Why is the Strangerville world exempt from an Ecological footprint?

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 Strange...

@Trismagistos, because Strangerville has its own "footprint" and even weather pattern that has to do with the mystery! 😉

Spoiler

You could say that the footprint of Strangerville is that of the Mother! 😃

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!

My mother died and I dare not to revive her. And now she is dead I would like to have some neighborhood activities to lighten up de mood of the people who were affected by my mothers mood 😉
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.

    @jpkarlsen Thanks for your remark! But the way I play The Sims 4 gives me greater opportunities than just a couple of days holiday. One of my Sims already has over 60 days left and never felt like taking one day off. In that case he would love to have some fun on his holiday.
    But really what I am referring to is the fact that the holiday world could have an ecological footprint at the first place. Like for instance the neighborhood Grims Quarry in Evergreen Harbor.
    That would give players the opportunity to choose for themselves if and how they want to use it.
