Laundry mats
laundry mat would be a good idea. Not just putting laundry machines on town lot but taking out sim dollers when the sims use the machine or using a lot trait that has "lot fee". This is good on the enviourment and gets your sims out of the house witch we all need. Plus cool build ideas in mind.
Choose concentrated detergent
Different choices of detergent, there are some better then others. We should have a choice of different ones that would cost a lot more.
Make your own laundry detergent
The idea being able to make our own detergent. Could take certin ingredients such as lemons and flowers (the flowers is not realistic but it's the Sim lol) for the homemade ones but better on cost.
Controlling your wash cycle, load amount and dryer temperature
This is very realistic, when washing cloths. If we are able to control the amount of cloths we put in the washer and dryer as well as the was cycle. In rl maximizing the washer and dryers is good on your pockets. Also adding the fact that it might not clean your clothing as good with so much in the washer and dryer. The option to use dryer sheets should also be included as it is can give clothing a fresh sent.
Using different types of washers
There are a lot of different kinds of machines that wash clothing better and cost a lot out right but better on the bill.
Use of machines at different times cost more.
Just like in rl, if you use the machines at certain times or days it cost a lot more. Can we please get the laundry chart in game that shows the low cost times to do laundry. If we do laundry at those times and days the bill should go up a lot more.
Sabotage
This isn't really cost efficient but for sims who have "Evil" or any other trait it would make sense to, could sabotage the machines and go through the machines finding coins or something. Would be great if we get a watch machine choice to make sure if your at the laundry mat no one goes though your things, cause it happens lol. This is a long shot but would be cool.
Any other ideas are welcome sorry for spelling errors

Since laundry is more limited than dangerous stuff, off the grid, & canning, if you keep both country & Eco in the description, then I feel that they should offer us quiet a bit. Throwing in a cheap washer dryer that isn't eco and the line/tub would be limiting considering all the work that would've gone into this pack had it had dangerous stuff, off the grid, or canning.
A wringer washer wouldn't be much different than a stand up machine. I hope they offer the line/tub that they mentioned along with a standing rack, wringer washer, and wash board. If they are going to go off topic with machines that can't fit both country and eco, then they should at least deck out the country/poor/ect. parts of laundry to make up for it.
Besides, washing lines and tubs are "eco friendly."

Yes, I hope my homeless sims can aucally look homeless and wear dirty cloths. The line and tub are a good idea I just home they give laundry a purpose.

even though this particular one for sale is in the Carolinas - when I say Eco - this is what we visualize and work toward.

No that was the theme of this pack players choose back in April.
