Hayward is a small farming town with seven lots (three pre made homes, two community lots, one empty lot and a large park).

Too small.
I'd prefer a rural world with at least 3 neighbourhoods, one being the village, and made up of small lots around a village green (aka the place for markets, fairs and festivals. The village also needs the local pub, a place to drink a pint of your favourite yeasty brew.

Hayward is based on a Minnesota town with folksy charm, the town has a large park/ peach orchard.

Ho hum.
The game needs to get away from US themes, and become a little more global.
Lets have a rural English countryside instead.

Animals and bugs:
Horses
Chicken (please no Charles the chicken)
Pigs
Sheep (their wool can help with knitting)
Slugs & Snails

Needs ducks, cows, and goats.

Harvest-able

Peaches
Peas
Wild Strawberries
Cherries
Cucumbers
Corn
Straw
Leeks
Fresh eggs
Milk
Oats

Needs wheat, barley, and rye. Turnips, cabbage, and beetroot.
Also, what the heck is "Straw"? Are you meaning what is left after harvesting grain?
Not sure where you planned on getting the milk from... Sheep? Nah, we're gonna need cows and goats.

Radio station

Folk

Yes please!. Some nice English folk music! Maybe some OECD, and some Morris Dance tunes.

Recipes

Venison pie
Chicken pie
Beef pie
Corn on the corn
Cornbread
Cheddar apple pie
Pecan pie
Pea soup
Biscuits
Wild rice soup
Fakon (Fake Bacon) and apple salad

Needs more pie. Lamb pie, Cottage pie, Shepherds pie.
And needs more bread. Country cob, Loaf of Rye, Oatcakes.
And more soups, Grandma's chicken soup, Nonna's Minestrone, and Babushka's best Borscht.

Cheese making!
Yogurt, soft cheeses, cottage cheese, hard cheeses, matured cheeses. This pack needs to be cheesy
Also could include some gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches in the recipes list... hmmm like Welsh Rarebit.



Brewing!!!
Brew your own yeasty brew, use different grains for different brews. And maybe keep the sludge at the bottom of the vat, so your sims have some tasty yeast extract to spread on their toast, or put in their pies and soups for added flavour.
