Would anyone else want to see a ranch and farm expansion?

In this expansion would give players the ability to have a horse ranch and/or farm. The ranch would give your sim horse care, horse training, horse breeding, and horse riding skills. A farm would give access to the animal raising, crop raising, and ingredient gathering skills. Horses could learn show-jumping, cross-country, dressage, racing, barrel racing, and rodeo.

At least that's my idea for an expansion like this.
  • Sure!! We’d need really big lots though for that. Also I kinda miss horses.

  • I would love a little bit of the farming elements in the game, not really a fan of horse gameplay since I'd never played TS3.
  • I’m not interested in this sort of gameplay, but I can see how others would be.

    Kinda in-between leaning towards no, but need more than just farming, horses and taking care of animals (much like pets) to be completely sold on it. Looking at some above things I wouldn't mind seeing a mechanical bull item for sure in the game to offer a bit more entertainment outside of just animals and gardening (which we already have. Would need to make more use out of the system for more editables to be used in recipes and such.) Would like to maybe see some line dancing too? Making more use of gardening with canning and the like in making your own preserves.

    Though I only have like maybe two sim families that I have a farm. Dunno if I'd get constant use out of it, but I'd like to see some in-depth stuff for sure.

    Guess some would like a close to living off the grid pack.
  • The only other game I played beside The Sims was Stardew Valley so I would absolutely love a farming expansion with lots of animals and an update to the plants so they look more different and realistic (e.g. the strawberry bush doesn't look like the tomato one IRL) and are cheaper. My Sims get so rich when gardening, it's ridiculous. I would also love if we could use the new ingredients for cooking and canning.

    Not something I desperately need, but I wouldn't say no to it if we got it, especially if it comes with a big new world and new features such as living off the grid. I probably wouldn't have more than one or two families that are actually farmers, but those alone could offer a welcome change in my rotational gameplay every once in a while.
  • Bonus points if it involves nectar making. It could also add more collectibles (mostly plants) and thus more cooking recipes. Also, some fancy farm-style outfits. I don't see horses being a thing in TS4 due to the limited space (no open world) but I think it could still work well.
