canning which is pretty clearly just herbalism recycled, cross stitching is blatantly just knitting recycled

Kind of, yes. But... people have been asking for canning and asking for cross stitching, and they gave them to us.

I'm not sure there would have been any logical way to make either of them that didn't recycle a bit from previous skills, and I'd still much rather have them than not.

That's true, but it doesn't really give a good impression on the pack when a quarter of the trailer is spent showing off recycled content

I understand what you're saying. But on the other hand, all food is recycled content in one sense, but I still love getting new recipes in every pack. All clothes are recycled content in a sense, but people anxiously await the CAS reveals. We already have chairs and tables and ovens and beds, etc., but that doesn't make me any less curious about what new styles we will get for each pack.

That's not to say I don't also want entirely brand new content. But I feel like this pack delivers on that pretty well. The chickens, cows, and llamas alone are completely new gameplay; it may not be gameplay that's interesting to you, but it is new.

That archway gives me nightmares, it looks like a black hole.

I really think that they should have put a door on that shed that closes and open on its own kinda like how the doors work in the game.

I'm super happy about the Fox-B-Gone alarm, I don't necessarily want to be contending with foxes going at my chicken coops all the time so I'm glad we have an option for alarms to take care of that when they come around.... my sims are going to be way too busy with other things in this pack.

And I love how they nicknamed Henford on Bagley as "The HoB". A hob is also a British term for a countertop cooker (and also a stovetop in the counter), which is something we just got in the DHD game pack prior to this EP. So well played dev team, well played indeed! :D

Maxis even teased cars in the trailer. There was a pickup truck parked on one of the lots.

There is also a pickup on the soil field next to the large lot in Old New Henford (all to the left). Perhaps it was the same lot, I'll have to watch the trailer again a few more times tomorrow :)

i can't wait so excited for this pack :)

I noticed in the trailer there is a Gazebo at the ruins area with a bench in it. I also saw a green arch there. Also the ruins are close to the river.

The fox alarm is such a creative way of getting rid of an aspect you might not want while not having to completely get rid of foxes nor simply select an option in settings - really like that attention to detail. It'll also be a fun scare whenever the alarm goes off out of no where :D

Heh heh. I'm visualizing our sims getting woken up at 2am from the fox alarm, a half-sleepy sim stumbling down the stairs, and running outside chasing after the fox in their housecoat and slippers waving their fists in the air. :D
