Introducing a voting mechanic also makes every Sim feel important.
It adds a much-needed sense of community and a worthwhile reason for forging friendships within your local neighbourhood. You can also impact town behaviour by voting on more gardening initiatives or encouraging your Sim neighbours to reduce their power consumption. Implementing positive ‘green’ initiatives will clean up the local neighbourhood and allow the development of new trees, decorative gardens and sustainable resources. The new town location of Evergreen Harbour feels alive and your Sims can have a direct impact on how it looks. It also breathes life into your Sims’ local neighbourhood. The Sims 4 has often been criticised for feeling empty or goalless, but having a new reason to make friends and get involved in community activities is a welcome change. It’s a unique system and one that makes reaching out to your neighbours feel genuinely worthwhile. These influence points are used to vote on upcoming NAPs and determine what developments your neighbourhood has planned.
These Boards quickly become a meeting point for your entire neighbourhood, and it’s here that your Sims can make friends, influence them to vote for their chosen NAP or just introduce themselves.Įvery action you perform that’s categorised as ‘neighbourly’ or ‘friendly’ will now earn you influence points. Votes take place via mail-in ballot or at your neighbourhood’s Community Board. NAPs determine the future plans for a whole Sims neighbourhood and can be voted on by any household member. The most important of these new actions are community initiatives known as Neighbourhood Action Plans (NAPs). Because of this, neighbourhoods feel more realistic and ‘lived in’.Įco footprint is impacted by many actions like town-wide initiatives, purchasing eco-enabling technology like rain catchers and solar panels, or by upgraded your existing electronics with eco-friendly parts (which actually makes learning the ‘handiness’ skill feel worthwhile). Rather than being a hindrance, this feels like a very nifty way to make players think more about their Sims and how they live. This mechanic introduces sustainability to your Sims household and places a ‘power consumption’ toll on every electronic item in the game. These are the steps you can take to lower your own eco footprint. Sims are graded on their power consumption and recycling skills - but the final score depends on the sustainability of their neighbours too. Among them is the 'eco footprint' system which grades how environmentally sustainable your Sim's house and lifestyle is. The Sims 4's Eco Lifestyle expansion pack introduces a bunch of new features never seen in Sims games before.
