Just in: The first letter of the title and each line spells Henford on Bagley. I suspect there's going to be hens and little chicks. But, I don't think I have ever been right with the speculation. :D Edited to say: Vineyards and nectar making. Yeah. I'm going with that as well.

I'm quite good with lexical fields. If this poem contains hints, here is what I can quickly notice.
"fateful jaws, moments dark, defends/fights" - could point to werewolves, or could just be a cheeky reference to Agnes Crumplebottom ; references an enemy/ a difficulty
"newly hatched" - chickens, or birds ; the circle of life in general ; I won't go as far as to say it could reference babies in general
"take stock, guide" - livestock ; herd ; herd keeper ; protector (of nature ?)
"lark" - nature (bird)
"persist" - could be a reference to nature as well ; sustainability
"witty" and lots of "heart" references - could point to fairies or mystical beneficient creatures
E.T.A : the "heart" references and the whole theme of the poem (friendship) could reference new romantic and friendly interactions.- Call me crazy, but I think this Henford-on-Bagley might also include some kind of flower show that goes alongside the flower stall/markets? The infamous Chelsea Flower Show in the UK (one of the most famous and well known flower shows in the world - even the royal family goes to this thing) happens every spring in the month of May (if memory serves).
Bond with nature.....? A quaint little British cottage town with flower markets/stalls and competing in flower shows. And where Agnes Crumplebottom goes around making sure that everyone maintains the puritan morals of a Jane Austin novel? Corsets, bonnets, and Mr. Darcy notwithstanding....

I was thinking that too. It wouldn't take much to bring them back and add a magical bit to the game. I'd rather it was another type of occult though.
They could bring in some gardening gnomes to help with a market garden, rather on same lines as the little robots from University."Reedfish;c-17903254" wrote:
Henford on Bagley definitely sounds like a British name. And I agree - we already have a lot of western worlds, but aside from the English neighbourhood in Get Together and Britchester which isn't that British, there isn't a lot of English culture. Obviously not all English culture is little villages and the countryside, but still - as an English person, I'm excited to see what they do :) And I hope it is the farming pack, finally. I just want some way to live off the land. If you can get rid of your smartphone as well, that would be amazing.
Zero has a mod for that. It seems to me that it will have to do with a way of living more than anything, it will not be so focused on agriculture but on living off the land, connecting with the animals that give us food ... Selling our fruits / vegetables and other harvested food at stalls .
I remember Agnes wanted to have children and I think there was an empty crib ... am I right? will it be some kind of message? Agnes could represent the desire to have real babies as fans ask, although I know it is very elaborate to think about. It only occurred to me yesterday while watching the news.
My understanding is that the gnomes on the back of the postcard are crop and farm protectors in Norse / Scandinavian culture.- Not being brit, but something the brits are very famous for is their passion for gardening. Bedides that I have quit a few Sims who could do with a slap from a handbag

We love our gardens most of us, and the fences which we put around them guarding our property to the very inch. So if you build a British house you should put a fence round the back of it, though now many front gardens have become paved for cars in towns.
When you have a row of houses one fence is your responsibility, say on the right side and this carries on all the way down the row. I could well imagine Mrs Crumplebottom having a fight with a next door neighbour over who is responsible for mending a fence. She'd probably use a spade, not a handbag! Not possible in this iteration though.- I imagine the stall would just be a reskinned selling table, except maybe built with shelves and baskets so you can see various produce you've put in it. There's probably other stalls to buy fruits and vegetables, run by townies.
- Ok, I'm now seeing this as a Highlander Brigadoon world.

Most of those have zero to do with nature. It could be farming, wildlife, zoo, or safari. Nature usually refers to animals or scenery. I just hope it is good.
I've been begging for zoos and aquarium exibits since TS3.
Those would be nice, just not in a farming pack. I miss collecting and aquariums from the Sims3. Woodland animals such as deer, rabbits, foxes, ect. would be nice in a petting zoo type pack. Real aquarium stuff, the huge aquarium sims can go in (from the Sims 1? is it?), and such would make a neat stuff pack for a huge aquarium place for our sims to pay and visit. A zoo and safari world of perhaps Africa would make a neat EP if only we got 2 a year instead. I miss the steady stream of content in the Sims 3. They should have an extra team just for this."davina1221;c-17904573" wrote:

I would be into an African safari pack as well. I actually thought that might be what we're getting but I like the English village theme. I could see them doing an African world theme at some point.
