Laundry Day needs some renew...

I've been in love with Laundry Day stuff pack for a long time. Laundry is actually a home activity I like to do and being able to do it in TS4 has been a dream come true. However, it has been 6 years since it came out and I noticed I've grown kinda bored over time. I noticed how simple the pack is and, sometimes, I've felt frustrated with the lacking of options in it, specially when it comes to the items that really make Laundry Day its thing.

We have:

  • Front loading (washing machine/dryer);
  • A wash tub;
  • Clothing hampers;
  • A clothesline.

With the rest of the pack, it's mostly construction options for furniture, doors and windows, mostly country styled, and other options such as laundry shelves and some ironing board; most of these, if not all of them, work as decorations and surfaces for random objects rather than actual functional objects for doing laundry, and that's what always makes me feel so frustrated and disappointed with this stuff pack. I know laundry is just a small portion of all that TS4 world has to offer, however, even if it is small, it shouldn't be so forgettable and bland. On one side I understand that the main objective of laundry is basically washing clothes, however, this pack becomes way too simple as: Wash clothes > Dry clothes > Wear clothes > and repeat, with nothing in between or no major feeling of actually having your clothes/garments well cared.

I've thought of things that should come with an update, to give even more options than we have:

  • Top loading washing machines and a classic stackable washer and dryer (I've grown with a top loading washing machine in my hometown);
  • Clothesline varieties (just one clothesline option becomes too boring, specially for gaudier houses);
  • An actual and functional ironing table (not mandatory in the laundry process, but if done can trigger positive moodlets for the sim);
  • More options on products for laundry (even if it's just for decoration, I've been using the same laundry product in TS4 for 6 years);
  • Moodlets for doing even deeper cleaning of your clothes (like, changing products can make a sim Inspired, ironing clothes can make a sim Confident. Or if a sim is clumsy, they have higher chances of burning clothes, which can make them Embarrassed and, assuming you have Seasons Expansion Pack, putting clothes to dry and then a rain comes by can make a sim Tense).

These are some of the ideas I have for an update that could make the Laundry Day Stuff Pack more interesting and appealing to the players of the game. I've been looking for CC for laundry in TS4 and, as much as the community manages to do everything it can to make the game more interesting, most of the time these mods don't actually fully work and some of them it's very very hard to find (almost impossible). So, I think the developers should take a look into making an update for this Stuff Pack.

These are my ideas and opinions and I want to hear what the community of TS4 has to say. I thank everyone for the attention and, hopefully, we can make this message get to the developers of the game and make it come true.

Thank you all so much!

  • Great suggestions. 

    What I need most is an indoor clothing rack. In combination with seasons it is very annoying we can only dry clothes outside without a dryer.  More variety for all the appliances and clothing lines is welcome.

    Perhaps we could get a laundry decoration kit. With a new washing machine and indoor clothing rack. Those would be decorative for people without laundry day and functional for people who do have laundry day. Even better would be adding them to the laundry day pack itself, of course.
