My sim couple has done everything there is to be done for Eco Living. Civil career. Made it to level 10 of crafting career. made candles and fizzy juice up the wahoo. Started in an empty apartment to a container home to a 4 bedroom fully furnished house. They have over $50,000 and living comfortably. I don't know what else to do with them. I'm thinking to start a new save cause I have ideas for other gameplay that don't involve eco living. Has anyone been able to replay Eco? I don't have much desire to keep playing because I don't have a goal. I need a goal. lol
I believe Replayability depends a lot on player style and the player's willingness to modify that style and explore new aspects of a game. Especially in a Sims game, as it is one of the few games that has no linear Storyline. No right way or wrong way. No start, no finish, unless the player decides to do so.
As a player you could choose to focus on a pack's limitations, or focus on how that pack can extend your game experience by finding new ways of play.
EDIT:
To me personally, every pack that I install becomes part of 'The Game'. I don't see them as separate entities once they are there. That way I'm constantly discovering new things that I didn't know existed. I'm not playing 'Eco LifeStyle' or 'Island Living'. I'm playing a story that may use all or none of the features of any pack. There are so many assets of packs that I haven't played yet.
Some very interesting comments and advice in this thread. I hope some offer you a way to make game play engaging again.
