She hasn’t gone full hippie yet, but she’s still figuring out the new juice fizzing machine so she can make her own kombucha, of course. She’s a maker, so she loves to create furniture seemingly out of thin air with the fabricator, and she’s probably made thousands of candles at this point.

My sim is a recycle disciple, so she spends her free time rummaging for recycled bits and bobs that she later crafts into items. Luckily, she already has a penchant for crafting them.Įco Lifestyle, like other expansions, brings with it a few new careers, aspirations, and traits for your sims.

Since I couldn’t just use wind turbines in my apartment, my sim had to upgrade all her appliances to be more energy-efficient, and she started to replace her light bulbs with candles. I wasn’t expecting to put in so much effort to make my neighborhood green, but at the end of the day, I had a lot of fun finding ways to do it. I’m honestly impressed that it takes both individual and collective action to make a noticeable change in the world’s eco-footprint. I also made sure to vote on NAPs that mandated water and power conservation. From there, I was able to vote on the policies I actually wanted, like a green initiative for my community. As time went on, my sim got acquainted with more people in the neighborhood and gained a lot more Influence.

While it’s great for the community to stay active, I repealed that one real quick. I would talk to a sim and out of nowhere, they would drop and give me twenty. So, my community passed a policy that encouraged practicing fitness at all times. When my sim first moved in, she didn’t have much Influence - the points needed to vote on NAPs. There are also some exciting new build items, including grassy roofs, vertical planters, and green power sources like solar panels and wind turbines. Aside from some awful clothing options, there are actually plenty of really fashionable new hairstyles, and finally some new facial piercings, so it’s not all a loss. One of the worst offenders is the denim skirt and jeans combo. I get the vibe they’re going for with scrap fabrics sewn together haphazardly in an effort to look more recycled, but there’s some really horrible stuff.

When I tell you that some of the new clothes are ugly, I mean they are butt-ugly. Luckily, The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle has something to offer for just about everyone. I’ll spend hours making the perfect sim with amazing outfits, and never actually play the game. Other people spend their time building elaborate, beautiful, and sometimes realistic homes. Some might even say that’s how the game is supposed to be played. Some people craft unique stories with their virtual creations, giving them career goals and life aspirations to work toward. The Sims 4 tackles environmentalism and local politics in its newest expansion pack, but all I can focus on are the ugly clothes.
