Your honest opinion on Laundry day stuff.

I am one of those who really wanted laundry back and I think they have gone above my expectations! I can't wait for Tuesday!

The graphics are rough on the clothing in the washing machine and on the clothesline. Reminded me of the ballpit...

I recommend that you head over to twitch and watch the lastest broadcast from The Sims. On Jan 12th they showed off the laundry day stuff back. They added a lot of detail into this pack. I mean it looks like simple laundry but it's complex laundry if that's even such a thing

We don't speak of the ballpit...

I'm excited!! @ldmarko What's the gamepack coming next month?

Where is the Eco Living part? Eco Living was the pack idea that won. Did everything with Eco Living get thrown out the window?

My honest opinion ..

Here's the thing, I did want more housework and I did want laundry included in a pack but not a stand alone pack. It would have fit parenthood perfectly with the chore charts. I'll buy it and I will use it but I think it's silly as a stand alone pack. What next, will we get a pack dedicated to garden sprinklers? I mean it's just weird and beyond that it is frustrating that we just keep getting dinky stuff packs trickling in. At this rate by the time TS5 rolls out we will need to micro purchase the ability to wash dishes or clean the shower. And I live in the country, their idea of "country clothing" is weird. Like country clothes are thrift store clothes. Hippy clothes sure but not country.

Bottom line is I'll buy this pack because I'm a completist and in to far to not get whatever I can to add gameplay but it's going on my growing list of why TS4 will be my last sims game.

I think its the thrift store clothes that they call country clothes... BTW I'm all for thrift shopping but I'm not liking them calling it country clothes but whatever.

Cards on the table: The laundry process itself looks detailed and I like the fact that sims will not just leave their dirty clothes at their feet no matter what room they are in. (Unless they are slobs) I was surprised that the drier can catch fire and I can only hope its not too regular as there will be complaints and it will be nipped in the bud. *cough aliens cough*

And finally standing in a puddle fixing electrical appliances will increase your chances of a shock ala the Sims 3. Weather or not it will affect other appliances like the dishwasher will remain to be seen but I'm not too optimistic.

I like many of the cas items and decor I admit.

Slightly bummed that this packs contribution to "eco living" is a wash basin and clothes line. But I've said this many times already and sadly its not going to change. I feel sorry for those who voted for this theme Not wanting laundry and got stuck with it.

I wasn't sure, but the livestream made it look pretty good.
