Underhill Eco Home
In the hole in the ground there lived a... Sim!
This Hobbit-like home is perfect for 1-2 Sims wishing to experience the cosy comfort of ecological living.
This mod seeks to challenge what type of aesthetics are connected to sustainable houses in Sims modding. The most dominant trend among eco houses are ‘clean, sleek modern designs combined with a connection to nature’. A downside of having a popular imagery connected to sustainability, is that people who do not connect with the imagery, would possibly also not connect to the topic of sustainability. This mod seeks to challenge the ‘clean and sleek’ design trend in favour of a fantasy-inspired look.
EcoLifestyle expansion minimally used.

About Me
'SustainableSims' is dedicated to creating Sims content that considers how The Sims 4 can be used as a tool to combat the climate crisis.
The climate crisis affects the entire planet. This human-caused crisis is irreversible on a timescale of a single lifetime, and will still worsen. Combatting this crisis will require social change driven by new socialtechnological imaginaries. Not only do we need to develop new societal goals, we need to design new societal, economic, and cultural structures. The climate crisis arose from a network of interwoven issues from processes such as capitalism, classism, and colonialism. Fighting the climate crisis is thus inherently a political act.
Video games can help facilitate combatting this crisis through the communication (meta)practices they make possible. They help us question the way we live, and then let us propose new alternatives. Using this angle, The Sims can be an ecocritical tool to consider new imaginaries.
