Laundry Day Stuff Trailer!

Nice trailer, and I do like the washtubs, and possibly the rustic home. But I'm going to wait and see before buying it. Know I got impatient with the amount of time it took up in TS3 and started ignoring the wish to buy a washer/dryer unless the family could afford a maid.

Only the Hallelujah Chorus with Sims in Angel costumes to herald the arrival would have been more OTT....

I think that is hilarious! Fulfill your destiny to do laundry. The over the top music. The whole thing gave me the giggles. I think for 10$ its fine.

I do like the clothes line. My happy camper series of homes needs the clothes line :D

I agree. The trailer was hilarious.

It seemed like the person (or persons) who created it were having a little fun with how much the community seemed to want -- no, need -- something so mundane as laundry. Just look at the self-satisfied fourth-wall-breaking smile of the female Sim while she was carrying the laundry bag. LOL.

I don't give a hoot about laundry in a video game but the trailer is going on my favorites list. :D

ETA: While writing another post, I was just thinking about how much I missed that gesture that the kids used to do in TS2. "Oooh, what's that on your shirt? Psych!" That gesture is almost worth the price of the pack on it's own.

Almost. >:)

Yep, livin' for the new animation, "Hmm, did the New Washer ($10) leave a stain?? Nope--gotcha!"

Not gonna lie--I'd be hyped over Bathroom Accessory Stuff if it included TPing neighborhood houses. :mrgreen:

So I assume the Eco Stuff pack is next? Since this obviously isn't it nor what was voted for.

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

Originally it was presented as an eco living pack against some other pack choices I can't remember. Once the Eco pack idea wond it got dwindled and dwindled and became laundry. When I voted for the eco pack I didn't expect it would become a laundry pack I mean what does laundry have to do with eco living? By the time it got dumbed down from eco living to laundry it was too late.

My point is that when the voting was first handed to us laundry wasn't the option, Eco living was. Once eco living won and they kept pigeon holing the choices your eventually left with pick whats better a punch in the nose or a ham sandwich.

I'm not thrilled that its an eco pack that is basically thrift store objects a weird idea of country cloths and well laundry but at least it adds a chore for them to do and I'll still get it because it will add to the game BUT it definitely isn't anything near what I'd have expected an Eco living pack to become.

Still, I do like the trailer, good stuff that.

Actually, laundry was mentioned in the original options to do with the eco stuff pack. It's the whole reason that the eco theme won in the first place. (and I'm saying that as someone who originally voted against the eco-living theme.

Afraid to tell you, but it's exactly what people voted for, from the moment they mentioned laundry in the original write up for the eco living theme.

Country theme clothing, but no knotted shirt? What gives?

I hope sim's clothes get naturally dirty if they don't wash them with this pack.

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.

Wanna buy a pebble I found in my shoe? Don't worry it's cheap, it's only $10.

Is no one else bothered by the fact that the washer/drier doors open by themselves? I mean I wish sims would open them with one hand and put the clothes with the other.

Maybe automatics?...lol. Wish mine would do that IRL
