Laundry Day? Really? What next...

Yes, indeed, players did vote for this. Apparently lots of simmers love to watch their sims doing laundry or vacuum cleaning or mowing the lawn or watching paint dry. And since it’s easier to develop that than more challenging and in depth gameplay, EA will deliver. Your tax day example could in fact be pretty interesting by the way, if it would mean having to keep an eye on your budget. Unless the game play wouldn’t involve anything else than the animation of a moaning and groaning sim sitting behind a table filling in forms.

I can actually imagine that: A sim sitting at the pc (because forms are too old school ;) ) cursing and waving their fists and then the player is rewarded with an uncomfortable moodlet.

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.

Nothing wrong with vacuuming the carpet.

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!

salty?

Although, yes, players voted for laundry day, the options they let us pick from weren't the best imo. So it's not entirely our fault but a lot of players do seem to like the sp.

I actually saw that once in a monestry :D A monk vacuum cleaning the courtyard.

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.
