If this is an EP, I would say that having eco living gameplay is probably a minor part of the EP. I reckon that it could probably the farming pack, in which it focus on nature, energy saving, etc.

Strange that they didn't include animals in the pack description, though..

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).

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

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.

I'm not trying to come off as negative but I have a very strong feeling that this pack will have NO new animals in it.

And it is a Harbor town. Don’t we have Brindelton bay already ? Sigh. I want a mountainous town.

I've asked for that. hehe I'm SUPER HAPPY.

@Icewolf what makes you think it doesn't have farms? You all know that eco life and farming are related to eachother, right?!

@jimbbq the only thing I've seen so far was a gif with a huge mountain in the back. Where did you saw its a harbor town?

@aiex did you know we already have horse interaction codes inside the game?! We are getting at least a horse.

You come off as extremely negative :) I feel tempted to say that if you keep having high expectations, you'll keep getting disappointed. The Sims 4 packs were never gift fests on par with those for Sims 3.

I'm confused. What did I miss?

Maybe. And maybe it'll solve the mystery of the bunches of mentions of horses that people found last year in the game code. It would make sense.
(I'm not blindly optimistic, btw. I'm just riffing about what might be in the pack other than windmills. we'll know in just under a day. mostly, I'm just curious.)

I have heard a lot of people ask for this.

I think I'm equally interested in eco and country. I think either would be great and a pack I will buy, in a bundle,but neither were at the top of my wishlist. (I'd prefer a generations theme ) . But yeah I don't have a preference between eco/country at this point.

Apparently EA accidentally leaked this description 24 hrs before it was supposed to come out.
