The basics of The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle is that you are trying to improve your neighbourhood’s eco footprint by enacting small projects and slowly improving the world in interesting ways. To be able to get anything done in this game, you’re going to need to earn influence points in order to vote for these projects to go through.

You can do this on your mailbox, on the voting board in the neighborhood or at the voting board at the community space.
