Laundry Day Stuff Trailer!

Well I can't wait, there is a spot in my sim's house just waiting for laundry stuff. I wonder if sims who did not wash for 5 days straight will run out of clean clothes since it's only 5 everyday outfits they can rotate. And I think they added value with the new type of clothes and build objects.

Doing laundry has never been so much fun!

That is not a challenge!

Still can't believe people voted for this.

The music and the trailer itself made me want to buy laundry and I don't even actually want it haha it was so funny.

I love laundry.

cant wait!
I voted for it and so happy it won and is finally here...love the washboard
Now just need seasons!

Best Part:-

• Music
  
• Buy Mode Objects
  

Worst Part:-

• Everything Else

Probably wont be getting it. I hated laundry in TS3.

I'll get it for the new clothes. Although I do like the washtub & that the machines are stackable. I just hope we don't get piles of dirty clothes everywhere like we did in 3.

I loved the trailer too, even though I think whoever made it was like I can’t believe this so let’s make it even more ridiculous lol . I mean...

...it’s laundry after all, so dirty clothes

That's exactly how I read it. It was a good-natured (I hope) poke at the community for sure. :D

Yeah , I don’t even blame them at this point lol. I’m really really REALLY trying to understand why people wanted this feature to a point they would pay for it. I mean it won, nothing to do there, but I truly don’t understand why. I mean we ask for such cool features sometimes and when we ar given the choice of picking sometime we chose ... laundry. It could have been a patch. Good thing CAS and Objects were the ones I actually voted for

I agree. Let's be honest it won because it was up against a lot of unknown concepts and it split the vote multiple ways. It was always going to win unless it went up against a bigger wanted feature.

But anyway I digress. Some of the cas items look nice but I can't justify nearly £10 on cas items. The machines themselves look good but its a chore. Literally we are paying for housework many of us do for free. I can't understand why people are happy to pay for laundry and I really can't understand they mindset of "I don't want it but ill buy it anyway" But to each their own. I have a gift voucher so if I were to get it would come off that but it doesn't look interesting enough to use for that.

It’s cheap so I won’t lose my sleep over it. What I don’t understand is how does this even work with the clothes system we have in the sims 4? Like I wonder if it’s only an animation or if actually has an effect on sims. Like fullfill some sort of need , like hygiene

It will probably work the same way it did in Sim 3 which had the exact same clothing set up as we do in Sims 4. There you only triggered the stuff that went along with it if you had the washer and dryer on your lot and when you washed it you got a moodlet (you could also get the moodlet if you washed your clothes at the laundry mat). From the trailer it seems like you get smelly if you don't wash your clothes so it might effect the hygiene bar the way toddlers and their dirty diapers do but it might just end up being a smell related moodlet of some sort.

As for why it won...well all the posts I've read it's people who like to play really realistically that want their sims to have a chore to do or builders that want to be able to have laundry rooms/areas in their build.

Personally my favorite part is that it will add something to rags to riches/off the grid style play which I enjoy in that it has the wash tub and laundry lines. Aesthetically it's another thing to add to the feeling of them not having a lot of money and the thought of that makes me happy.

I'm liking the washboards in the game. I have sims that are poor and I like to keep a bit of realism in their life on the road to success. There are two save files I have a lot of building plans for the laundry room to work on.
