Do we really want to have to do laundry in the Sims? How exciting. What next:
Tax Day? Watch your sims struggle doing their taxes.
Gas Station? Watch your Sims gas up a car and buy some chips from in the Gas Mart.
Bathroom Day? Watch your sims scrub and clean the whole bathroom.
Tax Day? Watch your sims struggle doing their taxes.

I can actually imagine that: A sim sitting at the pc (because forms are too old school
Evil sims can brag about not paying their taxes whilst good sims can talk about doing their taxes.
Add in a few chairs, a hair style or two for adults, a new top, one full outfit, clutter, a new coffee table, perhaps a new counter or two and you have a stuff pack.
But then some people do want more domestic chores. More power to them I guess.
It is when people use the vacuum for the garden is when I get concerned and I actually expect that to be something they would put in TS4 just for the added 'wow factor'
It seems to be something that older people like to do. Elders have always needed more things to do in THe Sims anyway!

> Least you are not one of the people who thinks the polls were rigged in some way. It's like despite the fact that there are people who openly admitted to voting for Laundry people think it's impossible to have an opinion that is the complete opposite of theirs. I agree that Laundry isn't a lot of peoples first choice, but that's just the way the way the cookie crumbles. I do hope that people eventually get what they've been asking for.
actually now that you bring it up, rigging the votes doesn't sound too far fetched considering the laundry day pack seemed like it would be quick to complete compared to the others. But I don't know the truth so I'm not gonna say any more.
> Not exactly, the arcade pack could have easily used some of the stuff from Get Together or atleast made used the big arcade machine and re-modeled it. Also the gurus seem to realize just how "silly" the idea is as shown with the trailer and just how much detail went into it. I'd like to atleast think the gurus are better than rigging some poll.
I hope so lol
Sometimes your creativity is limited where you use it most, but you can use those limitations to inspire new forms of creativity you may never have thought of beforehand.
And they didn't even make Laundry annoying in this version, you can completely opt out of it. If you don't want Laundry but only the other objects, you can do that. Otherwise you can just skip the pack.
Besides that; like mentioned earlier in this thread; people voted for it (including me. (Why? Because I simply did not really like the rest of the themes)) so the demand for Laundry was high enough.
But don't worry; there probably will be another 165 stuff packs to look forward to. Maybe there is something for you to enjoy too.
They also probably dont have real grass. If you get that fake plastic turf grass you have to vaccuum it lmao its easier for them to vaccuum the lawn than mow it. Maybe not the woman in the first pic since i see browning spots but id definitely say fake grass in the second one and possible fake grass in the third

Might be a good theme for adding laptops, at least.
Housecleaning in Sims 4 has been borked for some time -- used to be you could click on the floor and choose Clean House... when your Sim had the Neat trait and they'd go through and find everything that needed cleaning -- stinky toilets, dirty baths/showers, dirty dishes in weird places, etc. It was a good way to take care of the random "dirty surroundings" moodlet when I couldn't find the actual culprit. Neat Sims could even go on a Cleaning Frenzy. And there's still the Speed Cleaning reward trait. I'd like to see regular cleaning get fixed now that we've got the laundry.
I do like some of the moodlets from the laundry, though so far my Sim only gets the Sad moodlet for wearing damp clothing because her clothes never dry completely. And supposedly
so you don't have to worry about Sims dying of laughter all over the place.

Actually some of the choices were really great -- I voted for Off the Grid personally because I really want solar panels and wind turbines back in the game, and it offered a lot of options for future gameplay. For example, if we had solar panels and we get Seasons, what happens in winter when there's less sunlight? Others favored the choice with the canning station for making jams and pickled vegetables. Some liked the idea of more danger in their games, and some liked the wedding stuff that could have added veils and improved weddings. I'm still hopeful that some (if not all) of the choices make it into the game, either as SPs or part of larger EPs and GPs (Off the Grid could make it into something Seasons related or the canning station and nectar making could be in a rural/farming related pack.)

Gurus just like overdosing with happy buffs/moodlet content in dlc to the point that sims start to die from laughter. @DeservedCriticism, no wonder it's an issue that you found.
I warned em!
The problem they're gonna run into is they can't produce ANY playful moodlets in the future, and Goofball is going to become an extremely unappealing trait. The problem is not the playful moodlets, but rather the spam of Happy moodlets. Any playful moodlet on it's own is absolutely fine. The risk of death only occurs specifically because you can't go two feet without tripping over another item that gives a happy moodlet.
They seriously need to consider overhauling the moods system in some way. Happy should perhaps not combine with any other moods and should be considered the weakest moodlet of the bunch, aka 3 happy moodlets = 1 focused moodlet for example and focused gets priority in that case. They'd also have to readjust when death occurs for Playful if they did this.
Of course, it's much more easy to be really lazy and just adjust the Playful death specifically to be like +23 Playfulness, so my money's on them doing that while Happy Moodlet spam continues until they have to adjust the playful death count yet again.
