I bought Eco Living and feel that it adds a lot of options to my game. Especially the items that help lower the costs of my sims' bills! LOL I use the windmills and solar panels, water collectors often, especially on my farms with Cottage Living. The game has the toggles to shut off the NAPs which seems to be the biggest complaint with the game. I don't use the NAPS unless playing a game in Evergreen Harbour and decide to challenge myself with all the gameplay that comes with the game. I have never regretted buying this pack.
So you haven't experienced any NAPSs at all?
I removed it mainly for the NAPS. But I did like community spaces and some of the Eco features.
And there are also some clothing and hairstyles that I like.
And now that we have Home Decorator, I really would like the furniture making machine.
My decorator sim will also own a home furnishing business. It would be cool if she could manufacture her own furniture pieces.
I could also see some of my wellness sims setting up in a community space for Yoga and Meditation classes.
But I don't want to see sims with bags on their heads, home invasions and home theft from friends, free love, or inventories filled with clay and future cubes. If I have to go around to every neighborhood fixing unwanted NAPs, I would rather not have the pack at all. But if I can avoid all that and not have to worry about it, I would put the pack back.
You can turn off NAPs from the options menu. Which means you can fulfill your dreams without NAP disturbances ?
This is true. However, if you have multiple existing saves, be sure to turn NPC voting off for each save before actually playing in that save. I've had a few NAPs sneak in a couple of my older saves because I forgot to check if I had them turned off. D'oh! It's pretty easy to deal with after that, though, at least for people who play on PCs. If you do forget, you can do the instant repeals available via mailbox debug cheats, but you do have to be controlling a sim that lives in that neighborhood. After you clear up that first sneaky round of repeals (you can also leave some of the less annoying ones enacted if you want), NPCs will be unable to autonomously vote any others in.
