Here we are, the 98th stuff pack for this friggin game.

And as bland as that sounds to me, this time I can’t ask the rhetorical question of “who

That’s right, for the first time the Sims Team made a stuff pack that was voted on by

For the past year, simmers were given choices to vote on among six aspects of an upcoming

pack: Theme, art style, objects and clothing, gameplay features, icon, and title.

And yeah, there were some pretty neat things available at first, including "Eco Living

Stuff", "Starter Home Stuff", "Arcade Stuff", "Dangerous Stuff", and "Wedding Stuff.”

The people voted on Eco Living Stuff, which was described as letting players “Adopt

new home technologies to help your Sim with domestic responsibilities

Potential areas of focus include laundry, home technology, and solar energy.”

And over the rest of the year, simmers voted and voted and voted until we ended up with

the most vanilla pack possible: Laundry Day stuff.

But hey, maybe you like vanilla, and in that case it’s time to dive into your day of

laundry in this thirteenth stuff pack for The Sims 4.

Yeah I’m not exaggerating that number, for the first time we have entered into the teens

in terms of number of stuff packs for a single Sims game.

Or maybe he is, that looks like the most fun he’s had his whole life.

*Ralph silently screaming with joy as the dryer rotates*

What would a laundry pack be without some new potential laundry, and this pack provides

a small assortment of clothing items for your sims.

Not a whole lot really, just about twenty items across all ages and genders.

But whatever, your sims probably have more than enough clothing by now, so let’s jump

There are around 50 new items to buy in-game, mostly pertaining to washing clothes and providing

a rustic home aesthetic -- which makes sense considering one of the possible names for

To begin with, there are only two chairs this time around, which really left me feeling

But sit tight, there’s also a new love seat and an ottoman.

As well as two tables, one of which seats six around its circumference.

You also get four larger pieces of non-interactive furniture, some non-interactive laundry wall

clutter, some shelves, a sizable assortment of rugs,

windows and doors, two sinks, a hanging bulb and a sitting candle bowl,

In fact, quite a few of the items here are wicker, which not only fits the rustic theme

but provides a cheeky reference in calling them WICKER WHIMS.

Guess it was HARD not to make that reference, a chance like that only COMES around so often,

Butt hole-d on, isn’t this pack about laundry?

Indeed it is, and thankfully you’re given a few ways to wash because man, sims sure

There’s a washer, a dryer, and a stacked washer/dryer combo, each of which work exactly

When sims get their clothes dirty, or wet, or smelly, sims can either plop their clothes

in a nearby hamper or stick ‘em straight into the washer.

Once that’s done, they go into the dryer.

There are a few other things to worry about, like removing lint from the dryer between

loads to prevent fires and upgrading them to increase wash speed and clothing cleanliness,

Sims can also enjoy the pleasure of watching their wash wash, and

But if you’d rather go a bit more traditional, sims can also do laundry in a more manual

This takes a whole lot longer of course, but it does provide the extra incentive of increasing

Oh and you can also drop in laundry additives into whatever wash method you use, and these

Want some grilled cheese-scented laundry?

Yeah, 2018 is off to a weird start, both here and in real life: food is a laundry additive,

And the additional activities continue with the rather chunky clothesline, an energy-saving

It’s also an incredibly slow one, often taking half of an entire sim-day

At least it gives any nearby cats a little something extra to do.

And if you’re like me and don’t want to bother with all of this stuff, then keep in

mind it is entirely optional, just like laundry in The Sims 3.

Your sims don’t actually need to do laundry at all, not only because they have infinite

clothing, but because the laundry needs won’t actually pop up until you install a washer

It really is just a role-play kind of thing for you to enable as you see fit

There are benefits of course, like sims feeling happier wearing warm, clean clothing, and

feeling down when their clothing is wet or stinky.

But it’s the same exact kind of temporary emotion-altering effects you get from any

number of existing items in the game already, just under a new skin with some new animations,

so don’t expect anything too game-changing here.

And that’s The Sims 4 Laundry Day Stuff.

But in my own ideal world, I think this would’ve worked just fine as part of an expansion,

Imagine having hot days dry your clothes on the clothesline faster, or rain getting them

all wet again so you have to rush to take them down during a storm.

Not only that, but it boggles my brain that the community voted against themes like Arcade

Stuff and Dangerous Stuff for... household chores.

Something we’ve seen before and frankly, I didn’t think was all that engaging to
