i have all eco settings off before i started the save to make sure it doesn't get corrupted with buggy NAPs and eco buggy gameplay, before i used to get only NAPs nonfictions now changing the eco footprint.. maybe this is new with January update?
i even checked the option.ini file all eco effects were set to zero..

I suspect the smoggy neighborhood in Evergreen Harbor defaults to "Smoggy" while virtually every single other neighborhood in every single world go green, slowly, if you have Eco Footprint toggled off. That has been my experience, at least. Within a Sim Year there are golden rays over my lot. Every time.
What I am curious about is how you got Sulani smoggy, that literally should not be able to happen unless you play with eco footprint On AND deliberately sabotage the environment.
I mean I have even noticed that if you have Eco Footprint OFF and visit Sulani the amount of trash is much smaller than normal and it goes green VERY quickly just by picking trash on the beaches and snorkling.
For me it has been like this since Eco Living came out.
However I realize now I have put Eco friendly equipment on all community lots in all worlds, which might be why all worlds push green slowly for me.
Before I turned on back again I was even picking up the trash on the land on ocean trying to keep it clean but in my current neighborhood I'm not sure if I have to visit all neighborhoods and clean it"ll be exhausting tbh and the trash return after a day..
I mean if it's my neighborhood I dont have to travel constantly to pick up trash in all worlds but I thought each neighborhood has separated eco footprint?
But I'm cleaning my neighborhood daily now in sulani and added more bushes and trees and dew collector plus grew a garden and taking care of it, my power consumption is very too, only the fridge, the rest are off the grid..
So I don't get why it went industrial so easily..
I believe the outside of the apartments does not change with the eco footprint but is controlled by the NAPs. Did you recently enact or repeal the green initiative or modern development NAP? Those control the look of the buildings and streets in evergreen Harbour. You can quickly change the NAP by shift clicking on the community board.
