Obviously the goal of the Eco Lifestyle expansion is to turn Evergreen Harbor into a beautiful green paradise, but I've been reading many comments from simmers who want to keep it dirty and inhospitable, simply because we don't have any other world like that, or for other reasons. What will your Evergreen Harbor be like?

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.

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.

Evergreen Harbor: Clean or dirty?

Of course I've not completely decided yet, but my current plan is to play through the cleaning up scenario in my neglected other save and then in my main rotational save I would hopefully keep the world dirty. But I'll have to see how it works out. If there's an option to clean up and then make it dirty again, I'm also interested in that and I would scale it all out through generations.

Would be fun to have it as a dirty apocalypse world, especially if we get Werewolves in the future :D

It'd also go well with the zombie mod >:3

I won't be able to decide until I see the world itself and, more importantly, if I can have other "dirty" worlds (I'd pick Oasis Springs as my apocalyptic world).

I have many save files and I will have both clean and dirty versions of the world, depending on the Sims I play with and their stories.

I'm gonna play around with it a bit before I really decide. I really want to see the world first. Like, say if it's actually a pretty nice looking world, I might not be able to keep myself from making sure it's clean. Or maybe I'll go "halfway". It all depends.

Buuut. I am one who is considering leaving it dirty because we don't have any worlds that are run-down and groddy. So we'll see.

My town will go both ways. I'm not going to limit it to one only state. It will depend on the save.

Eta if it can go back and forth i will have it clean and dirty in the same legacy, through generations.

Both! Clean and green in my main save, but definitely doing at least one dystopian-esque save with it dirty.

It's just a shame that while visually dirty, there will be no gameplay elements that allude to the 'dystopian' theme. no crime, no burglars, no ill effects from the pollution (unless that cough from the trailer can kill a sim)

Both. I’m in the process of creating a premade free base save, well in this case 2. One will have a dirty version and the other, a clean version of Evergreen Harbor. I’ll start all future saves from these base saves and use them based on the story I want to play. The dirty save will also have a “dirty” Sulani and an infected Strangerville.

But we don't know that yet - all we've seen is one short release trailer.
