Now that we know it won't be as bad as we all feared and many of us, myself included, have decided to get the pack: what are you planning to do with Eco Lifestyle? I think one of the first things I'll do is turn the San Myshuno park into a community lot. I can't wait to finally have something better to turn it into than what it is now since I never really go there and with the food stalls up front, I think it'll be fun! - As I was reminded of in this thread, that's not possible :joy: Soo I'll do other things - listed somewhere below :D What about you guys?

I no longer hate it as much as I used to, but I still won't buy it for full price. There are some features I can't stand and may require mods to get rid of and I find the new world rather unimpressive. So maybe I'll buy it some time at future, on sale or as a part of a bundle. Or maybe not, depending on whether or not I'll like the other upcoming packs more.What I would do with it? Use the new machines and some CAS items, feed Knox to a cowplant. Turn San Myshuno into a trash heap.

Speaking of food stalls, I wonder if they will now function properly when paced on the new community lot. I intend to make a sort of market with all of them.

I would think so, at least on the marketplace version of the lot. Usually, when they code it in from the beginning it works like a charm - kind of makes me wish they'd let us use the cafeteria item in normal libraries, not just student lots :D But yeah I think we'll be able to do that, since there's also a functioning food stall in the trailer on one of these lots.I think community lots will be super fun to play around with though!

Ok, so, *now* what are your plans for Eco Lifestyle?

Honestly? I can't think of a way to make it fun.
I can appreciate that objectively, these are good features , but I can't see how to make recycling and kombucha (gag) fun for me. I don't play off the grid, and any character that crafts things usually has a lab for that kinda stuff, so "maker spaces" aren't really something I'm likely to use.

The market one? MAYBE I could use that? A farmer's market would be fun. I built a farm that grows trash fruit for shits and giggles, maybe he could make fizzy juice (god I wish we had nectar instead) and could sell fresh, farm-to-table garbage water? That'd be kinda fun.

I already know I'm not gonna actively use the eco footprint system (trash town is more appealing, since we don't have anything like that, but we've got tons of pristine, gentrified towns) so I honestly don't know.

It's a neat concept, but I don't think it's something that'll really fit in my gameplay. I'm more into generational play and occults.

Huh gotta say, I love the idea of having my gardeners be into making fizzy drinks - much prefer that to them making flowers :joy:

I love the new craftable furniture. I will make a sim who crafts furniture and sells it in his own shop.

I'm going to start by playing as a hobo who will walk around and search for food, make furniture out of trash, increase his charisma skill so he can go around and ask people for a loan and walk around and sleep on park benches and explore the pack that way.

I have some plans I thought lying in my bed last night, lol. First of all I want to keep at least part of Evergreen harbour polluted because that's the world most suited for it. I'd like it to be really bad there. Other areas that I'm thinking should have pollution: Spice Market in SM, Cavalier Cove in BB, Starlight Boulevard in DSV, 5 lots in a row in NC, maybe Mirage Park in DSV and/or the poorest neighbourhood in WC. Areas that I want to go greener: WB island, top neighbourhood in NC, Forgotten Hollow, Mua Pel'am in Sulani... Might change my mind on these still, depends what the changes require :D I also can't wait to get my hand on those N.A.P.s, but not sure yet what I'm going to do with them. There has to be a neighbourhood with free love!

Yeah, the furniture is really good. It's like what the woodworking furniture should've been.

Instead the woodworkers end up making Homer Simpson's spice rack

I'm wanting to have a few neighborhoods to be dirty and some be green.. i have been playing a sim name Sarah Wingate who been newly divorced and is about to have her and her ex-husband's baby..she's into making stuff and growing plants,
but her ex-husband is more into the opposite of her.. he is a doctor and busy with work he don't care about going green.. and this is how they ended the marriage,

I wish we could make this new furniture on the woodworking table too. This 3D printer thing is so modern and doesn't suit some of my sims. Maybe there will be a mod for it :)

Spice Market in San Myshuno sounds like a good neighbourhood to have a red district reputation, free love or not. :joy:

Yes, the machine is modern, but so is the furniture! :smiley: The woodworking table is good for ancient sims.

I will make Evergreen Harbor all green, but when this eco friendly generation dies, newcomers will come in and let the environment deteriorate once again!
