The gameplay in Eco Lifestyle is so incredibly versatile it can basically fit into any form of gameplay you enjoy. Eco Lifestyle to me is an expansion I didn't know I needed, it expands the game in big and small ways. Build/Buy now has consequences depending on how you build, waste and utility management adds to the mundane chores like laundry and washing dishes, there's news ways to live off the grid, new ways to play rags to riches challenges, there's community lots that change overtime, as controversial NAP's and the eco footprint are I absolutely love them as they add extra personality and depth to the worlds my sims live in.
Ughhhh I simply love Eco Lifestyle so much.
