Your honest opinion on Laundry day stuff.

To be honest - I think it's pretty cool, however just giving my opinion, I think it costs a lot just to do laundry, and have new items in CAS. But for people who don't do their laundry in real life (me) this is gonna be cool. :wink:

Edit: At 00:34 it looks like he is washing a zucchini. :lol:

    I like what I see so far; I'm a fan of the style for CAS and B/B. I know many people are all "why the heck would you pay to do laundry?", but it's the same answer for every other "why do you like....?" about the Sims. It's because we just, uh, do.

    I agree.

    I like any new pack for the CAS & build/buy objects, but usually get bored/annoyed with the game play after about a week. I'll probably enjoy this pack for the first day, then forget it's there. I'm more looking forward to the game pack coming next month.

    Yeah. Laundry is quite a small feature and I do like the clothes and building/furniture objects in the game. I'm honestly not that fond of small packs and I will also forget about it.

    After seeing the live stream, I'm way more into it than I was at first. The gameplay aspect of it is a lot more than I thought it'd be.

    I am one of those who really wanted laundry back and I think they have gone above my expectations! I can't wait for Tuesday!

    The graphics are rough on the clothing in the washing machine and on the clothesline. Reminded me of the ballpit...

    I recommend that you head over to twitch and watch the lastest broadcast from The Sims. On Jan 12th they showed off the laundry day stuff back. They added a lot of detail into this pack. I mean it looks like simple laundry but it's complex laundry if that's even such a thing

    Where is the Eco Living part? Eco Living was the pack idea that won. Did everything with Eco Living get thrown out the window?

    My honest opinion ..

    Here's the thing, I did want more housework and I did want laundry included in a pack but not a stand alone pack. It would have fit parenthood perfectly with the chore charts. I'll buy it and I will use it but I think it's silly as a stand alone pack. What next, will we get a pack dedicated to garden sprinklers? I mean it's just weird and beyond that it is frustrating that we just keep getting dinky stuff packs trickling in. At this rate by the time TS5 rolls out we will need to micro purchase the ability to wash dishes or clean the shower. And I live in the country, their idea of "country clothing" is weird. Like country clothes are thrift store clothes. Hippy clothes sure but not country.

    Bottom line is I'll buy this pack because I'm a completist and in to far to not get whatever I can to add gameplay but it's going on my growing list of why TS4 will be my last sims game.

    It is not eco-living, which is what won. I think this is yet another pack that I will wait to purchase until it is $5 or less. I have gotten a majority of the stuff packs for $5 or less anyway.

    I think its the thrift store clothes that they call country clothes... BTW I'm all for thrift shopping but I'm not liking them calling it country clothes but whatever.

    Cards on the table: The laundry process itself looks detailed and I like the fact that sims will not just leave their dirty clothes at their feet no matter what room they are in. (Unless they are slobs) I was surprised that the drier can catch fire and I can only hope its not too regular as there will be complaints and it will be nipped in the bud. *cough aliens cough*

    And finally standing in a puddle fixing electrical appliances will increase your chances of a shock ala the Sims 3. Weather or not it will affect other appliances like the dishwasher will remain to be seen but I'm not too optimistic.

    I like many of the cas items and decor I admit.

    Slightly bummed that this packs contribution to "eco living" is a wash basin and clothes line. But I've said this many times already and sadly its not going to change. I feel sorry for those who voted for this theme Not wanting laundry and got stuck with it.

    I wasn't sure, but the livestream made it look pretty good.

    I like for my sims to have chores to do.
    I don't need a full range of chores, just a few.
    Seeing as clothes can get really funky if you don't wash them, doing laundry makes sense.

    Someone posted more detail that is not seen in the trailer and it looks like the did a good job on it.
    I liked having my sims doing laundry in TS3 and it looks like EA improved on the theme a great deal for TS4.

    My honest opinion... they put a lot of thought into this pack and I think I'll be very happy with it. I like that they implemented some things from Sims 3 (the clothes going into the hamper but improved it where you didn't need a hamper in every corner of the house. I hated that). I think it's cool that the quality of the clothes will degrade as they sit. That is one of my favorite little features of surprise that they added. And I really like how, without the tub, clothes, hampers, or washer and dryer on the lot, it's no different then what it is now. Cause sometimes, I'm not going to want laundry with a household. I am disappointed about no laundry mats, but, that is really all that I am disappointed about with this pack.

    I was told many years ago that I'm a Mundane. Be that as it may, I enjoyed it when laundry was introduced in Sims3, and I'm excited to have it back in Sims4. I'm also excited that a SP they invited us to have some input in, is going to drop next week. I intend to remodel the Wright Way House ( that I copied from another player who brought it into the Sims3), which I brought to Sims4. I have a family currently living in it and they need room for a washer and a dryer. I'm also very curious to know if we put hampers in the rooms, if the clothes will automatically fly into it (as it did in Sims3) or if we'll have to drag it there ourselves? (Would that sort of thing could happen in RL, no? No more piles of dirty laundry in the bedrooms, or the bathroom floor, or God forbid, the bottom of the closet!)

    @millsmolls , since you decline to do your own laundry, which is fine since your parents appear to not mind, I do hope you know how to do laundry. I never required any of my three children to do their own clothing while under my roof while they were kids. But, I made sure they knew the fundamentals of how to do it. (Not that any of my lessons stuck. They don't sort by color, let alone by fabric, they just lump it all in together. Disparaging how I was taught as "old school". :o ) [I personally, can't stand dingy used-to-be-white socks.] To me, that was Eco at work. To have them separate their stuff out from their parents' would lead to more loads.
