My biggest concern after the announcement of The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack was if the pack is gonna have restricted gameplay that’s exclusive to the new world of Evergreen Harbor. The pack promises pollution and general ecological effect on the world around you – however the team wasn’t very clear on which one.
SimGuruFrost has clarified this on Twitter and said that Eco Lifestyle will impact almost all of The Sims 4 Worlds (including the ones from previous packs) – except for destination worlds like Granite Harbor and Selvadorada, as well as StrangerVille because the pack already has a linear storyline.
Yes, during our livestream later this month we will show off the gameplay that affects the world of Evergreen Harbor and every other world you own EXCEPT destination worlds and Strangerville. https://t.co/GVRkCBr2hV

He also confirmed that you’ll be able to put the eco footpring on hold and pause it in the game options!
There is a game option that pauses eco-footprint effects from happening, like many other pack specific game options this is set per save.
Also please give @SimGuruFont some love, he's been verifying answers for me! 💚 https://t.co/zb5w60elBh
