Hi everyone!
Do you want to read an interview with SimGuruGraham about the creation of Laundry Day Stuff? 🙂
He answered some questions and shared lots of concept art! >> https://www.ea.com/news/behind-closed-doors-the-sims-laundry-stuff
Hope you find it interesting!

Thanks @EA_Mai ! I love to look behind the scenes, and I have enjoyed voting on the content of this pack! But now I'm really upset that the Arcade Stuff wasn't voted on since I love all the 80's stuff! 😢 (The middle guy's hair looks like John Taylor from Duran Duran! 😳❤️) I would have voted for the modern Japanese furniture since most of the American furniture looked too much like Mid-Century Modern, which I like, but it was popular in the 50's and 50's, not in the 80's! I think a European style would have been more accurate. Most of the American 80's furniture was either country with "country blue" being popular along with ducks and geese especially for kitchens; or for living rooms and bedrooms the desert South West was very popular -- but these don't go along with an arcade. Like I stated, the furniture from the 80's that best went along with an arcade was either Tokyo style Japanese stuff or European style furniture. An excellent recreation of the 80's style in pretty much all aspects was the KitKat commercial that came out this year. Pretty dang authentic, I did a double take and had to remind myself this commercial never aired until this year! 😃 (Kit Kat also made a 90's hip-hop commercial that is pretty great too! 🥳 )
The barnyard wedding theme had a lot of stuff I liked also!😇 Now i'm curious as to what the other theme choices would have looked like!
Thanks for directing us to this look behind closed doors! It was fascinating!
@CMeki, I never saw Stranger Things (I've just heard of it)! Now you've got me curious! 🤨:eahigh_file:

@PugLove888! i love the '80s too (and Duran Duran), and i wish we could have the Arcade SP. it would be simply *perfect* for my Sims-story. 🙂
(and thank you, @EA_Mai, for the updates!)

A release date hasn't been announced yet, @redashxo, although it will happen sometime 2018.
It's a bit difficult to decide, but if I have to choose my favourite concept art picture in the article, I would choose the wedding theme. I think it's the one I would use more in my game 🙂 Have you seen the flowers in her hair? ❤️

@unseenlarks, a fellow Duran Duran fan! ❤️:eahigh_file:🥳❤️ One of the reasons I fell in love with my husband was not only was he a fan of Duran Duran, he admitted it! So many guys secretly liked their music but were too chicken to admit it 🤒 , especially after their heyday in the 80's. I never respected those guys! Heck, I never respected those girls either! I'd rather be friends with someone who actually didn't like them than waste time with fake people who lie about what music they like. If they lie about such small stuff, imagine what big stuff they are lying about! 🤨
I still hope they make the Arcade SP or at least an 80's SP or a GP with all sorts of decades. 🥳 Or better yet, a time travel EP where we can include all sorts of styles from different time periods. I loved the pack from TS3 that had 70's, 80's, & 90's items! I don't think they would do my time travel EP, but it is still nice to dream! LOL 😉
You mentioned that the Arcade SP would have been "simply *perfect* for my Sims-story". May I ask what is this Sims-story you are working on?!? 😇
- unseenlarks8 years agoSeasoned Acei agree, @PugLove888! it's awesome when people talk about the music they enjoy... without leaving out whatever they think is embarrassing/a guilty pleasure. 😉
*sigh* a 1980s SP would be a dream come true. also, i adore stuff from the 1920s and 1950s. so a "decades" GP would be really cool.
the main plot of my story (it could be a novel, actually!) begins in 1990 and ends in 2016, but the main characters have already met by the mid-eighties. so playing their backstory (i have not made a save for that yet) would require lots of 1980s stuff. 😉
i don't do much gameplay for it, to be honest. just add all the characters they meet to the worlds, but not even in chronological order. it's just so i can take screenshots and "see" my characters as similar as possible to what they look like in my head.
the actual plot and subplots are really detailed by now... the problem is i don't/can't write any more, so i just imagine it and i let it unfold/add to it/develop characters/etc. it makes me very sad so the Sims-story is a way to cope somehow. - 8 years ago
Omg yess!! I adore the Wedding idea and I still think that they should make use of those beautiful ideas and add them to the Sims 4. Before, I ever even joined the forums and learned about the voting on the future stuff pack, I thought to myself Sims 4 could use more wedding stuff! Its just so beautiful and cute... I love that room and the hair and outfits so much it would be tragic not to make use of that art. I hope it will be as early as Spring 2018. It seems they have made a lot of progress on the pack. I appreciate the Sims 4 team so I am not trying to get ahead of myself, I just love adding to my SIms 4 collection and building my world, advancing my sims. I love where the Sims is going. I am committed to my Legacy! Thank you so much for your response @EA_Mai! Keep up the awesome work!❤️🙂
