The Sims 4: Laundry Day Stuff^[1] is the thirteenth stuff pack for The Sims 4.^[2] The pack marks the return of the laundry system, first introduced in The Sims 3: Ambitions, as well as new country-themed outfits and décor.

The stuff pack's development such as theme, content, icon and title was guided by a number of public community votes.^[3] The pack was released on January 16, 2018 for PC and OS X, and on August 14, 2018 for console.

Official description[]

Your Sims can now clean their clothes and also furnish their homes with country-themed décor. Say goodbye to dirty laundry and show off those spotless outfits, all while living it up in your rustic home with The Sims™ 4 Laundry Day Stuff.

Wash Your Wardrobe

Now your Sims can gather laundry, load the washing machinel and toss clothes in the dryer for a pristine look. Upgrade your machine to clean laundry faster or operate quietly to not disturb your household. Want your Sims to really live the country life? Have them hand wash their laundry in a washtub, then line dry for spotless clothes the neighbors are sure to envy.

Build a Rustic Home

Transform your Sim’s home with country-inspired décor that best suits your Sim’s lifestyle. Discover new ways to decorate household rooms with wooden tables and wicker furniture. Add decorative items, from colorful rugs and flower-filled baskets to lively succulents.

Dress in Country Style

Outfit your Sims in country-themed attire, from floral patterns to everyday denim. Styles include free-flowing tops and bottoms made from natural cotton fibers that give your Sims an authentic, rustic look. Try hassle-free hairstyles that complement your Sim’s comfortable style.

Development[]

On April 3, 2017, SimGuru Graham (Graham Nardone) posted a kick-off blog for the development of a new community-guided stuff pack.^[3] The first blog post included a poll to select the general theme of the new stuff pack, and gave five options: "Eco Living Stuff", "Starter Home Stuff", "Arcade Stuff", "Dangerous Stuff", and "Wedding Stuff". After the poll closed on April 6, "Eco Living Stuff" was selected as the theme for the new stuff pack. The pack theme has a brief description:

Adopt new home technologies to help your Sim with domestic responsibilities and live an eco-friendly life. Potential areas of focus include laundry, home technology, and solar energy.

On April 10, 2017 through April 12, 2017, a vote was held to determine the art style for the new stuff pack.^[4] Two style options, labeled "Style A" and "Style B," were voted on; "Style B" was ultimately chosen by the voters as the pack's general art style.

Based on the selected art style for the pack, concept art for 68 separate objects, as well as several CAS assets, were designed. A third community vote, from May 18 through May 21, 2017, narrowed the included objects down from 68 to 29.^[5]

The fourth community vote to decide gameplay features, held from June 23 to June 26, resulted in laundry being selected as the main feature of the pack.^[6]

The fifth community vote to decide the name of the stuff pack, held from September 6 to September 8, resulted in the name "Laundry Day Stuff" being chosen out of four possible options: Rustic Lifestyle Stuff, Rustic Home Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff, and Laundry Stuff.

The sixth community vote to decide the icon for the stuff pack, held from September 13 to September 15, presented four options: a clothespin, a pair of socks, a washing machine, and a hamper. The winning icon was a hamper.

During a live stream they confirmed that they may add a version of the door without a curtain and separate the sink and bucket to be two different objects.

On September 26, SimGuruGraham released a gif on Twitter showing a preview of the new clothesline object; the clothes gently moved in the breeze.
