Not completely the same but I am also having some problems with Eco Footprint changes. After traveling to other lots or taking vacations (for example to Selvadorada), on my active house lot my Eco footprint reset back to neutral (0%) although it was too close to (like 80%) completely green. I do not know if it is necessary to mention that i have also too many green appliances lol. It happened more than once and really frustrating.

Same issue. It doesn't seem to matter how much green (wind turbines, solar, green wallpaper/floor, dew collectors) I build on lots and policies I enact, it turns green and then drifts back to neutral within hours or days. And if I do the opposite, make all lots industrial, it is always neutral.

Is this issue fixed yet?

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Attempt to make a neighborhood industrial with eco lifestyle.
What happens when the bug occurs? Whenever I try to make a neighborhood industrial, the bar will fill all the way and change to industrial, but soon after will start moving back toward neutral even when I add more industrial footprint objects and wallpaper/flooring.
What do you expect to see? The bar to stay in industrial and the neighborhoods and homes to stay industrial.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.

With my gameplay I want to make the neighborhoods of San Myshuno industrial, but the eco bar is so buggy that it always navigates toward neutral no matter what. I place industrial objects and use them, I change the wallpaper and flooring for each apartment, and still everything remains neutral. Even when I get to the green in the eco bar it starts depleting back to neutral. I would really like this fixed as I love the mechanics, it just doesn’t work right at all.

No, unfortunately not yet. 😭😭😭

I’m having a similar issue, but in reverse - I sent my sims to visit Port Promise and the meter is already halfway to neutral after a four hour visit. I thought perhaps other lots were changing it but they are showing industrial; and when I edited one to remove all green influences and add industrial ones, it’s then changed to a neutral lot. I don’t understand what I’m supposed to do and I feel like I’m going to miss out on a huge part of the world if I can’t stop Port Promise from changing - any ideas?

Update: The issue seems to be every lot I visit becomes neutral, no matter what I was before or what I do to it.
