Country/Farm Expansion

I am sure this has been requested a few times but I would to input my idea as it may have tons of different things than what others have stated.

It would be nice to have an out of SimCity expansion pack in some way. Being a simmer for all my life I remember playing a game on Gameboy Advance called Urbz: Sims in the city and I remember your sim starting out at your grandfather's farm and having to fix his tractor at one point. It would be nice if we can have a whole new map with giant lots like an acreage or an actual farm where your sim might have activities like milking cows for fresh milk that you can sell or cook with, maybe pet the cows interaction, feed the cows interaction, clean after the cows interaction that might cause your sims to get dirty and uncomfortable or tense due to being hard work. Maybe it will help if you level up your athletic/fitness skill in order to get better at poop shovelling. Maybe some chickens that you can get fresh quality eggs from that you can sell or keep for cooking. Maybe interactions with the chickens similar to the cows where you can feed them or pet them. Children sims can maybe run around and chase them or play with the chickens. Maybe add a horse so you can use a ride interaction or a pet interaction or a brush interaction. It would be nice to have the cats and dogs expansion intermingle so we can have a barn cat or a farm dog to herd cows into the pasture to graze for better quality milk. Some more farm interactions would be to play in hay stacks/hay piles, fishing as some farm plots might have a man made pond/dugout with fish in them. Interaction for frog catching at those dugout ponds.

This expansion would be a great expansion to start a bee farm for the honey. Therefore I think it would be cool to be able to place a greenhouse or build one on the farm plots where you can store tons of garden plots. Maybe orchard trees we can place that grows fresh fruit to sell or cook with or eat. Or grape vines so we can start a vineyard.

These farm plots would need room for an actual ground garden for farm type crops. Something along those lines. Then with the sims 4 seasons you need to get your crops harvested before the winter month.

With all the crops and farm animals products, and other growables and harvestables maybe we can have the sims farmer's market or the sims flea market where your sim can set up a stall and sell all their eggs and milk and fresh crops from the farm.

With farms come new outfits so of course we would need the essentials like a straw hat and red plaid/flannel shirt with blue denim overalls or work pants, some boots, etc etc

For build mode we would need materials to make our houses look country and old country decks etc etc

We have been cooped up in big ol' Sim City for years with all that pollution. I think it's high time to get out into the country and for some fresh air to do some work on the farm.

    Since I actually live on a farm, I love this idea. I want to be able to have cows, chickens, sheep, etc & be able to grow plants in larger quantities in fields.
  • Glad I am not the only one that wants something like this. Now if any of the longer term users that read this can you please send this to the devs so they can better see this. That would be awesome. Been wanting something like this is the sims for years.
  • I would love to see a farming expansion pack. I believe that we could even get a whole world from this and possibly new careers. If we got an expansion pack it would have to be massive! In the pack, we could have horses, pigs, cows and maybe even sheep. We could have aspects in the pack where you could train the horses and maybe shear the sheep and sell the wool!

    I would also love a Farming Expansion. It would be perfect with off-the-grid & my historical households. The lots would have to be bigger in size though. & It would be a good idea to have horses as well as the farm animals.

    I've been playing since the original game and I even bought the creator's book on how to make video games. I remember playing on a computer that didn't even have 100Mb of RAM.

    Not sure how much "cred" that would give me with the developers. LOL.

  • I would LOVE this! We could raise cows, sheep, chickens, and pigs. Then, we can sell the product from each for money or sims could use the wool for the new knitting pack. It would be fun if we added grocery stores and the farmers could sell veggies or herbs to the local market. OR they could sell their stuff to neighbors?? This is a harsher side to farming, but if we butchered the cows and pigs (without graphics of course), they could keep the meat and add it to the fridge or sell it as well. No sure if these are good idea, but would definitely be so so fun if added to the game!
  • I would love love love a farming expansion with a GIANT world with a TON of lots. I wish we had more lots per neighborhood and per world.
