Hello Simmers! Let's get right to it...
Laundry is the winning group of gameplay features that we'll create for this upcoming Stuff Pack, after capturing the most votes from this community! In fact, when we examined the outcome across the different regions that voted, the results were
almost entirely aligned. Nearly everyone voted for the options in the following order...
- Laundry
- Off the Grid
- Food Preserves
- Carbon Conscious
The only exception to this result came from players in Russia, where Food Preserves swapped places with Off the Grid by a slim margin.
With these results in hand, we have a clear path forward for this pack. In the coming weeks our Stuff Pack designer will get to work writing full designs for Washers, Dryers, Clotheslines, Wash Tubs, and Hampers. I'm looking forward to sharing those full designs with you, so that we can collaborate on the little details which are so important to creating a fun - and full - Sims experience.
You also have two more votes to look forward to, now with concrete dates on when they will occur. The Pack Icon Vote will start on September 6th, followed by the Pack Title Vote starting September 13th, where we will select the final name for this Stuff Pack.
In the meantime, watch for more in-depth looks into game development right here on this forum. In the coming weeks I'll be sharing more art, showing off the hairstyles that will come with this pack, discussing the process we follow internally to get from the initial brainstorm to the feature groups you voted on, and more!
Edit: To help clarify the edit to this post... This message originally mentioned Ironing Boards, and mistakenly excluded Hampers. I've edited the original post to better represent what's coming in this pack. Our first priority is to deliver the features that were mentioned in the Feature Vote survey. While we're interested in including Ironing Boards, it remains to be seen if they'll fit in the pack.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to give our two cents on the creation of this pack, SimGuruGraham.

I think Laundry is a great idea for a Stuff Pack. HOWEVER, I would absolutely love to see the other gameplay features make it to a Game Pack, as you could do a TON of stuff with Off the Grid and Food Preserves (toss in Carbon Conscious). In fact, a stuff pack would not be enough for Off the Grid/Food Preserves. SimGuruGraham, any chance of Off the Grid/Food Preserves making it to a Game Pack?
Thanks for the amazing opportunity to help bring this stuff pack to life!
I do hope you make a laundry basket that looks like the other items that goes with the pack and maybe throw in Broomhilda. I do love the line and washpail that is coming with it though and many of the items that won along with a couple of the clothing items.

> Ugh. How boring. Definitely not an SP I will be picking up. I'll wait for FUN things for my sims to do.
Same here,of all those interesting new features the least interesting got stuck in the pack.I'm not paying ten dollars for something I do everyday at home.

I build things and sometimes share them. I'm not hogging, I'm just slow. I've recently wiped my gallery, so there might not be stuff up for a while.
Before the vote I thought "I'll get it no matter what, even if laundry wins"
But now that I think about it, I don't want to encourage EA pulling this nonsense again when it should have been put in the Parenthood pack or another pack instead of shafting new features for it. So while I've bought every pack so far just for the sake of having them, I'll skip this one on principle and hope the others are cooler. If anything else I can hope its one of the lowest selling packs in the series.

That's what I thought too, but now I am definitely thinking about it. They use a hyped up gameplay feature amongst a bunch of features that had almost no current demand. Like I have stated once, I'm sure they did exactly this knowing players would pick it, giving them an excuse to make you pay for it instead of giving it out for free.
