Eco Lifestyle: Are you buying?

I own all the DLCs that you can still get in the market including TS3 pre-order Bonus, Sweet Treat and all the store content, and I usually buy them full price, yet I will not buy this one since I don’t find it comfortable to spend $40 so that I can use fossil-fuel generated electricity to power my computer where my pixelated people can reduce carbon footprint in a virtual world (shrug). No, I’ll wait until I got a free code or something.

I pre-ordered it about 5 minutes after the trailer was dropped ;)

I found it on sale tonight for £21.99, so there was no stopping me pre-ordering :D

Ditto. I was going to wait to bundle it, but was really excited and found a sale on preorder so went with it haha!

Leaning towards no right now. The concept is just too mundane for me and there's not much that I like except for the grungy world and dumpster diving. If the candles actually burn down, that's kind of neat, but not EP price neat. If it were a game pack it might have made more sense to me. I've been out of work since the lockdown so I need to save money anyway.

I'm still going to check out more information on the pack because I have a feeling there's more to it than it seems, but I'm also skeptical about how the real gameplay is going to turn out because Sims play a whole lot different in a real game than in a trailer. I'll be looking out for things like repetitive reactions to trash, how much the environment controls the gameplay, what's actually new to the game and how flexible the pack is.

If I do decide to get it, it will probably be way down the line when it's at least half off. But it might likely be one of those packs that I just don't care to own, like Parenthood.

Already pre-ordered, although I'm not interested in the theme. I just like having more official stuff to use in CAS.

I never pay full price for expansions as they're always overpriced, and that applies to every expansion not just this one. I always just wait for like a month until they're available elsewhere for cheaper, with this pack I'll wait and see what else they're bringing. Obviously the gameplay is meh but they could to a Get Together and save an otherwise lame and unnecessary pack with a great world. From the trailer I'm most excited for the Northern Lights they showed tbh and the world, the gameplay I can take or leave

Instant Gaming has it on pre-order for 28€.

Thanks for this tip! This looks like what I'm going to do now. :)

I won't buy it full price but I've seen enough things I like to buy it when it goes on sale.

I was very much on the fence when the theme was announced but after seeing the trailer I think this pack is really going to fit in nicely with my play style, my favorite sims to play are ones that are into either the outdoors or science and I have a family who would be perfect to explore this pack! Looking forward to seeing more details though before I decide whether I buy it full price or on sale.
