This is not going to help with your question, but I feel the same way about cars as I do about laundry: I have yet to understand the importance of adding mundane features to a game that is still missing so much in substance. I do like TS4, but I want things that add actual gameplay. Like useable beaches and ocean swimming, slow dancing and an attraction system, traits that actually have an impact on the personality and more careers with active components that have an impact on you Sims' environment.
I agree with this; I love discovering new features and animations in the game that have been added. It's so much more meaningful than objects. The fact that laundry was added as a stuff pack in itself makes me roll my eyes. IDK how laundry is so appealing that people would want to buy a stuff pack dedicated to only laundry lol. In TS3 it was added as part of Ambitions, which I never actually used when I played the game actively. I mean... fgs... laundry?! I bought my first washer and dryer this year, and went through a phase where I was kinda in awe with being able to do laundry in my own home but, trust me, it gets old fast. I play sims to escape reality and the last thing I want is more chores for my sims to do.
I stopped playing The Sims 3 before I got to fully utilize the Island Paradise expansion pack (I think I installed it, but never properly played it). I revisited TS3 for a little while a couple weeks ago, and realized how much I love the usable beaches, boating, and skydiving. I want that in The Sims 4.
