Bond with nature in this charming expansion pack means...

Pets aren’t completely exclusive to Brindleton Bay. We have lot traits that will bring pets elsewhere.... I’m kind of glad we don’t see sick pets everywhere. Also there are cats in the jungle adventure town. And you can live anywhere and own a cat or dog.

I desperately want a farming pack so I'm crossing my fingers for that! The kind of bonding I want to do with nature is more gardening, growing crops, raising animals, more off the grid stuff to live off the land, etc.

I really think we should move away from restrictions like these.

Pets bound to one specific world was a stupid idea to begin with imo.

I think players should decide how and what they want to do with the content.

Pets aren't exclusive to Brindleton Bay though, are they? You can have pets in any world. The strays only really hang out in that world, but even that can be applied to any house with Cat/Dog Hangout. I think having one world where horses roam free makes sense. It doesn't mean you can't keep a horse on a lot elsewhere (hopefully).

That's what I meant, maybe I should have stated that better.

Strays roaming around in all worlds. Not that you cannot have pets in other worlds.

Yes, you can do that with lot traits, but in my opinion having to add a lot trait to do that is just unnecessary.

But in the end: Different people, different opinions.

We'll see. I never been too much into horses and farming, but who knows, maybe this might actually be a nice pack.

I just hope they introduce a chicken coop. And a lot of ''rustic/homey'' furniture too. I like modern, but I think we have enough modern stuff in the game now.

I'm of the opinion that IF it is farming, it will be more on the scale of homesteading/smallholding that can conventionally fit in a sim's back garden (ie, no large scale industrial farming equipment), so a focus on self sustainability and crafts such as preserve making, cheesemaking, crafting and repairing clothes, and raising small animals such as chickens, maybe a goat or llama, even pigs and hunting if they are willing to go there. (Gardening is already way too OP in the game to even consider farming crops). A more country or backwoods living pack rather than a Kansas simulator.

But it could also be wilderness survival, or a naturalist science approach to nature such as studying jungle or ocean biomes, or any other number of outdoor activities.

That tent also comes in a space rocket design. Maybe it's bonding with nature but on an alien planet. Like a whole new world instead of the space bar and many new plants and furniture and customs, etc? And aliens get their own world where they don't have to hide and you have to bond with them.

Stop it! You’re going to make me cry. This sounds amazing!

I'm thinking it could be an eco safari pack. It also could possibly be farming.

Meh, outdoor retreat was a bit boring in the early days. Jungle Adventure was fun. I'm thinking this will expand on that. I'm guessing it could be something like a South African theme which could include wineries.

Thinking about it this could be a kind of forest like world possibly related to Outdoors retreat with log cabins (for houses or holiday rentals) and camping outdoor life shops and nymphs (like a fairy that protects trees) in the woods it could be the town of Granite Falls do you think this is a possibility

I’d love a small town America (don’t hate me) mountain town with proper hiking trails, mountain biking, natural springs in the forest etc (think Dante’s Peak) but I feel like I’ve just described the features of Snowy Escape in the Summertime! An epic volcanic eruption that decimates the entire town would certainly make this pack unique though....

I actually really hope they do a non-American world. I know we have some but so many cool cultures are still missing, that I would love to have in my game! ?
