lol they really just be making anything at this point .. the knitting pack is so disappointing and this agh, idk. But I’m excited about all the new plants they’re going to give us.
Well this is dumb
There could still be farm type stuff. If you grow your own food and raise your own animals that’s eco friendly isn’t it?
eco pack sounds boring.. but if the sims can have chickens and cows and start their own gardening with it that is something eco. otherwise it is like the feature island living and that is boring bc it was only in sulani.. i wish there were insects in evry world like the outdoor camping pack i dont know the name
To me this sounds great! I was already playing with a cult/commune challenge on an off-the-grid island in Sulani. This pack sounds like it could be used for that kind of thing
Yes!
I have a feeling this shouldve been a game pack, it doesn’t have much content to be an expansion lol (seeing as we already got off the grid in island living)
A lot of simmers were hoping for country living, a little disappointed with this lol.
You don’t even know what will be in it yet. You’ve just read a blurb about it. I wanted country living too but this might be great, and be able to combine country living/farming with being eco friendly (since good farms are great for our eco system).
Huuuh,instead of these expansion packs,how about giving us simmers 100% control of our sims (family),being able to drive cars,walk down the street without a load screen,hold hands while walking,kiss,put your child up on your shoulders,being able to buy a summer home on consoles,making the weather change,not having to point where you want your sims to go but being able to just use the controller and have them just walk there,being able to operate your boat on an exotic island,scuba diving, swimming with local marine life,I mean,I can go on and on about how to improve this game and expansion packs are NOT ALL it needs!
Hi, can we all go on strike and not but this pack? We don’t need more eco friendly stuff, at least not in an expansion
I wont buy it. Nor will i buy the knitting pack. I am striking with you.
I’ve played all the sims 1, 2, 3 and 4…honestly still wishing for the sims 4 to be more like the sims 3! I miss the feature when you were able to walk your sim from your home to any lot…and saw the car driving from home, less loading and waiting. Even the University expansion pack was better. Honestly being more and more disappointed with the creators.
should have been called ECO living like keep it consistent (Island living, city living,etc..)
All I’ve ever wanted was werewolves.
Wow! How did they know I wanted to pick up trash and recycle in a virtual world!?! This really helps me escape reality…. Someone on the ideas commitee is about to get fired lol this is going to flop soooo bad!!
I can’t believe how blatant your disregard for the sim community is. Who wants this washed up, after-thought garbage? Not me
I…Really? I got enough eco-friendly content in tiny living, thank you. I thought “Nifty Knitting” was going to be the worst of it.
I’ve been playing The Sims since the very beginning of Sims 1. I recently got The Sims 1 running again and it reminds me how little true inventiveness, charm, and deep gameplay are in the current iteration. Eco Living will be the first Sims 4 pack that I do not buy. They need to add the charm, surprises, deep and unexpected gameplay as well as the cheekiness of the original back. I saw that the current developers brag that they have never played The Sims 1 and they don’t play the current Sims 4 iterations. Given this statement, it’s no wonder the game has become a boring, disappointing slog.
Yawn…. Have they been paying any attention at all to the surveys people have been filling out?? This is so disappointing, a stuff pack maybe, for this stuff, but an expansion pack, really?? I won’t be wasting my money, that’s for sure
did EA even think about a farming pack or they don’t listen to sims fans.
Well, another one that sucks. Great.
The Sims franchise has really fallen off. I used to play My Sims, Sims Bustin’ Out and Sims 2 as a kid and remember it being so much fun. (I never had the liberty of playing Sims 3 though.) Sims 4 is like a shadow of it’s formerself. The expansion packs are so boring and unfulfilling. Most of these expansion packs are not worth 40 dollars. I have a feeling this will be one of them.
I’m glad to see that I am not one of the only ones disappointed in the next expansion. I was truly hoping for Country Living or something more to do with farm life. Nothing will change as long as there are people who still buy the packs. I loved Sims 3 and hope that maybe we will have a farm expansion coming up…
same
Don’t fall for its trailer – they’ll try win us over with all the fancy special effects, but we must resist! However good it looks, it’ll only try cover up the lack of actual ‘stuff’ – if previous expansions are anything to go by, what they’ve said in the description is pretty much all we’re getting!
I don’t want ECO living EA could have added way more in a farming pack
Very underwhelming not every millenial wants this in thier game sure these issues are important but I’d rather actually make a difference in real life than in a game thats suppose to be fun! I play to forget we are destroying the planet not be reminded of it I really hope this is the last of the eco bullshit. I want actual depth to my game and sims something that actually makes me want to play the game this isn’t it. Didn’t seem like you could do a whole lot. I shall be passing on this missed opportunity what a shame.I mean sure it’s great you can change thier environment but I’d rather do that where it would benefit me not my sims
We already have a bunch if outdoor packs… we want an EXPANSION PACK like the sims 3 generations…. I love the sims 4 but we already have so much outdoor stuff and young adult stuff…. we want stuff for elders and teen stuff and children stuff and toddler stuff and make babies not objects. Every simmer would love a generations pack….
