Eco Workshop Update

Live your best environmentally responsible life in our latest Eco Workshop update!
Sul sul,
Open your own Eco Workshop venue to ‘Play Green with Life’ and live sustainably in The Sims Mobile! Work with Knox from Evergreen Harbor to upcycle and restore old items. Give them a new lease on life for your Sims to enjoy and create your own eco-friendly lifestyle in the latest update.
Eco Workshop Venue
The Sims in Briny Heights are encouraging each other to go green and live sustainably! This has sparked the idea of opening a new community workshop in Parkside that takes old, unfashionable and outdated items and lets you restore them into new, repurposed things and take them home for your Sims!
Once you’ve unlocked your own Eco Workshop, Knox from Evergreen Harbor visits The Sims Mobile to help walk you through the new venue! Passionate players of The Sims 4 will recognise the new character Knox, from the gameplay trailers for the new Eco Lifestyle expansion! Knox is an Eco activist and wants to improve the community and return a bit of nature. He wants to influence players of The Sims Mobile to upcycle, refurbish and restore their old items, and make a difference in the town to benefit the environment!
The ‘Eco Workshop’ is a brand new way to play. This permanent new base game venue unlocks at Level 9 using Simoleons. The rewards that are available to players to ‘upcycle and refurbish’ each week are highly requested decor, clothing and accessories that you may have seen before from previous events. Each week, the items available to craft will be different for every player depending on the items you’ve previously unlocked from popular past events!
Workshop Shifts
Sims can complete fun shifts at the Eco Workshop to earn crafting materials. Each week there will be different projects available for you to complete, which all require different materials. It will depend what day of the week it is as to what materials are provided during Workshop Shifts.
Crafting Materials
All Projects require various amounts of thread, tape and nuts & bolts to restore the item prizes. Every week, the project item prizes will vary from decor, gadgets, accessories and fashion! See the FAQ Page for the full list of event items.
Workshop Upgrade - Recycle Tokens
Make the community a better place by upgrading the Workshop from drab to fab! The basic shipping container can be gradually upgraded into a modern innovative space. Upgrading not only changes the entire aesthetic, but also increases production and storage of crafting materials, gives you access to new tools/equipment.
Upgrading the Workshop requires ‘Recycle Tokens’ that are provided to you by completing LlamaZoom Tasks.

Tiny Eco Retreat Premium House Lot
Simmers will love downsizing their dwellings and getting back to nature with the new Tiny Premium House lot! Inspired by the overwhelmingly popular TS4 Tiny Living Stuff Pack release from January this year, this fully furnished micro-home features functional sustainability elements from Eco Lifestyle on a lot filled with trees, bushes and jungle-themed greenery.
For the first time, you’ll be able to choose between obtaining the empty lot foundation without a pre-built house, like an open canvas to start building your own dream design! Be sure to check out the fully furnished eco-home that comes with brand new exterior wood paneling and support beams. You’ll be able to build upwards up to three floors – it wont be possible to expand your land on this lot.
Builders and storytelling-type players will love this affordable multi-level architectural design that brings nature into their Sims living spaces. It’s the sixth house lot in Briny Heights and is characterized by its tiny footprint, timber finishes, exposed wooden structure, and of course, green vegetation and a trickling lakeside that can be seen throughout.
