Can someone clarify this for me? I've been away from the sims forums for a while. Why is laundry such a hot topic for a new pack right now? I can understand if someone wanted laundry to be PART of a pack (even part of a stuff pack) but to have laundry as it's own stuff pack is about as exciting as watching paint dry or water boil. Am I missing something? Is laundry already a new SP that is actually happening?

And it's not supposed to be exciting. Quite the contrary actually. Some people just like to play their games as a true life simulator and have something as mundane as laundry. And in a game like TS4 that has so many things that are over the top, sometimes the simple things are the most missed ones.
Well, we can agree on that. I think laundry would fit really well in Parenthood... But they added it as a theme for a new SP, and since many people miss that feature obviously they voted for it. We had weirder SPs in the past though. Bowling as a SP is probably the weirdest choice to me. And the Fitness one is basically $10 for a climbing treadmill. At least with laundry we'll get more than just washers and dryers (in case you missed it, we'll get washtubs and clotheslines too).
Actually, it's $10 for Stuff Packs.
Stuff Packs are what The Sims 3 store used to be... very small, niche themes. This is Loads of Laundry, which sold for 1,080 simpoints for TS3... which is just over $10 USD. For only 16 items. With the clothes and objects already confirmed for this pack, the $10 we spend for laundry in TS4 is already a better deal than the TS3 store was.
And in a SP which the theme is supposed to be Eco Living
