I am very curious but can any one tell me why the Strangerville world is exempt from an Ecological footprint? In any other map we can play parts of the Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack but not in Strangerville?
Does any one know why that is? By the way, we can't play it in the holiday maps either.
@Trismagistos, because Strangerville has its own "footprint" and even weather pattern that has to do with the mystery! 😉
If they had added the ecological footprint on top of this , it would have been very convoluted. Besides, most people playing Strangerville have their own set of problems to solve, and probaly would rather play the Mystery over ecology in the first place. 😇
@PugLove888 Of course I am aware of that!
But in that case. I am still not sure why it can not be be made playable on holiday worlds too. Especially on a holiday i would like to see the grander scheme of things. To many tourist could also ruin a nice Ecological holiday spot. I dearly love your explanation for Strangerville and you even gave me some idea's for Evergreen Harbor 😈 And i will even try them, when I feel up to it.
In theory you could but ask yourself "I'm on vacation for e few days, would I rather enjoy my time exploring the jungle or spend my time cleaning the environment a little in the few days I'm her?". The latter would not be much of a vacation would it? and in the time you are there you would at most manage to enact one NAP.
@Trismagistos, the problem with this is just like @jpkarlsen stated -- most vacationing Sims wont have enough time to make an ecological impact. Also, if you are so busy trying to change the ecology of the vacation areas , that doesn't give your vactioning Sim much time for vacation activities, so it would be pointless for your Sims to even vacation there in the first place! 😞 We take our Sims to Granite Falls or Selvadorada in order to do activities that are unique to those areas. 🥳 Why waste time doing the same tasks you have to do when at home?
Also, even if we were given the option of having an ecological footprint in the vacation worlds, because of the short time our Sims are there, we wouldn't be able to do hardly anything ecological at all, at least to make much of an impact... so then a lot of players would be mad that EA gave them the option for something that is impossible to do! 😮😢 It would be just the illusion of a choice and not a real choice! 😞
Embrace the Mother Plant and all will be well
