Re: [Info] Take part in the creation of a new Stuff Pack

@redashxo, I agree that SimGuruGraham described our different gameplay styles so well, and how the debate over laundry really boils down to and perfectly describes those two styles of gameplay! 
I'm kind of a mixed-type of player. Sometimes I want more simulation, and sometimes I want more gameplay activities. I guess that is why while I prefer more useful activities for my Sims, I'm not mad at "non-useful" activities. I did enjoy laundry in TS3, but I don't really need to have it in TS4. That said, I have yet to make my childhood home, and my current home, and since both of those have laundry rooms, if we didn't have them in the game when it came time to recreate them for me, then I would probably be sad! 
LOL
@EA_Mai, no! I failed to see the flowers in the brides hair! 
My ADD/OCD kicked in and I was to distracted and obsessed by the jean-jacket on one of the brides! LOL :eahigh_file: I was more suprized since when I looked at the 80's clothes I kept wondering why there were no jean-jackets on both the male and female Sims because they were extremely popular in the 80's! And then, lo an behold, there is a jean-jacket on a bride, no less! But now I really wish we had the Wedding pack with that gorgeous bridal hair!
For that pack, I really loved the gauzy curtains, light and flower garlands, and I am in love with the chandelier with the candles and greenery! And I think the little iced-tea jug is perfect! While I don't throw too many weddings in my game, I would use a lot of those items anyway, just for non-wedding and non-party uses. 
Did anyone else who has the Cats & Dogs EP notice that in most of the houses that came with the pack have ample room for washers and dryers?!? In some cases there were whole rooms that were empty! Its like they are waiting to be laundry rooms! 
I thought this was very thoughtful of the people who designed the houses for Cat & Dogs!
@unseenlarks, a fellow Duran Duran fan! :eahigh_file:
One of the reasons I fell in love with my husband was not only was he a fan of Duran Duran, he admitted it! So many guys secretly liked their music but were too chicken to admit it 
, especially after their heyday in the 80's. I never respected those guys! Heck, I never respected those girls either! I'd rather be friends with someone who actually didn't like them than waste time with fake people who lie about what music they like. If they lie about such small stuff, imagine what big stuff they are lying about! 
I still hope they make the Arcade SP or at least an 80's SP or a GP with all sorts of decades. Or better yet, a time travel EP where we can include all sorts of styles from different time periods. I loved the pack from TS3 that had 70's, 80's, & 90's items! I don't think they would do my time travel EP, but it is still nice to dream! LOL
You mentioned that the Arcade SP would have been "simply *perfect* for my Sims-story". May I ask what is this Sims-story you are working on?!? 
*sigh* a 1980s SP would be a dream come true. also, i adore stuff from the 1920s and 1950s. so a "decades" GP would be really cool.
the main plot of my story (it could be a novel, actually!) begins in 1990 and ends in 2016, but the main characters have already met by the mid-eighties. so playing their backstory (i have not made a save for that yet) would require lots of 1980s stuff.
i don't do much gameplay for it, to be honest. just add all the characters they meet to the worlds, but not even in chronological order. it's just so i can take screenshots and "see" my characters as similar as possible to what they look like in my head.
the actual plot and subplots are really detailed by now... the problem is i don't/can't write any more, so i just imagine it and i let it unfold/add to it/develop characters/etc. it makes me very sad so the Sims-story is a way to cope somehow.
Omg yess!! I adore the Wedding idea and I still think that they should make use of those beautiful ideas and add them to the Sims 4. Before, I ever even joined the forums and learned about the voting on the future stuff pack, I thought to myself Sims 4 could use more wedding stuff! Its just so beautiful and cute... I love that room and the hair and outfits so much it would be tragic not to make use of that art. I hope it will be as early as Spring 2018. It seems they have made a lot of progress on the pack. I appreciate the Sims 4 team so I am not trying to get ahead of myself, I just love adding to my SIms 4 collection and building my world, advancing my sims. I love where the Sims is going. I am committed to my Legacy! Thank you so much for your response @EA_Mai! Keep up the awesome work!

The Laundry day stuff pack will release next week Jan. 16.
You can even do it the old fashioned way. Though I'm probably the only one here to have actually done my Laundry that way.
