The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle for PC is the 9th full expansion pack for the fourth Sims game, in a long-running series that seems to have no natural ending in sight. For this version, you can explore new areas, as always, or you can overlay the eco factors into your existing Sims 4 areas and lifestyles – and some of them might not be as green as you might like to think! What’s New? Sims Go Green could have been an equally accurate title for this game in which your sims discover the joys of recycling, dumpster diving and generally living off the grid. Each area on the map is awarded one of three possible statuses: Industrial, Neutral or Green. The aim is to keep your green areas green, and shift your neutral and industrial areas into green, or as close as possible – and it is not just your game playing creds that are at stake. If you leave your sim in and unchecked industrial area – which looks awful, with litter everywhere, dirt and choking black smoke spewing from factory chimneys – they will become ill from the pollution, suffering from, amongst other things prolonged coughing fits. This can also have an impact if you play the game using previously acquired mansions, luxury cars, and heated swimming pools – all of which are massive power drains and which will hit you in the ecological conscience whenever you are trying to host a pool party or inviting all your friends over for a private showing in your home movie theatre! Just as in real life, making meaningful change in your neighbourhood is tricky, takes time and can be undone with just one or two thoughtless actions. Your sims must invest in one-off (but quite expensive) purchases of equipment, such as dew-collectors (for water gathering), solar panels and wind-turbines (for the provision of power) and – most expensive
