I dunno why, but eating fish tacos out of the trash is particularly horksome, isn't it? Like, it's already rotten, but it's rotten fish.īritta spends all her time doing this, to the exclusion of almost anything else.

Britta's favourite thing to do is to spend hours dumpster diving for fish tacos and discarded dye to make yet more candles. Sims can dive for meals (remnants of gone-off food), deals (discarded treasures) or ingredients (stuff to make other stuff) until they're empty again. The dumpsters around the neighbourhoods are periodically filled with more trash, and you can do loads with them. Britta is, and I cannot emphasise this enough, fucking grim. Britta gets a mood buff specifically from eating food that's spoiled. Britta would genuinely prefer to steal things than buy ingredients to cook with. Freegans like neither spending nor earning money, so I have made an extremely conflicted Sim who wants to ABC (always be crafting) but does not want to sell the shitty candles she makes. She is a Master Maker, so she wants to fabricate things and make candles and fizzy juice, but I also made her a Recycle Disciple, which means she likes pawing through rubbish to separate recyclables and compostables, and a Freegan. God bless you, Nigel.īritta, on the other hand, is a disgusting gremlin. One time he set himself on fire cooking burgers. He goes to work, and is a mostly productive, if slightly unclean, member of society. Nigel Sneed is an Eco Innovator, so he just wants to gain influence in the community and vote on action plans. And that is crawling through other people's filth.Įco Lifestyle has added a bunch of fun hipster activist clothes, piercings and haircuts, which I love, but it has also added some extremely synergistic personality traits and goals.

But there is one thing that makes Britta happy. They are constantly dirty and unhappy because they shower in brackish, room temperature water, and on their first night a huge thunderstorm destroyed their dew collector, so showers may soon become a thing of the past. The Sims get sick even going outside because the air quality is so poor.

They moved into the off-the-grid shipping crate home in Port Promise, which is an industrial port area in a terrible state, and promptly became abjectly miserable. I made a pair of Sim eco warrior roomies called Britta Horace and Nigel Sneed, along with Britta's small and lazy mongrel dog Graham. I'm trying out various different new things in the new neighbourhoods added with Evergreen Harbour, but so far I can say that living in an eco-friendly way is hard, especially if you're off the grid. I am working on my review for The Sims 4's newest expansion pack, Eco Lifestyle, in which you can choose to live carbon neutral or carbon positive, but so far, it is fun.
