Eco Lifestyle Features and Thoughts

What are your thoughts on this pack? I’m going to list a few features i saw in the trailer and my opinion on them. Please add any you noticed.

LADDERS - Super excited for this, not really sure why it’s took so long as there are basically ladders in Island Living (coincidental?).

VOTING - Not really fitting the theme but cool. Could've been in a free update.

SOLAR PANNELS AND WIND TURBINES - If it means no bills, I’m all for it.

CANDLE MAKING - Hope it’s not as bad as the pumpkin carving because I’m getting major vibes but I guess it goes with the Knitting Pack really well.

SOME NEW ANIMAL? - Still don’t know what it was but whatever he took out of that box?

CLEANING THE TOWN UP - I hope this works like seasons and effects all towns, not just that one. Island living there is only one area it effects. Also, while we’re on the topic of Island Living. Does this not feel a LOT like it?

FLIES AND ILLNESS - Maybe if the town is dirty your sims have more chance of getting ill. This may also mean new illnesses.

RECYCLING - The bins at the start could just be a new outside bin but for realistic gameplay, i hope they make more use of bins. A bin man career? IRL you don’t just put stuff in a bin and it’s gone, also the sim who is creating something with old materials, that could also indicate something new with bins. Maybe your sims can rummage and get materials?

CAR BOOT SALES? - Maybe this is an expansion of the flea market? Fits in well with the Kitting Pack’s new Plopsy feature.

3D PRINTING? - The lady who make that weird mechanical thing looked like she was using a 3D printer type of thing.

Obviously not all of these are confirmed, they are just my guesses.

I’m a little disappointed because no one asked for this but i think if it’s done well it could be good? I just don’t think it’s EXPANSION worthy. If it was a Game Pack or Stuff Pack i’d be SUPER excited but i’m a little disappointed. What’s Your Opinion?

  • We need a pollution meter for each world. I don’t want all the worlds to be impacted the same way.

    From reading the blog, I do believe that will happen:
    "Check your impact in almost any neighborhood or world of your choosing—excluding Strangerville and Destination Worlds—or pause the eco-footprint effects from the game options menu."
    Including separate effects for neighborhoods instead of just whole worlds.
  • Does this mean that worlds we visit rarely will be more impacted by pollution? Or will we need to visit them often to keep up pollution levels to acceptable standards?

    We still don't know yet. But i would say the other way around. I think the impact, either positive or negative, will evolve if we trigger it, by playing in those neighbourhoods/worlds...

    Btw, im also wondering if that blog quote means that the impact will be on a neighbourhood basis. That'ld be awesome but i don't want to have those kind of expectations for tomorrow. What has been shown is enough for me to gladly buy the pack.
  • Imagine pollution and crazy, zombie Sims in Stragerville, now that's a town I'm gonna visit!

    Strangerville is not affected by pollution.
