No Farming EP but Farming Kits, which one must be the first?

This is the case:

EA offers Farming Kits with even a roadmap instead a whole pack to focused in Generations or Supernatural like packs, but Farming will be a thing in the end.

The chooses are:

Chicken coop: fresh eggs, chicks interactions and Charles the Evil Chickens returns

Cow dairy: fresh milk

Sheep corral: fresh milk (sheep milk will have unique recipes) and fiber

Canning station: produces sauces, pickles and canned food for selling

Grandpa tractor: take care and harvest many plants at once with a tractor

Greenhouse: much like the gardening station from TS3 Store, but this time is a greenhouse room tool for build

Butter churn: makes butter, adding herbs to seasoning

Nectar making: two options: off the grid (TS Freeplay) and powered (TS3 World Adventures) to produce nectar. Includes new harvestables

Sewing: two options as well: vintage Singer and a electric powered one to craft new clothes, courtains teddies and other stuff.

Another: pig, goat, axe throwing, banjo, lawn mowing, pottery

Also, due all animals produces manure, without counting another organic scraps like pet poop and raked leaves, the composting bin will be added to the base game as a free update.

    I can't see them doing a sewing kit. Too much overlap with the Knitting pack, which was a whole stuff pack (and suggests they couldn't fit a similarly-sized skill in a kit).

    If they plan on kits for farming, I'd want them to add animals through kits instead of putting them inside the farming game pack. This way they could give us farming and give us the option to not purchase the animals, because some people don't want the animal part of farming. I personally don't mind them including everything in an EP, but I know some people wouldn't even get it if there were animals included.


    Maybe, the remaining animal from an eventual farming EP can be added as Kits.

    For example, if farming only includes chickens, cows, sheep and horses, the pigs and goat can be released as kits.

    If they released a farming EP, but had anything that didn't fit as a kit I'd be okay. I don't want it all in kits though.
  • We would never get all those. Ever. Not even a forth. Kits won't be a bunch of same idea stuff. It would have to be in an EP to be worth it. Kits are for odd ball ad ons not stuff like farming in which there's plenty to make an EP with. The only way to make farming worth having is in EP form.
  • I'd prefer farming items be included in a dedicated EP/game pack because there's enough possible hero items to make a large pack. Kits should be used for more niche activities/items.
  • Sorry not to be voting. It’s a great idea you have and thank you for taking the time to make it. ??.

    I love you chose cows ? , sheep ? and chickens ? among the choices. I’m glad you didn’t forget tractors. ?.

    I think I’d prefer an EP first. An EP usually comes with its own world which I think would be better for farming. Something along the lines of Riverhills from Sims 3 with lots of fields etc.

    10 kits = 4.99 x10 which adds up. I don’t mind buying the odd kit that appeals. 10 towards the same theme would seem excessive.

    So I wouldn’t say no completely. Perhaps a kit pack after the EP that could have any missing stuff or additional items that were requested etc.
  • I'm just chiming in because I read this and thought, "I don't want any of this as a kit, make it a larger pack." I see that other people said basically the same thing. I'm fine with the kit concept in a limited capacity for content that would otherwise be left out and that is optional but I wouldn't want to see kits taking content that really should fill a bigger pack.
