    Who wants to see wind turbines?

    Wind turbines always make a city/village feel lived in. They are seen around the modern world and I think it would just add that extra bit of depth into The Sims 4. If you were looking for a gameplay feature, why not include reduced bills due to the turbine, or a positive moodlet when it is on. After all, I think they are really quite beautiful.

      Yeah, theyre all along the ridge, all the way to the right edge of the pic.

      If people whine about wanting realism, then THATS realism.

      I mean wind turbines as objects for your household :)

      Me too!! This is one of the few items that I immediately think of when I hear Eco Living. In fact, I think of the Toyota Prius Eco Pack that we received with TS3 to be exact. I would love to see both solar panels and wind turbines with the benefit of reduced monthly bills. :)

      Well it would certainly fit the theme and is something that immediately comes to mind when I hear "eco living." I hope that's not the direction the pack takes though. I want a gameplay object that actually adds some sort of gameplay/interaction. Lowering the bills doesn't interest me at all and doesn't add anything new to the game. The bills are already too forgiving, so I'd probably rarely or never use any object that had such an effect.

      Well the Sims doesn't really promote the normal life does it - how many people have a virtual reality hologram game box in their house, or aliens making men pregnant?

      Smaller ones are becomming more common, especially in rural areas.

      And then there's these, which some cities are starting to use

      This would be fun, there is a mod on mts that had that.

      Don't know if it works but it is a great idea :smile: I like having different kinds of tech around.

      Me too!

      One sims family buys a really large lot in Oasis Springs and has lots of wind turbines and has a fight with some of the neighbors who doesn't want them :)

      It would be fun to be able to interact a little with them, like if you could build them yourself just like the rocket.

      If they do include wind turbines, I hope that they make them small for residential use. If you want a large one, you could just increase the object size.

      I would love to see the return of solar panels and wind turbines, I do a lot of planted roof tops, roof gardens, and patios for my sims, even if they don't reduce bills would love to see them return with this pack
