A list of activities that increase industrial footprint ?

So I played conifer station and took the time to change all walls papers floor of all houses to industrial heavy. Within a week I got to full industrial status. Immediately after that the industrial bar dropped instantly to just 20% and the arrow is aggressively moving green. Definitely a bug. it is not possible to stay in industrial status for longer then a few days.

Interestingly when the bar dropped to neutral it did not revert my hood status back to neutral ! Instead It stays industrial and the arrow is now heading back to industry. It is weird. But I am happy I can stay industrial for a while now it seems !

I think you also need to not have sims in the neighbourhood recycle or use the sustainable lifestyle options like eco energy and water supply. I had a sim do nothing but dumpster dive and recycle in Port Promise and it's eco foot print it neutral now.

Having now stayed in industrial state for several sims weeks I am starting to think I have been reading the eco footprint bar wrong. I assume they this whole bar represent the whole spectrum of the footprint. On the left you are fully green in the middle neutral and on the right you have industrial. Now I think the circle in the middle moves up and down the scale! If the arrow is pointing right then the circle move to the right and when it hits full industrial, the brown bar disappears and you are now in the new state where the left is neutral, the middle is industrial and the right is even more industrial.

Ohhh I noticed this yesterday with the green footprint good to know

I say awesome because I kinda love that you have to work to keep things green. I can't wait to figure out the community center.

Aw glad this thread exists. I'm now gonna put only high-consumption appliances in my house and see if that helps lol. Also, I noticed that there's only wallpaper with an environment loss? The one from Strangerville? Did you find any others?

You will likely need to edit all the lots in the hood to achieve industrial. Good luck ! There are not many wallpapers and flooring with industrials scores. It seems easier being green in the sims 4.

It worked out relatively well by using only high consumption electrical items, industrial footprint decor, and a couple of generators. ? I had cheated it to the middle but it shot up right to the upper extreme overnight ? somehow I hadn't even considered the consumption aspect of showers etc. Dunno how quickly it would've gone if we'd started from green or neutral though.

Ok look like my interpretation of the footprint bar is wrong. I stay in industrial state for a while and suddenly without the arrow pointing left too much (lets say I don’t see any green bar developing) suddenly I am back to neutral because a few of my power generators burnt down in a huge fire .... I don’t understand how the footprint system works .
