Hey Simmers,I’m sure many of y’all are diving deep into eco lifestyle. I know I am having a blast and coming up for air was hard. I thought I could create a thread where we could ask and answer each other’s questions about the new pack. I know I’ve had a lot since this pack has a lot going on and it’s not always super clear about how to do things.My current questions are:1. Does use of electronics and powered items cause a more industrial footprint?(You can upgrade them to be more green so I’ve been a little confused about this)2. What are the best ways to be more green or more industrial? 3. Do you see your neighbors actively participating in N.A.Ps? (Haven’t gotten this far yet)Feel free to post your questions and answer other players. I hope y’all are having a good time with the new pack and happy simming.

Great idea for a thread!Does anyone know where sims can collect water in Evergreen Harbour? I struggled to find water points last night.

Question- is anyone's Eco footprint decaying in about a day? I successfully turned the industrial section into Green Healthy area but it only last about a day and then I'm back to natural (another day then I'm back to industrial). Is it supposed to change so quickly?

I hope they can fix this or at least there will be a mod to steady it a bit.This may be a really dumb question - How do you vote for community lot types? I have went to the board and they are greyed out :( Am I missing something obvious?

How do you get eco parts to upgrade utilities?

You'll need Influence for that. Once you have that you can go to the ''default'' community space and vote there or just click on the mailbox and vote. You'll need 10 influence points (which counts as 1 vote). Influence points are accumulated by interacting with the active neighborhood plan, doing friendly interactions, etc.

A couple ways. Use the recycler or if you have the new lot trait for recycling you can search recyclables and compost and click on those in your inventory and turn them into bits and pieces.
