I'm actually rewatching some of it! There was a lot to take in. At the beginning I really liked that the whole neighborhood has to make changes to change the industrial/eco footprint. If one family does all the green stuff but no one else does it, the footprint doesn't change. I thought that was cool.
I don't super duper like the look of the world, it seemed there were loads of empty spaces and wide open areas. But I really appreciated the story woven into the world that SimGuruGeorge did a really good job of talking it through. Understanding that it was a town that produces marble from the quarry and would ship it out in the harbour, and after that ceased the world didn't know how to progress. Thought that element added more depth to it.
I think this is a pack that can be played in many different ways. From the hippie Knox to the scrounging Harries family to the tech minded Bess...I think you can take it in lots of different directions.
Also, being able to collect water from snow or rivers was amazing.
I thought that the CAS items were so much better than in the trailer. They looked cool and comfy but the ones in the trailer looked weird.all puffy jackets and high vis stripes. But there were so many cozy items, and some great hair.
I like that bills and off grid living is properly done so that I can really keep an eye on how my Sims actions are affecting things. Rags to riches all the way. I just wish the knitting pack was out the same time, I want them both together!!
