ECO LIFESTYLE SIMGURU/MAXIS-SOURCED INFO
Thanks in advance to everyone who helps source info!
No speculation, please. Thanks as well for keeping on topic here — this thread can move fast even on topic as marketing ramps up. This
isn't a discussion thread.

NOTE: I’ll do my best to keep this very quickly updated, but I’m taking a couple of intensive courses right now and working part-time, so sometimes I’m offline for a few hours at a time (well, or sleeping).

Will there be some?
"#labmeat" (so labelled on Giphy by Maxis) appears to be a harvestable:
This Maxis-uploaded gif on Giphy shows a "meat" product being sliced from a wall of "meat". Vegans/vegetarians might not want to see a wall of "meat" being sliced until we know what it actually is, so I'm not actually showing the gif here.

- NOTE: "Civil Designer" is not capitalized or called a "career" in the other available material so far; it's possible that the press release author misinterpreted the pack features from the Origin listing. I've given it a question mark above. It could be that the caps weren't used when they usually would be in Origin.
