What Do You Rate Eco Lifestyle After You've Played???

I think you have to upgrade the vertical
Planter in order to get it.

I just annoyed that I can't find that sustainable meat rack. Has anyone else found it? I sorted by specific pack looking for it.

I am REALLY enjoying it so far. I feel it refreshed the game. I am especially enjoying the depth it's given to "off the grid" gameplay. I love the concept of being able to recycle stuff for bits and pieces that can be used to power generators. I love all the new "eco footprint" and "power consumption" ratings added to build/buy that will effect the gameplay in some way. I really hope that all my custom content can easily be updated to contain their own ratings so I can have the challenge of mixing and matching to get certain eco footprints in my various lots. I am falling in love with container homes and think I want every residential lot in my Evergreen Harbor to be shipping homes! They are just so cool!

I just got the game about 15 minutes ago. The new world is fantastic! I love the new BB and CAS items, as well as the new premades! I’m loving the new houses too — I hope I can keep some and still improve the local ecology. And I loled at “Keep Evergreen Kooky!” For those who don’t know, “Keep Portland Weird” is a popular slogan for a Northwest US progressive town that promotes an ecological lifestyle. ?

I also loled at the loading screen that just says, “OK.” ?

Edit: After playing for a much longer period, I also love that you have to be a valued member of the community in order to vote. I wish that you could pick up pieces of trash manually.

The clothing choices suck, only two "meh" new male hairstyles, the solar panel and dew collectors barely collect enough to do anything unless you have scads of cash to deck out a lot with them (and pay the tax). It absolutely has added zero interest to my game.

I like having the option of keeping the worlds clean or causing them to become polluted if Captain Planet fails to catch the villain. But bummed that trash will only show up in Port Promise when pollution occurs. It's fun dumpster diving in search of things. And seeing the effects of voting on certain action plans.

Also..fizzy juices. Which in no way puts me in the mind to start a file based on Discovery Channels Moonshiners, but with fizzy juice.

I’m actually here looking for tips and ideas to keep myself interested. I wasn’t interested in this pack, but I decided to get it anyway since gameplay has been dragging for me lately. I was mainly interested in candle making and having a sim live off of crafting candles.

It turns out it takes an extremely long time to craft one candle. It takes hours to craft one hand-carved candle. I guess I’m disappointed because my storyline fell through, and I can’t seem to find anything else interesting.

The neighborhood action plans are okay, but it just involves walking around and talking to townies so you can vote. Idk, maybe I’ll try the new career. In the meantime, I’ll keep checking back here to see how others are playing. :)

There will probably be mods soon to speed up that process. Honestly you cant please everyone. They make it take a short time and people will say its too easy, unrealistic and get tired of it quickly. Make it take long time and people will say its too hard, not sustainable for earning money etc... Situations like these are why we have mods! :)

I kinda wish we also had a neutral version of that hair without the braids parts. Or with braids that are the same color as the hair.

I just started, but the CAS is the best. I'm in love with the detail and variety of the hair. Clothing is so Eco Lifestyle. I can't say enough about how much I'm enjoying this pack; plus, I love this hair. Great job EA and all those who collaborated to bring this pack to life. Thank you so much. <3

It's okay and there is some good content that I will be able to use for my Sim story, but there are packs that are more useful to me. I am still happy with my purchase, and I am happy to support TS4.

@Hearts4u your sim is absolutely gorgeous :heart:

I've still not voted as I am still exploring. I had a quick play last night and I love what I see so far. The world is great and unlike anything I have seen in the sims before. Living off the grid is also very difficult but fun :smiley:
