Would you buy a real eco-living GP?

The problem that underlines this will be, "If it's going to be an ECO LIVING pack, then it better stay central to that theme!" The further we go into farming and whatnot the further from eco living it will eventually become and it might as well just turn into a farming pack. Also, just adding a couple things considered eco living does not constitute eco living as central to the original concept of it.

It depends for me. On one hand, if it had enough activities for Sims to do (like beekeeping, making preserves, solar panels that help with bills, etc.) then I say sure, because it makes for more things to do in the game. But if it was only say, two new things for Sims to interact with and the rest is all build mode/clothes, then no, not really. I don't particularly care to play with Sims living off the grid, though it could be fun for Legacy challenges/rags-to-riches gameplay.

My vote goes with not sure Eco Living is the last thing I think the game needs but if chickens and other animals were added I would have to get it because farming I do want. I'd rather get farming in its own pack though so I could get the features I actually want with more detail and I think things like beekeeping and making preserves fits better with a farm pack.

I mean really what is Eco Living going to add solar panels a recycling bin instead of a trash can (yay) our perfectly clean perfect worlds are saved!

I would love to see a farm with farm animals, a farmer aspiration, home phone, newspaper, hay, ready made barn, a few mor crops like hay, corn and oats.

It would depend on how well thought out the features are and, hopefully, there wouldn't be just one new object with a new animation.

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).

Voted too hastily! Off the grid, yes please! Some modern solar panel to make my virtual energy clean? Nah, I don't see the point.

Oh definitely! Still really curious what they could do with this theme now that laundry's out of the way.

It's what I wanted out of the SP, so I would probably buy an GP that expanded on the original theme.

I thought this last one was supposed to be an eco pack. With my luck, a different eco pack would start that way, and then the guru organizing it would say, "Okay, if you want CARS in this pack, you need to speak up!" And then one of the choices would be a Prius and people would say, "See, it IS an eco pack!"

Fortunately, for me, Laundry Pack means I save $10.

Actually, laundry was one of the possible options for this pack from the start and the only reason it won the theme vote. In the original theme vote, this was the description of "Eco Living" (which could mean a lot of things to different people): "Adopt new home technologies to help your Sim with domestic responsibilities and live an eco-friendly life. Potential areas of focus include laundry, home technology and solar energy." So, it wasn't added later. Also, the 4 gameplay options were laundry, off the grid, food preserves, and carbon conscious. Laundry won the vote. It was a community stuff pack and more people in the community wanted laundry than any of the 3 other options (which are all gameplay features mentioned by the OP above). It's comical that people keep trying to blame the devs.....this was a community pack and the community picked laundry, not the devs.
