- I'm at a loss of what it could be. I have gripes about anything camping/fairies unless they do something to compliment Outdoor Retreat/Realm of Magic to go alongside it.
Farming is definately needed to make gardening more immersive but I don't see the link with "Bond with Nature".
This hasn't been acknowledged much in the forums but maybe we could be seeing a return of Plantsims with improvements. Plantsims fit more into the concept of nature after all! - Bond with Nature in this FARMING/CHARMING expansion pack!! I really hope it is no coincidence that they chose to use a word that rhymes with farming! I am getting hyped so much to learn about that expansion. Outdoorsy and nature activities are my favorite thing to do in this game since it has such gorgeous graphics!
- I can't even imagine what it could be.
I do not think it's "wildlife" just because it'll demand tones of animations and knowing 1)the quality of current wildlife models (birds, lizards, squirrels etc.) 2) how they always try to cut costs on animations I do not think wildlife can happen.
I do not think it's "farming" 'cause pretty much it's to good to be true and "bonding with nature" doesn't scream farming to me.
I feel it could be something to deal with faeries and possibly plantsims but in this case I really hope they'll include Unicorn (and horses)... - If it's an occult pack I think the team will add in either Werewolves or Fairies.
It could be a continuation of Eco Lifestyle with more "green" interactions. With the ability to live in a cottage in the woods with more off the grid items and options.
When I think of country living I think farming and or nectar making alongside other clues we have been given to what the new pack might be. I would think more nature reserves than country living for getting in touch with nature. Where I live we have nature reserves throughout the area where I live especially in our cities. So you are never too far from going hiking in the woods.
It could be something Native American finally added into the game. It would be fair and politically correct if that were the case to officially have Native Americans/Canada's First People representation finally in the game. In my area, we have educational public powwows throughout the summer. If that is the case I'll be dancing my little heart out (Traditional Native American Dancing not banned by the US Government) in the courtyard of the apartment complex where I live in celebration. - ^ It'd be an extreme kind of bond.
That said, I struggle to connect Werewolves with anything "charming."
Then I remind myself, it IS Sims 4. - For those who are questioning Werewolves bonding to nature, I suggest you look up the TTRPG "Werewolf: The Apocalypse" (Werewolf: the Forsaken has similar themes) which presents Werewolves as the (very violent) guardians of the Natural World, fighting against pollution and Urban Expansion, among other evils.
So I can very definitely see Werewolves as bonding to Nature
But I don't see them as being particularly charming. :) "NightwalkerArkanis;c-17883999" wrote:

I can imagine the quaint little village and countryside these werewolves will wreak havoc on to be quite charming..."liipeabreu;c-17883806" wrote:
I think it will be a fantasy realm like fairytales, with some castles and medieval stuff, and we will have fairies and maybe werewolves in it
I really hope you're right. I don't think you are, but I hope you are. That's definitely a pack I want. (Like I said, I really want to build a Disney save, and having more tools to build medieval stuff, werewolves, and faeries would help a ton.)
We've never had two occults in an EP before. And EPs generally try to introduce some new gameplay element that can be used with any sims (though they might have to go to a specific neighborhood to do it), and I'm just not sure what that might be for a medieval EP. EDIT: Okay, horses would do it. But then I'm not sure what a horses + medieval + werewolves &/or fairies pack would have to do with bonding with nature"CAPTAIN_NXR7;c-17884277" wrote:

If they give us more old style options for building my secluded village, I'd be even more for it.
Bolded: I wish. The idea of actually having to reinforce your house, door and windows when the fullmoon approaches, and your civilian Sims being forced to hide from the unplayed feral Werewolves... oh, well.- When thinking of "bonding with nature", farming does not come to mind. Much less werewolves. I'm thinking Outdoor Retreat but with more nature related activities. Think cottage core stuff, mushroom picking, preserves, canoeing, gardening, trails, wild animals, etc.
