Let's discuss what we're looking forward to in Eco Lifestyle. Also what plans you have for the pack. Starting a new family. Moving an existing family?
Edited to add the blog.
Change the World
In Evergreen Harbor, every action you take and decision you make influences the state of the world around you. The cleaner Evergreen Harbor gets, the more you’ll see nature thriving. You determine whether the skies are smoggy or clear enough to see the aurora borealis glimmering above. Let garbage pile up on the streets of your neighborhood or clean it up to create lush green walking paths in town. It’s up to you!
Upgrade Your Home
New updates in Build/Buy encourage going green, too. For the first time, you can offset your bills with wind turbines, solar panels, and dew collectors. Reduce your eco footprint and invest in a living rooftop for a splash of bright color. Inside, choose between gorgeous new furniture (sustainably made, of course) or upcycle someone else’s junk into beautiful items!
Make or Break It
Speaking of reclaiming and repurposing things, why don’t you check out a new job as a maker? As you go around town, keep an eye out for collectibles and materials for your next project. Brave Sims might try dumpster diving for resources like dyes, bits and pieces, and ingredients—as long as they don’t mind the smell. Choose the Freelance Crafter career to fill mail and internet orders for your candles, fizzy juices, upcycled objects, and more! Or try to encourage your neighbors to vote for a community maker space where you can all craft together.
Use Your Voice
Unused community spaces are going to waste—literally, as a dump. Rally your neighbors to decide how to use it. To get that maker space, you’re going to need support. Want a shared planting space with vertical gardens instead? Vote for it! Every week, you can join your new community in voting for a Neighborhood Action Plan. Transform the shared lot, promote the performing arts, suggest a weekly workout, demand an upcycling initiative, or explore the many other options on the board. Just know that you could end up wearing a paper bag on your head if things go sideways….
Whatever you do in Evergreen Harbor, know that you are changing the world.

All the new CAS and B/B
The new job/career
The maker space
The little bug house thingy
The new world
I also want to try those different votes to make the community space different everytime, depending on the sim i'm playing.
And i'm looking so forward to play this dirty world just as it is. It'll make for great stories, i'm sure!
Alright there are some things I like about this pack. I kinda laughed when I saw this
I wonder if the new bikes are electric. And what we can do with the bug house.
I love all the crafty stuff, I enjoy having my sims make things.
I think this pack looks interesting and I’m looking forward to more info.
I’m also hoping to add those solar panels and wind turbines to some of my existing houses.
Plus I’d like to find out how many options there are for the community space and how many uses it can have.
And solar panels, and wind turbines, and vertical gardens, and ladders
And a world that looks like Urban Houses/Urban Residential that isn't apartments. Seriously, except for the smog, there are parts of Evergreen Harbor that could pass for areas just blocks from where I live. (Where I live would be Evergreen Harbor at possibly about the half-way point to gentrification/cleaned up... except without the mountains or the northern lights). I'm really hoping the lots are close together.
That Ceramic 3D printer looks really cool. At least I think that's what was used for making the vacuum used towards the end of the trailer. Even if you can't actually make the vacuum.
Really, the more I watch the trailer and read the press stuff, the more interested I am in this expansion, and I was already interested when the name leaked.
*The new career
*DUMPSTER Diving!
*New CAS / Build items (Looks like new clothing for children and toddlers are included this time, yay!
*Ladders
Also, my 'theory'/prediction is that this Fall we'd possibly be getting Farming. That's what I'm thinking, seems to be a good time to release a farming pack.
I'm probably wrong and it is some critter, but that's just my predictions for this November in terms of expansion packs. :P
Because, I'm going back and constantly looking at it from the angle.. maybe it's a big Caterpillar O.o I don't know...(OOH just had a thought! What if it is a caterpillar, and then they turn into butterflies and you can release them!?)*edit*. I guess I'm just really wanting chicken coops and farm animals (I'd love Alpacas, cows, chickens, goats, sheep, etc, so that we could get wool, goat milk, and eggs, etc to make cheese, or other ingredients to add more stuff to the cooking skill, and baking skill! as well as more things to use to knit for when we get the knitting pack!)
I am so excited for more crafting/hobbies! I am very interested in learning more about the bug house.
The build/buy assets look very nice. I always like modern/natural-looking assets.
... until it jumps in your ear and take the control of your brain
Look at him... stretched piercing, nosering, eyebrow ring

The Sims 4 General DiscussionYes they can
This but unironically?
Looks like some great new build stuff so far. I'm looking forward to replacing my container houses with way better looking ones, plus green roofs, vertical gardens, and the like. I'm likely to play through the neighbourhood improvement once and then we'll see what I want to leave it as. Probably the pretty version, mostly, though. Love the setting -- it's very Northwest Coast -- reminds me of places some of my family live out there.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionThis is my wish fulfillment pack, to be honest. You guys can go be famous or be a vampire but I'm less interested in it. It's fun for a while, don't get me wrong, but it's not my dream. I've actually had long term dreams of having a candle shop and separately would love to live in an earthship with a nice garden/greenhouse. Meanwhile, I live in an apartment in a smoggy city but can't get out of to hike anywhere. Because of how my unit is set up, gardening on the balcony doesn't really work out well - plus all the dust from constant construction and tar smells from asphalt or good grief, the sewers getting backed up. A small house with a little sliver of a yard would be millions of dollars here. Not to be too dramatic, but $40 is worth the dream.
- The concept of a changing world (not just getting better, but able to get worse again)
- Grungy style
- Ladders
- Amazing story backdrop
- For a moment there was a bicycle/motorbike variant shown
- Worms? If they produce something or can be used for cooking.
The Sims Studio listen to us, I really appreciate that.
