I have been dealing with this bug for over a year. Basically, regardless if Eco Footprint Gameplay and NPC Voting gameplay is turned on or off, I will still get notifications of the Eco Footprint changing the environment, from Green, Neutral, or Industrial. Sometimes the environment won't change past Neutral, other times it will go to Industrial and the world is covered in smog.
I have tried everything: uninstalling & reinstalling the EA App, updating the EA App, clearing the cache, repairing the EA App, and toggling the Eco Footprint & NPC Voting on & off. NONE of this works. NONE. OF. IT. Sometimes the bug goes away when the game updates or I purchase a new DLC, other times the bug COMES BACK after an update or purchasing a pack.
I can't disable the pack from the EA App. I do not get the "View Properties" option from the "Manage" button, just "Manage Add Ons". I'm also not tech savvy enough to figure out how to get the "View Properties" option to appear. And since I can't figure it out, I have to repeatedly enter in the Eco Footprint Gameplay cheat code. It's VERY ANNOYING to have to keep entering in the cheat code for "Green" or "Neutral" every time the Eco Footprint changes to Industrial. I shouldn't have to use solar panels, wind turbines, or "Off the Grid" items to reduce power consumption when the Eco Footprint Gameplay & NPC Voting options are TURNED. OFF.
I do use mods and custom content. However, this bug appears regardless if I have mods installed or not. Believe me, I've tried anything within my knowledge to see if the bug disappears and it won't. I am beyond frustrated. This bug makes this game near unplayable for me.
How on earth can I make this bug GO AWAY?!
