The accessories and hairstyles are all fantastic, and add a lovely little edge to Create-A-Sim.Įco Lifestyle also adds a ton of new 'upcycled' clothing options, and if I'm being frank, most of them are hideous. There's a new paper bag head accessory (don't ask), and as I mentioned before, a ton of new piercing options.
Jokes aside, it's great to see a nice new variety of hairstyles, from space buns with bangs to shaved undercuts to a messy up-do held together by chopsticks (there are far more new hairstyles for female Sims than men - but the boys do get a lovely new beard). These hipsters want to save the environment, and if we want to do so looking like a Portlandia extra, then god dangit it's our prerogative. It makes perfect sense that an expansion pack that brings with it candle making, kombucha brewing, bug farming, and community gardens would allow you to adorn your Sims with giant gauges, partially shaved heads, and (finally) a septum piercing. There is certainly a heavy dose of cliché in the new customization options that come with Eco Lifestyle, but I'm not even remotely mad at it.
