Eco footprint always decaying to neutral

I downloaded a mod that was supposed to lock it in place but it still reverts. Hmmmmm?

I managed to have one hood stay industrial. Yea need to change every single lot in the hood to have industrial wallpaper and flooring. Not fun gameplay that is.

Can you let us know what mod?

Yea it's the one that starts with a B and ends with an L but it's considered an adult mod so can't be talked about.
They added an eco footprint feature. You can easily industrialize or whatever you want, to all words at once or only a district. And pause it.
Everything works but the pause. Still reverts to neutral for no reason. ??? AND I have ecofoot prints paused in the gameplay menu.

I'm just going to keep cheating it till somebody comes up with a fix that works.

Edit to say that mod just pushed out an update to better fix the decay issue so I will try it out and see if it's improved. It's not scarlets mod though. It's the adult one with a B
Rhymes with placement ?

It is the "no eco footprint decay" mod by scarlets: https://www.google.com/amp/s/scarletsmods.com/2020/06/17/no-eco-footprint-decay/amp/
However the mod only stops the footprint decay to neutral, It doesn't change anything else, the bar still won't reach to green. I just don't cheating in my game so I guess I'm gonna have to wait for a mod/patch to fix this (if it is even a bug).

I did that too!! No matter how eco friendly tge lots are it still says that it is "neutral" meaning they won't affect the eco footprint. Although the lot I play in says it's green it still doesn't help. Heck, even the smog vacuum that they kept showing off in their trailers didn't help at all.

Yeah, I hate how the system works. I tried to make an industrial world, filled every lot with heavy generators, water machines and bonfires with high industrial score and the houses were still marked as neutral and the world went straight back to neutral! Ugh!

My Eco footprint is Neutral in every neighborhood as well. Nothing changes. Shouldn't it be decaying over time if no one does anything to improve it?

On the other hand in my current game I turned off eco gameplay but after a while I got my eco is now green notification and the halo shine in the sky lol

Sigh. It's very frustrating and disappointing. I am hoping they do something about it because it makes the game play in this EP totally pointless. Dodgy eco footprint along with NAPs creating havoc; that is an awfully huge chunk out of the EP that seems to be working very badly.

@jimbbq I would lol along with you, but it's getting so it's not funny anymore. Just annoying.

I wanted it industrial. I redid every lot taking away everything Eco green and made each lot industrial but Port Promise is still neutral. I can't get it to tip to industrial. I gave up and started a new save with the footprint and voting off. I am finished with it for now because the game is not doing what I want it to do and gardening is bugged. The whole idea of going industrial was because gardening is bugged. In my new save I am playing in the city where it's hard to garden. I always have Sims with a huge garden so was trying this until they fix the game. Two days later and I still filled the apartment up with plants using the new planters. I can't win. lol I am cursed with the plant bug again. I realize that my game play can't exclude gardening! I always migrate to it.
