The Sims™ 4 Eco Lifestyle

Reduce, reuse, and recycle! Produce your own electricity and water with solar panels, wind turbines, and dew collectors, or grow your own food in a new vertical garden to really control your impact on the world. Extremists might scrounge through the dumpster, too, to get their next buggy treat or components for a new creation. Some of the items you collect can even be used to craft goods like fizzy juices and candles to fulfill orders online.

Every decision you make—what power sources you rely on, how you design your home, and which Neighborhood Action Plans you vote for—influences the state of the world, from smoggy skies to crystal-clear water. If you don’t take action, you might see nature retreat as junk accumulates around town. On the other hand, buildings bloom with more flora and green when trash is picked up and lots are kept clean.
