Evergreen Harbor: Clean or dirty?

I'd like to clean it up, but only so it's not full of trash and smog anymore. The green stuff is neat, but adding it is not my biggest priority. I just want to get rid of the pollution.

People wanting to keep it dirty reminds me of the people who wanted the dystopian future in TS3: ITF. Probably a really fun gameplay scenario, but not really my thing. Still glad it's an option, though.

Clean because I'm looking forward to the game play aspect of cleaning it up... but I'll probably let it get dirty again after or start new saves so I can do it again and again haha!

Ahh yes! I canfinaly create an apocalypstic town. I can imagine where I will make it clean to see the effects, but after that, supernatural sims are going to invade the town and after that, destroy the whole city that turns into a rundown state with supernatural sims attacking normal sims, and normal sims being infected by the Fruit from StrangerVIlle.

Clean, I don't like smog and pollution. But for story telling purposes it is good to have the option.

I wonder how many stages there are. Strangerville has 4 if I recall correctly and island living has 3. So there might be some phase in between.

Both!

Somewhere in the middle, if possible. I'm hoping it's more like a sliding scale, rather than two binary options. I'd like a bit less smog and trash, but I want to keep the industrial feel and I don't want too much green everywhere.

I do like the look of the clean town more but I am not sure how much effort it will require from my sim to keep it clean. If I will have a sim living there permanently, it will probably eventually become a clean city, but if I will only visit occasionally, then it will remain quite polluted.

I'm conflicted. On the one hand, like I said in the opening post, the dirty, foggy look is something unique to this world and worth keeping for that reason alone, in my opinion. On the other hand, the aurora borealis that can only be seen in clear skies is also unique to this world, and not making an effort to go green presumably means missing out on a huge chunk of gameplay. Since I only play one save, and I do want to experience the new gameplay, I'm leaning more towards the clean look, but I'm not sure yet.

I want it dirty full of crime and poverty! That should give my sims some challenge.
