Game Pack Idea: Farm Living
I replied to the Nectar making thread, but the idea kind of expanded beyond that and I wanted to post something a little more flushed out. Inspiration from the Farm to Table trend: New Neighbour...

I'd rather see this as an expansion pack. There have been several threads on this in the last few years and waaaaay too many ideas (or too large of concepts) to pack into a game pack. I think even what you have stated here is too much for a game pack.
First, it needs a larger world to include larger lots. They tend to only have small worlds in game packs.
There are many more harvestables they could add. We still don't have some basics like lettuce and cucumbers and so many other veggies like corn, okra and squash. I want peach trees and real orange trees. Where are the blueberries? Wheat, oat, barley and rice would be appreciated.
Livestock including chickens, cows, sheep and llamas. We could collect eggs from chickens, milk from cows and wool from sheep and llamas. We could make cheese and butter along with so many other recipes. We could shear sheep and llamas, spin the wool into fibers, create cloth on a loom and sew our own clothing.
A Farmer's Market could be added to sell harvestable goods. Let the Sims bargin here or maybe even barter for goods.
A County Fair would be so much fun with some carnival rides and caricature artists (a new option for "painters"). Food stalls with corn dogs, cotton candy and funnel cakes. Add the ability to make these at home by adding a deep fryer. Expand more recipes to include fried okra and fried turkey. A crock pot would be another nice kitchen appliance.
