Please use this thread going forward: [ECO] Footprint Still Gives moodlets With It Turned Off | EA Forums - 12096758
@Valdesca Your screenshot shows the eco footprint which means you didn't turn it off. I did turn it off. That's kinda what I'm pointing out. I'm getting the sun rays, the clean air moodlet, the aurora, but my eco footprint option is turned off not on. I didn't even get a message telling me I'm Green nor do I have the bar to tell me because I turned off that option entirely, yet things are happening as if it were turned on and I were green. I think when you turn off the eco footprint, I shouldn't have anything to do with the footprint, but I am. The sun rays, the clean air moodlet, and the aurora should only appear if I have the eco footprint turned on, not off. So I think you must have misunderstood me somehow or you didn't manage to turn it off properly.
@PriestessAvenara I'm having the same issue! This is from a save that was PRE-ECO LIFESTYLE. This has only started happening recently. My sim lives in a $900K mansion in Del Sol Valley & even though I have both the eco options under Game Options>Pack settings unticked AND also have the 'build mode items grant gameplay effects' unticked under Game options> Gameplay.
I first noticed this because my bills were over $400k!!! So I went in and made sure all 3 were unticked, saved, completely exited the whole game, restaarted TS4, loaded the game & although I know I had applied the settings, and all 3 boxers were still unticked, when the game loaded it went straight into an INDUSTRIAL footprint again! I get moodlets that the air is not clean & my sim coughs & wants to go inside.
So I thought if I removed some of the industrial items from the lot that it would help - nope. Tried clicking all the three options above & applying the changes, then closing game options & then going back in & un-ticking them all again - that works for a little while but as soon as my sim returns from work the smog comes back!!
I've also had a bug where my sim will return from work but it still says she's at work - that issue has been happening for MONTHS.
So frustrating....and NOW I just received a notification that because my residence is not following the eco guidelines of the NAP that my bills are gooing to be EVEN HIGHER! THERE SHOULD NOT BE A N.A.P.!!!!
This is honestly so rediculous & frustrating. No amount of applyiong changes, restoring defaults, exiting & re-loading etc seems to make any lasting difference, and because it resets the footprint every time my sim goes to work I'm having to fix it every sim day.
