.

I always felt like lawnmowers should have came in Seasons packs and vacuum cleaners with laundry day. I would probably use them, but I'm also a realistic game player so I actually enjoy playing with mundane interactive objects. It would be fun to assign chores like that to certain sims.

I'd actually like lawn mowers a lot. In TS2 Seasons, on Spring, weeds can grow in sim's lawns and bushes need to be trimmed down:



If your sims live in apartments landlords will do it for them, or they can hire gardeners if they don't want to do it.

I wish those features would come back with lawn mowers that make sims take out the weeds faster. Sims could use them as a resource to make compost in those wooden boxes, to later fertilize their gardens. This sort of detail is what should exist in a lifesim imo. Simple yet realistic.

would love vaccum cleaners and lawnmowers ingame

Okay, so clutter items do not bother me in the least. I am not dying for them (and wouldn't use them), but bring it on. However, if gradual lawn and floor maintenance became mechanics, they better be opt out like laundry.

I would like lawn mowers, I know that the roombas are already in game but a more traditional vacuum were the sim would have to hold it would be nice.

Absolutely not!
