    The blog said that wind turbines and solar panels can make bills cheaper, but I wonder if we can place them in off the grid lots to bring electricity to those lots.

    I was one of those few people who actually predicted that we would get this pack in 2020. I’m very pleased to see, that I was right.

    As a person who is very much into this theme IRL, I have some specific hopes and thoughts about this pack.

    These are my predictions for this pack:
    1. Many great leftover ideas from the Community Stuff Pack 1 will be featured in this pack.
    2. “Evergreen Harbour” will look like a mix between Brooklyn (New York, NY) and modern parts of Northern European cities like Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Berlin.
    3.The overall theme will be a mix between something rustic / industrial and something very modern and urban. B/B-items will also reflect this style.
    3. We will see a mix between nature and city, like industrial flats with wall or roof gardens. The B/B-items will be made of natural and sustainble materiels like wood, bamboo, rattan, wool, cotton etc. Some B/B-items might look like it’s made out of reclaimed materials.
    4. One focus will be on “community space projects” which means that the sims actually have an impact on the city. The sims will make big DIY-projects like community gardens, city architecture, art installations etc. together with other sims.
    5. Another focus will be on “reducing eco foodprint” which means using sustainable energy sources, zero wasting etc.
    6. The CAS-items will be very fashionable and edgy. We will see “remanufactured” or “thrifted” styles of clothing. Think urban hippies, hipsters and bohemians.
    7. We will probably see something added to the Off The Grid lot trait.

    The key words will be: CREATIVE, URBAN, FUN and GREEN!!!!

    Let’s see tomorrow.

    Peace out! Love and harmony to you all!!!


    I think I was very close!!! I’m soooo happy for this pack!!!

    Will be one of my favorites!!! ❤️✌️?

    I like the crafts and the possibility of playing the conservation way or just the dirty industrial town. They ticked two boxes there and i like both.

    That was no chicken coop lol. You could see insect/worms on the sides, probably some insect house again.


    I think it's a composter? The circles with the holes on the side also look like mason bee tubes


    Looks to me like they're grubs that grew up into these crickets: https://twitter.com/luthsthings/status/1258087557117739008

    Oh no, are those old whale oil tankers? This new world has a dark past.

    Yeah northwest had those. My ancestors used to hunt sharks which makes me sad because I love sharks.
