The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle



The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle is the upcoming ninth expansion pack for The Sims 4. It was leaked and teased on May 5, 2020 with its official trailer and announcement debuting on May 6, 2020. It is due to be released on June 5, 2020 on PC/Mac and consoles.

The pack centers on eco-friendly living, with included features such as sustainable living, renewable energy, crafting and community projects. It also includes the new coastal world of Evergreen Harbor.

It is the first pack in The Sims series to be themed around eco living, with some elements of The Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff, The Sims 2: Seasons, The Sims 3: Ambitions, The Sims 4: Island Living and various renewable energy objects from The Sims 3 Store.

Official description
Change the World In Evergreen Harbor, every action you take and decision you make influences the state of the world around you. The cleaner Evergreen Harbor gets, the more you’ll see nature thriving. You determine whether the skies are smoggy or clear enough to see the aurora borealis glimmering above. Let garbage pile up on the streets of your neighborhood or clean it up to create lush green walking paths in town. It’s up to you!

Upgrade Your Home New updates in Build/Buy encourage going green, too. For the first time, you can offset your bills with wind turbines, solar panels, and dew collectors. Reduce your eco footprint and invest in a living rooftop for a splash of bright color. Inside, choose between gorgeous new furniture (sustainably made, of course) or upcycle someone else’s junk into beautiful items!

Make or Break It Speaking of reclaiming and repurposing things, why don’t you check out a new job as a maker? As you go around town, keep an eye out for collectibles and materials for your next project. Brave Sims might try dumpster diving for resources like dyes, bits and pieces, and ingredients—as long as they don’t mind the smell. Choose the Freelance Crafter career to fill mail and internet orders for your candles, fizzy juices, upcycled objects, and more! Or try to encourage your neighbors to vote for a community maker space where you can all craft together.

Use Your Voice Unused community spaces are going to waste—literally, as a dump. Rally your neighbors to decide how to use it. To get that maker space, you’re going to need support. Want a shared planting space with vertical gardens instead? Vote for it! Every week, you can join your new community in voting for a Neighborhood Action Plan. Transform the shared lot, promote the performing arts, suggest a weekly workout, demand an upcycling initiative, or explore the many other options on the board. Just know that you could end up wearing a paper bag on your head if things go sideways….
