    Welp... I want them all :cry:

    I want a sim in an apartment going to the local laundry mat to clean their clothes.
    A sim who goes to a cabin to escape modern life and work the land a bit
    A sim who makes and sells jams and preserves in their shop

    The other one... can't think of anything :lol:

    @DominicLaurence - I agree with you. Off the Grid adds the most new storytelling options and a new level of challenge. Even though I would love food processing as well, I think it fits so well with a farming/seasons theme and also just expands on stories I can already tell (gardening Sims) instead of opening up totally new storytelling possibilities. I would be happy if either one won, though, and wouldn't even mind laundry since it would come with non-machine options.

    I was torn between them as well, it took me while realizing my vote. Our garden really can use some improvement in gameplay (which I think that anyway they heard us) but having the possibility of adding something so distinct for once got me. I wouldn't mind either but it would sadden me a bit placing this pack among the other ones which I use everything but the main feature haha

    I picked laundry, solely because I think the Eco-Pack won originally because people wanted laundry. If laundry doesn't win, I expect a big uproar. (Well, if laundry wins, I expect an uproar too...)

    I want laundry, but the other options also sounded good, particularly the food preserving. To be honest, the food preserving looks like more interesting gameplay, but I would use laundry in nearly every household.

    I always wonder what if the name of the theme were Laundry and eco-living were just a possible feature instead. Would it also be accused of misleading votes now? We would have picked the same items and clothes? How much were we influenced by the name. And if it was split would the people who voted for the eco features vote for laundry and would laundry win without the votes of people who wanted the eco pack? Digressions.

    i picked off the grid. the jam thing was cute too tho..
    i hope laundry doesn't win because i know the possibility of laundry is the reason eco-living won and i'm a spiteful plum.

    I've read all of them, but the only one who really interested me was the "Off the Grid".. All the others had at least one option that interested me, but I liked all about "Off the grid", and even before this vote I was already in love with the idea of something like that in my game. <3
    Its really great that we have the option to vote, and I want to tank again for let us vote.. Very very thanks for that, I'm loving participating in this creation with all other Simmers. :)

    I chose "off the grid". It's probably the only one I would actually get any kind of gameplay with, personally. Definitely have no use for laundry, though the washtub and clothesline wouldn't be bad for my retro sims, but only cosmetically. And I feel like the game is already overly food-centric enough, so the canning and jam thing has zero appeal for me. That other one with recycling and dumpster diving was a definite no, so I went with the one that I might actually get something out of.

    Of course, to be fair, I initially chose the dangerous pack, so I can't really say that I'm over the moon with the choices to begin with, haha. But the lot trait does hold some appeal. :)

    I went with Off The Grid since it sounded the most interesting, but Food Preserves was a close second. I really don't get the enthusiasm for Laundry, TBH.

    I was torn between Off the grid and Food preserves, decided for Off the grid eventually.

    Unlike in the very first vote, where there were two pack concepts that I absolutely did NOT want, in this one I'd be happy with any of the four themes.

    I ended up picking Laundry but I really hope we get more than one of them. To be honest, they all looked -really- good my favorites being laundry and of grid. I liked the preserving option as something else to do with all the vegetables I tend to get. I really wish we could have all of them.

    I thought hard and almost went with off the grid, but I know I'll personally use laundry in every single household I make forever, and I'll make only a few off grid sims. Also, many of the chosen objects have home and clothes cleaning themes, so I went with that as it fits the theme better.

    Did you use it in every household in Sims 3? The fascination with it went right out the door after the third day of having it in Sims 3. Green stink and obnoxious noise in my game is not fun - so now none of my sim 3 houses have laundry. Problem solved.

    Yes, I used it in every single home, and bought all of the store washers and dryers too. I love it because it's so immersive to me, and laundry rooms were a big part of my builds.

    I voted for the canning/nectar making. I really like when our sims can produce new stuff, it also would pair well with Get to Work, I would open a store that sells wines nectars and jams.

    All the choices would be wonderful to have but I yeah, I ultimately went with canning/nectar making to sell in a shop too.

    Actually I skipped this one. Quite honestly they all sound so boring to me. Laundry wasn't even that fun in TS3. It's just not the sort of gameplay I'm interested in. I remember how people were so hyped to get dishwashers in the beginning and I was like really? Sorry for sounding like a Debbie Downer, but it is just how I feel.

    I can not understand how people prefer a repeat experience, which in the case is laundry, than a new experience never done in The Sims before.

    I chose Off the Grid! I was really happy to see the option. It was the only one of them that I'd ever been like "i wish I could do this" about before. I can see it being used a lot for story telling purposes and atmosphere.

    If we were asked to rank them it would have been:
    1.Off the Grid
    2.Food Preserves
    3.Laundry
    4.Carbon Conscious.

    I voted for the preserving/nectar stuff. I always have gardener and foodie sims, and this is something that would make me purchase the pack for sure. Off the grid sounds interesting too, though. I might buy that version too.
