Disable Aurora Effect (Eco Lifestyle)
Can we PLEASE have this annoying Clean-Air-Aurora-Like-Light-Effect which apperantly came with Eco-Lifestyle SWITCHABLE in the settings? According to the FAN-Speed (PS4) this effect consumes loads of...

@Zalo-Doran You could try adding fireplaces to builds to bring it back to neutral but I agree there should be a way to disable it I've got it in my game but I have the footprint turned off it's a new save I can't get rid of it.
As I thought as well. Unfortunately, fireplaces seem not to work (or at least didn't have enough weight against all the "green" solar powered appliances). I tried a special room with about 30 of them, and it didn't go away.
@Zalo-Doran I'll ask around see if anyone else has any other ideas how to get rid of it.
@Zalo-Doran Remove all green appliances to bring it back to neutral or the only other way is to disable eco footprint in the opticians menu.
Opticians menu? I only have the normal settings menu, and as I've already mentioned, disabling eco-footprint there removes the effect only from manage worlds. I will give the appliances a try, but I think this will not help either. From my past experiences, they appear as "green" as soon as they are powered by green energy (for instance, refrigerator becomes "industrial" as long as it's running on bio fuel. When fuel is empty, it goes back on grid (or solar energy if off grid) and becomes "green" again. It might only work if I remove all solar, wind energy, water, green stuff and put the property "on grid" - leaving the question why I've bought eco-lifestyle.
So I gave it another try. Disabling eco footprint (as seen in the attached video) does remove the aurora effect definitely only from the manage worlds page. I've tried also saving, restarting, reloading and waiting for a complete sim day, nothing changes. Finally I've replaced appliances with unmodified ones as well as removed all eco-lifestyles solar/water/wind generators. And the Aurora Effect still persists.
The fact that disabling eco-footprint completely didn't remove the aurora effect from the property/neighbourhood is probably a bug. However, I didn't want do disable it completely. It's just about that visual effect, in which the PS4 is obviously unable to render with an appropriate frame rate.
