Would you buy a real eco-living GP?

I do a lot of rags to riches and prefer to have my sims living off the land anyhow so this is a no brainer for me.

I'd buy it, If they completely SCRAP the popular, Boho, Country Bumpkin Vibe, and go for Modern ECO Living Such as

1. more efficient upgrades to everything in the house (from Windows and Doors, to even your Appliences, Electronics, and even Plumbing),
2. Aqua Culture (the art of growing plants and breeding fish for food, with minimal effort, becuase the Fish and Plants take care of eachover by the fish waste fertalizing the plants, and the plants waste feeding the fish),
3. Beekeeping (for your sweet tooth)
4. Renewable energy (such as Wind Turbines, Solar Panels, Geothermal, and Batteries, to store the extra energy)

I think when the average person thinks of being Eco Concious and thinking it means NO/MINIMAL TECH, RUSTIC/COUNTRY BUMPKIN, I think THATS what puts SO MANY people off of it, Its what puts me off of it, Yet I wan't to be Eco Freindly as well, WITHOUT being without modern amenaties.

So when EA/MAXIS decides to make an ECO Pack of any kind (SIMGURUS, I MEAN YOU), Research modern ways to be eco friendly, without sacrificing Modern Technology, believe me, you'd be amazed by actual Eco Technologies that exist right now, and I don't mean just in the Renewable Energies department (plus the magic of Effiency).

Yeah agreed, don't really need too much of the boho style either. Although I don't mind more ways of living without technology in TS4 (I still wish they would give us a way not to have to use that damn phone for example). You're right though that there's plenty of eco friendly tech and some of it would definitely be nice to see included, but in the spirit of options, I'd enjoy it if we also got more ways not to use tech and have some sims be more disconnected and self-sufficient :)

Very much so! From that description, it could be a good part of a full-on rural/farming EP - a big world and some cows and sheep and horses.

I wouldn’t want a Eco-Living GP if there are only 4-5 game packs left in TS4’s life span. There are so many better themes they could do.

Why do so many people think that TS 4 is coming to the end soon?

I always like to see what's in the pack first and how well the game seems on camera (forever watching reviews on YT) but I enjoyed the look of the Laundry Stuff when I saw videos overviewing that so I probably would.
