    The Sims 4 base game is the weakest and every pack fail to deliver the idea behind its name no matter how! Its limited and it feels like something is missing. Almost 6 years and still the same.
    Dlcs will not fix a bad base game. In fact every dlc for The Sims 4 looks bad comparing to The Sims 2 or The Sims 3. Thats because how bad the base game is.

    The concept of the pack is interesting and is quite enjoyable when you first use it , the concept of dumpster diving is quite interesting and the world changing based on how green you are. The apartments are a decent addition . However , the weekly neighbourhood votes are annoying especially the caring is sharing. This pack is kind of meh and I just think something is missing.

    I don’t think this expansion deserves the rave critic reviews. It’s just OK compared to others. My biggest gripe is the number of bugs it introduced. From future Cubes, clay balls, white cake, and the worst feature bug ever - the dredded “sharing is caring” NAP that destroys hard-built builds permanently and kills gameplay.

I think critics play for a few hours In the one world and love the pack, but play a little linger and sharing is caring will destroy the game. The only way to fix it is to know how to

    Despite the game's bugs, The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle is a welcome surprise that surpassed my expectations. Even if you're like me and the idea of off-the-grid living doesn't interest you, there's still enough in this pack that makes it worth a look - just don't expect as much replayability as The Sims 4: Seasons.

    Overall, Eco Lifestyle has been an average experience, though to be fair I am not overly interested in the concepts presented in the expansion. In general I have a lot more fun in packs with nightlife, celebrity, magic, and supernatural concepts, and it has been that way for me throughout all of The Sims games. It is pretty neat that your actions have an impact on the map and you see changes, be it negative or positive, but I personally didn’t feel the need to do anything else once I had my neighborhood cleaned up. Evergreen Harbor itself isn’t a very interesting map to live on, and I don’t see myself continuing on with the Sim or game I started on it.

    The Eco Lifestyle expansion feels new and fresh even this far into the game’s lifespan. Another game-changer for The Sims 4, and a true home run for Maxis.
