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

It's too early for my final rating but I am having a ton of fun! I will come back to rate it later but think it'll be very positive.

One thing though: this has got to be the worst male CAS ever ? like srsly who wears that?!! The female CAS is really cool though, works super well on some of my more chilly, crafty sims.

I agree. The female CAS is gorgeous but the male CAS is a bit underwhelming, namely the clothes. I mostly play male sims and this came as a little bit of a disappointment to me. But the overall pack is great so far. I'm not gonna let that cloud my judgement too much. :smiley:

Yeah I mean, why are all their clothes so oddly cut short? :joy: I mean, just no. Also really disappointed since there's nothing there for my fav male sim :( Except the shoes. The shoes are great!

And while it's true that a lot of the female CAS works a liiitle bit less well on sims with a little more weight, this one sim I made a while back looks gorgeous in it (but then again, I feel this sim could wear the actual dumpster and she'd still look cool :D)

I love it! My favorite thing is the railyard! The scenery is wonderful. I like the little rats crawling around. I've played almost all day and have barly scratched the surface. There's so much to do!

This is just my first impression. Maybe I will like it more later. My play style is very slow and it's going to take some time until I really know what I think about it, but right now it seems okay.

I like it so far. The main appeal to me is the possibility of making pollution. But it turns out it is very hard to make pollution and the industrial footprint score behaves weirdly. There are way too many Eco items and activities but not enough industrial ones.

It’s my day off and I was bored so I downloaded it, I planned to get it in a sale. I wish I had listened to my gut instinct this is not the pack for me at all. I find it so boring and do not get the hype. The cas is horrid. The eco footprint seems broken in my game I put loads of eco stuff in my builds only for it to go industrial and when I decide to cheat a load of neighbourhoods then use the pause opt out it wipes it clear so it has no effect. Also the community lots have no sims on them. The most fun I have had is renovating a few of the builds that come with the pack. For me personally it’s my 2nd worst pack and only closely behind get to work and only because the bb items are decent in this pack and I do like the idea of nap. Maybe mine has a lot of bugs attached to it I don’t know. How I feel about this pack is how a lot of simmers felt last year with island living.

I agree that the footprint system is buggy. But it will be fixed. The idea is great and once fixed it will be fun.

I love this pack a lot. I am continuing playing my test sim to explore this game and will slowly add back in mods and CC with this game. I have only 2 things I don't like in the pack. One I can't do anything with apartment balconies in Evergreen Harbour like create a green space. My sim lives in an apartment but I can't place verticle planters on the balcony that seems like it should be a part of her apartment. Rather it's not usable and just adds aesthetics. As someone who loves to build, I would love that option. In San Myshuno Balconies are useable space but from what I can tell that isn't the case with Evergreen Harbour's apartments. Also, I would love the option to see trash on the ground even without any community initiative be able to clean it up. Those really are the only issues I have. I had been working on my sims skills and aspirations for the past few days. I removed my mods folder on the second to prepare for the updates. Today I am working on the eco aspirations. It's a different experience to see how sims emotions are around my sim without any custom traits like Aphrodite and Apollo traits. See how they would naturally be without any broadcasters to influence their behaviour. I'm going to wait a few days at least before I

I have noticed a few bugs like I cannot access my community library. It says it's missing but I haven't removed anything with a library file from my game. Lights seem to stay on and they don't turn off automatically.

I love that my sim can vote and since the second I've been working on gaining celebrity status for her too not sure how it would affect with her desire to fix Evergreen Harbour. I don't normally play vanilla and miss the mods I use however I am doing a test game to find the problems in the game and I don't want the mods to be a factor in why something is happening that could be bad.

I normally don't preorder or even buy a pack when it first comes out. I usually wait to see what the reviews everyone has on it and I might think at first its the most thing they have come up with to date. Then I find things in the pack I like. This time around I let my husband know I was going to preorder this expansion pack and I don't have any regrets at all. I'll continue playing this pack in the new world. I think I might play in the world in future games but it won't be a place I will choose first necessarily. Usually, I play in San Myshuno or Forgotten Hollow as a Vampire or spellcaster or some kind of Vampire Hybrid. San Myshuno I admit is my go-to place to chose for my sims to live in.

I genuinely love this pack. I haven't noticed any new illness because of the pollution but I can't really be a judge of that until I play the game a bit more. I can add a lot of stuff into my sims backstory with her living there. Maybe the water became so polluted at one time that it caught on fire. Maybe acid rain is so bad that slightly burns the skin when it rains. I look forward to seeing what mods come out for this pack.

This really is interesting to see how it plays out.

I've been playing non stop and the ideas keep coming about what sim characters to use different parts of it with. When the backdrops of the grit will look best and when to clean up the place. I've been hearing about areas getting better without help but I figure if I want the neighborhood to stay bad I'll have to go into every lot and give them a pretty big industrial footprint. I've tried the bug things, fizzy juice making (and some results), vertical gardens some recycling and composting. The voting process and results are fun to me. I have so many things I want to try but my sim only has so much time in the day.
I've enjoyed folding gameplay into it (or the other way around). I would say it's one of my top three EP's if I were rating them and I haven't even experienced everything yet but I think that I'm so gung-ho to play with everything says a lot for me.
I have so much I want to play out with this pack! I love the feel of the world I'm living in also. Not sure how long it will take to get cleaned up but liking the grit. I started a new character briefly to check out the apartments and really happy they are lower to the ground and don't play out like the apartments in City Living.
There is a lot to love here for me.
