Don't get me wrong, the trailer isn't out yet. But has anyone ANY idea why they made this decision at all after island living, Tiny living etc.
maybe im missing out but did we asked for this?

Somehow it morphed into a full-on focus on laundry, but the core theme was in very high demand.
apparently it was the second most requested "according" to a survey...I didn't ask for it...honestly, I would have loved if the farming expansion was true...-shrug- I didn't ask for it, I didn't ask for Tiny Living...
So yeah...
Personally, I and others have suggested to gurus to make this green living pack in the Ideas section of this forum.
And a lot of people voted for a pack like this when we were voting on The Community Stuff pack 1.

Some of the ideas they came up with during that:

Am I the only one who wouldn't be angry IF this was a SP? Like a whole EXPANSION!?
People react like this literally any time they announce any pack, lol.
I'm not saying that folks can't criticize EA (I do all the time! I have complaints!), but "people are complaining the new pack isn't their preferred theme" happens with literally every new pack.
I think it's exasperated this time by the hoax farming pack leak where a certain sect of players got their dreams crushed, which I will fully admit (having been through similar myself) can be a pretty harsh feeling.
But it's still demonstrably factually wrong to say "no one wanted this", which people who didn't want this will say any time any pack is coming out ever.
This EA account is shared between two longtime roommates. The one most likely to be writing here is me, the taller of the roommates, whose opinions do not always represent the opinions of the shorter roommate.
I didn’t say no one wanted it. I said people voted for this theme for a stuff pack, but they may not have done for an expansion pack.
I think this is a good point. I didn't vote in that poll at the time because it's a stuff pack, IMO stuff packs are negligible, hardly affect gameplay and I never buy them right away.
But an expansion pack?! They should've reran the poll again and indicated it was for an EP. 100% eco-living would not have won, more people would have voted and opinions would've shifted as now we're talking EP's.
- eco living/carbon footprint reduction (mentioned in the leaked potential description)
- off the grid: wind turbine (and possibly other alternative energy sources)
the only thing we don't have a mention of yet is preserve making/nectar making.
So, real reason for this EP? I'm guessing the devs taking what hasn't been made into that SP and since the themes were easily combined, they decided to make it into a whole expansion.
There's also a good chance that this was in the works before IL and very likely before TL.
This! It's part of the life of many many people nowadays. People with all kind of lives and all kind of backgrounds. For me it makes all sense to be considered in this game.
Well more than half the world is in lockdown so the lack of flying and car use would not be happening have it not been for this virus going around...
That is true for right now. But even before the pandemic, the world has been moving toward renewable energy (solar, wind, water), removing the use of plastic, etc.
I think that's why the theme was voted for back then and as @ParmaViolet87 said, it reflects the world around us (well, for some, obviously, not for everyone).
They needed more money so they burped up another crabby pack.
Not the only one. And I feel like we've already gotten this pack with IL and Tiny Living. It's just beating a dead horse at this point.
That's the whole issue here. Though I did not, a lot of people wanted eco living, I saw people talking about it and begging for it on different sites. So technically they gave people what they wanted but I don't think anyone was prepared to have a whole expansion about it. 😆

I would love a pack about the past, but I prob wouldn't pick Medieval times, I'd prefer pet dinosaurs type thing, haha!!!!
An option to turn off phones would work very well in the Eco pack too though Ithink, it could fit in with an off-the-grid type lifestyle and so could candles.
