Eco Lifestyle: Are you buying?

I'm by no means an expert on this matter, but some new and innovative things that I had liked to see were co-housing and a market place where people sell their crops and innovative products like electric bikes etc.

.

Those things are potentially in it. There's an online market place and what looks like a community selling space as well as electric bikes or scooters and there are new harvestables. I think waiting to see what comes out is a good idea as a small trailer isn't enough info.

Lots of people have changed their minds. This poll is no longer viable.

True. We'll have to have another after the livestream.

Oh yeah I’ll definitely buy it whenever I can catch it dirt cheap (>50% discount).

Nope.
Don't care for the theme (we've already had an environmentalist EP, this time last year)
Don't care for the gameplay (building community gardens seems pointless when every neighborhood in every world ALREADY HAS a community garden)
Don't care for the objects (giant worms with reused animations and... a wall of meat. So exciting!)
Don't care for the CAS (didn't they already do Hobo-Chic in Realm of Magic?)

I bought Tiny Living only because I was starved of content and thought it might be fun, but I have zero interest in building a tiny home. I'm not making the same mistake twice.

I'm not holding my breath on it.

I will be keeping an open mind, but based on the trailer and blogpost I would still say "no". They didn't show much, yet usually trailers show off the biggest assets of a pack.

If the livestream happens to include a lot more content than what was seen in the trailer and has some new features like a new lot type for markets or the ability to participate in co-housing (very unlikely based on the sizes of the homes). Also the affect of pollution on other worlds will be an important factor as well. How far are they going with it? Is it just polluted air or did they go as far as making a polluted version of each world?

Yes they've made the community lot available for each world. The pollution will happen in all worlds expect destination worlds and strangerville. You can toggle the pollution off. The cause of pollution is living a 'non eco-lifestyle'.
This is from the SimGuru's Twitter, which I believe there's a thread for it here if you were interested. But yeah, I'm waiting for more info too from the gameplay!

Yes but I'll definitely wait for the next SP and GP so I can bundle

I am a maybe leaning towards no at the moment. I really need to know more about how this is going to work with other worlds. I read somewhere there will a toggle but I need to know how that is going to work. I don't like the idea that every world is going to be polluted unless my sim follows a set story line like in Strangerville. So, I need to see more. Right now, I am playing other games so I might pass on this pack until a sale comes out depending on what I see in reviews and game play.

I voted Maybe, but I really mean Yes. I plan to make a purchase, it just may not be straightaway because right now, that's a lot of cash for me. It wouldn't matter what the pack was, either. Though even for packs I'm not immediately drawn to, I acquire them sooner or later because there's always enough stuff to make it worthwhile, which is why my answer should've been Yes! I may just have to wait for a sale or consider unsubbing from Final Fantasy XIV for a month to buy this.

Yes, I'll buy it just to have another neighborhood to build in and then I will toggle off the pollution.

I want a SPORTS/GAMES EP -- So we have a LOT more activities to do as a Family & Groups!

POOLTABLE FTW!

Based on what I've SEEN from the trailer, absolutely not. With every other expansion pack's trailer, I could find at least one thing to like in it. With Eco Living, there is not one single thing that I like, or in any way interests me. I'll take a look at somebody's review, like LGR, to see if there really is nothing I like, but I'm 98% sure that It's a definite no. If it happens to go on sale for less than $20, I will consider it. But, it's not, so I won't.

It's sad honestly. I'm a completionist, and I got every single pack usually no matter what (ex: MFPS, Vampires, Cat's and Dogs), but this pack snapped me out of that mindset, and made me realize that I will not waste my money on, pretty much half made garbage.