I agree!!!
The Sims 4 is so meh at this point, I really thought they’d be adding new stuff more frequently like when they patched in pools and ghosts not long after launch.
It’s okay Animal Crossing truly has my attention and for a fraction of the price lol.
Me too, I haven’t touched this game once since Animal Crossing dropped.
I want horses and improved babies not whatever this is come on EA you can do better than this
An expansion pack about environmental friendliness, in a game about collecting as much stepford housewife clout as possible.
That’s not conflicting interests at allllllll.
This sounds horrible
I just wanted chicken
Same i just want to raise chickens
Can EA hire new idea people please? Get rid of the hipsters and hire real gamers. They will tell you what we really want.
Seriously! 20 year player here and I can give lists upon lists of simple improvements and ideas
i don’t get it a farming expansion would have way more content then eco living why would EA do this?
Maybe this some bs to get our minds off of country living! But, supposedly a new world comes with ECO living so maybe it will be fun…
snooze ea this is all the same we don’t want eco living we already have a bunch of that kind of stuff we DONT WANT IT
Eco loving sounds like a snore…. like I don’t understand how they can ignore their community so much?! We want chickens!!! We want farms!!! We want animals!!! We DON’T want an expansion pack for an expansion pack(example: sims pets and then their stupid idea to make people pay for small animals, when that should have been included to at least make up for not having horses!!)
WORD NAT!!
Right now it kinda sounds like a story type pack (like strangerville)
I will quit playing this game completely if this pack is anything like strangerville. They need to listen to players for ONCE
They did listen to the players. Back in 2017, the community voted for Eco living as a general theme. It was what we wanted, and now they’re giving it to us
Wow why is everyone complaining before you even find out what the pack involves? It can still involve farming. Sustainable food growing involves growing your own food. And having your own chickens & livestock is better for the environment than having a big production of beef etc. And reminder, you don’t have to buy it if you don’t like it, but personally I’m looking forward to seeing what the pack involves.
Totally agree with you!! God why so negative already
You can understand our side though, I personally don’t wanna farm. I want family stuff, their will probably be good things in it, but family gameplay is what I mainly use. After building, everytime I play as a sim they always have kids and their is nothing to do with kids.
Also, I think this type of thing is more gamepack, for expansion pack I want that I can use a lot.
No. If there were farming gameplay in this, the blurb would mention it for sure.
Country living would of been way better please give us farms
This included nothing from the survey they did LOL
It’s so tiring to see that people keep complaining… Guys, we don’t even have the trailer yet! Just start getting happy of what you have and what you get, I swear life if so much sweeter like that
I agree that it’s awesome that the Sims team is doing more to get the community involved and that they’re still releasing new things for the game, but keep in mind that people have the right to express their opinions and be dissatisfied with what is coming out for a game that they’re passionate about. Most of this comment section is full of simmers who aren’t as optimistic as you about the new pack, and that says something in that of itself. Also, eps are usually around $20 (I believe? Correct me if I’m wrong) so it makes sense that there are those who are hesitant to buy stuff that they didn’t necessarily want for a game that they like.
Expansions are usually 50 to 60
Eco Lifestyle could include cars… and pollution. Maybe even factories. I think it could be interesting.
Was the conservation career, off the grid lot trait, and tiny living not enough eco-friendly for the team? Seriously, how much of this do we need in the game? And to think there was a fake about a farming pack. Now THAT would have been new and interesting.
Actually it didn’t sound that good, buuut I’m waiting for the Trailer tomorrow! Maybe they include farms with it, I don’t really know what to expect about it but I’ll give it a chance.
Who said there is going to be no farming? Growing your own produce is eco friendly…
I’m honestly kinda excited for this one. I get that it’s kind of in Island Living but I think this could be a lot different if they thought about it.
but chances are, they didnt.
i hate the fact that everyone commenting is so negative about the pack? it sounds interesting!!! i cant wait to see where they take this pack!! its good to include it in the game so people realize whats happening on earth rn. stop being so negative and give it a chance. no one is forcing u to buy the pack. get over urselfs
Well I hate the fact that your complaining about others complainants. Just ignore and mind your business if you’re annoyed by others opinions.
Country Living better be a Game pack cause this ain’t it.
It looks like it might be an expansion pack that encompasses all the things from this –
https://simscommunity.info/2017/06/23/the-sims-4-eco-living-vote-for-gameplay-features/
We even have some of the things already from the whiteboard screen shot but look at the vote descriptions, they all look like they could be included in Eco Living (except for the laundry day stuff since that’s already out).
I wanted the rumored country expansion pack for horses, chickens and cows and sheep and other farm animals. 🙁
Doesn’t sound very interesting. I’m tired of them not putting their all in a pack, letting down old school simmers. I’m not giving them any of my money and I’m at the point where I’m just saying I want paralives
How lackluster? Would be cool to see how your decisions affect the world but I need something better. That could be a game pack not an expansion.
Urgh really?! Country living! Horses! That’s what we want! Come on this is torture, waiting!
