Eco Living.. seriously?!

But... I really wanted the Country Living expansion pack to be real... :'(

I know a lot of people wanted eco living back when we all voted for our first stuff pack. But as an expansion pack??? It doesn't really feel like there's gonna be a whole lot of fun gameplay around eco living. Oh well, let's see the trailer tomorrow. But I will remain really doubtful.

I don’t mind it if it is well designed. Island living eco beach career is a joke. Hope this is not like that.

Are you telling me a lot of people voted for eco living? WHEN?! I do not recall.. The amount of people that wanted a farming pack was insane! The pack description looks extremely underwhelming as well.

If that is what most people wanted and voted for, then you need to be upset with people, not EA. They are just making business.

"Ready for your sims to impact their world? Move into a community of fellow collaborative makers in The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack! Play to change and make a difference in the new world Evergreen Harbor..." Seems like most of the new content will be catered to this new world.. BLEGH!

Considering the number of people who complained and still do that Laundry Day wasn't the Eco Living theme they originally voted for, yeah, plenty of people asked for this.

Since this has been in the works for a long time, I'm guessing it was created in response to that, rather than what people are asking for *now* (when it comes to themes, not core game improvements or changes).

When I saw country living I thought ok I don’t like it but I can live with it. Now with eco lifestyle I went ; please give us country living !!!!

I personally feel as though the people that voted for Eco Living had some aspects of farming in mind.

Yup. I don't remember all the things you could vote for other than eco living and laundry though. A lot of people wanted eco living and were mad when laundry won. I voted for laundry, lol. And yeah, I also wanted a farming pack. That is something we've never got in the Sims franchise. And yes I agree. The description made me think of Island Living. Make changes and see changes to the world. Which will probably be as underwhelming as it was in Island Living...

Which might still be in some way implemented in the pack. Maybe bigger scale produce, animals, markets, canning, jam making etc. All of that fits the theme. We'll know tomorrow, I guess.

There were also people looking for things like solar panels, improvements to the Off The Grid lot trait, more items that work on lots with that trait etc. Maybe they weren't as vocal as those looking for big scale farming (with tractors and other machinery) but they're around.
