Eco friendly family house

Ah, yes, here they are referred to double paned or double hung windows, some even offer TRIPLE paned blah blah blah. My mistake, wasn't aware they were called a different thing elsewhere. Still doesn't explain your water slide fail. But the back peddling is funny.
"Hurrrrr Nice house, but snarky comment hurrrrr"
"Actually..."
"Hurrrrr Not all the time, because of local topgraphy and climate and other real world things huuuuuuurrrrr"
"Here are some real world facts"
"Huuuuurrrrrrrr it's an imaginary house, why are you bringing up real world stuff? hurrrrrr"
My personal favorite was "I said seemed, so because it was an opinion facts don't apply".

Sims don't need insulation, anyway: Simlandia is isothermal because temperature hasn't been invented yet. It is not hotter inside or outside, everything is the same. No one needs heating or cooling.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is that loud orange thing in the front yard not a water slide? I don't have Generations so I can't say for certain and I admit, until you mentioned it I didn't realize there was a water slide.

No, but there's a waterslide connected to the treehouse.
witch:
The loud orange thing is in fact a waterslide AFAIK. I haven't tried the slide yet and if the treehouse has one too, I will remove the loud orange thing.
I was in the subset of 'kidspace' when I was doing the garden and not the subset of 'eco-friendly', yet, when I saw the water spray on the loud orange thing I did have an eco-twinge. We have metered water here and I have been conditioned to be careful with its use.
ETA: Thanks for the info on the wood fires Sooze, most interesting.
Personally I have given up on some eco-friendly practices in real life. I recently got rid of my $160 per year recycling bin, for instance. I discovered that our town doesn't recycle all classifications of recycling (the number on the bottom of the item is its class), therefore a lot of what I pay to recycle is just chucked in the main rubbish dump anyway. By the time we count in whole boatloads of crap being dumped in the communal oceans, any sacrifice I may make counts for nothing.
I've stopped feeling guilty about driving 20 km a day to work and back when I look at the global number of vehicles clogging the arteries of the world. Hell, I could put myself to a great deal of extra time and inconvenience and catch a diesel spewing bus to work, but what's the point?
I save power only to keep my bills down because when I drive around cities at night I see enough power wastage in lighting and whatnot to cancel out any savings I might make in my lifetime.
And basically, I think it's too late anyway, I think we're fucked, the human race is on the way out. Global warming, the rising oceans and the lack of oil is going to be what does us in. I don't understand why everyone isn't in a panic about this.
