Toddlers playing with trowels, maybe they get to dig in the dirt

Jam/Preserves - I hope they worked with the modder who has the jam mod I no longer need

stuff growing on the vine - pumpkins, egg plants, & melons, wonder if there will be grapes & nectar too


Looks like the pack is an immersive family pack for family players and with lots of pretty assets for builders.

Kinda worried about what Jim Parsons will do

Not sure of the link to the blog is, but Sims community reposted it if you want more details: https://simscommunity.info/2021/06/10/the-sims-blog-breathe-in-the-fresh-countryside-air-with-the-sims-4-cottage-living/

@troshalom I am dubious about how far the cow and llama can roam from their little houses. I believe they probably are tied to them, because I haven't seen any shot where there isn't that little hut in the background. But maybe they can walk all over the property. That would be cool!

I wonder what kind of new landscaping we're getting...

I love this pack so much, like EVERYTHING, THE animals, city CAS BBmode EVERYTHING, i think they easily garant my top best expasion of the sims 4, also pick the place of seasons....

and although I think there would be fairies, by the hints and even the beginning of the trailer, I didn't really care, they could have added what would easily make the best expansion of the sims 4 without any opposing opinion (but I still believe that for me it's the best expansion) . but wow, the trailer and the whole composition made me feel that smell of the sims that I haven't felt for a long time. llamas finally in the franchise, my only sadness is it's only in July.

anyway about fairies i think we will have it sooner than i can think, the amount of farm hints were huge in the previous packs and now fairies seem to appear everywhere. maybe in a gamepack in september? honestly only generations feel that the game is complete. I hope they take a period to update and fix the game's bugs in particular the lag simulation, otherwise I just need more information about the pack :D

I'm actually glad they announced this pack so early. I think the whole farming contingency were going to bust a gasket if this wasn't a farming pack. Happy the chickens are free range, and excited about the LLAMAS.

But come on, where are the DRAGONS ??

Now if they can throw the faith community some love, we can all be happy about representation in the Sims ?.

For real tho, glad the farmers get more assets and animals. One lady on YT posted she gets to hug cows in real life & in game awwww

@GirafHuntr yeah, might cows be tied to the lots. The blog mentions cows on a community lot too.

42 days.. Oh god.. I need to forget about this and remember around july 22 at 17 gmt

Yes, they should all play quite nicely with each other.I think with all the farming and greenery it shouldn't be too hard to get to green level with Eco Lifestyle.
Also Tiny House Stuff may also work well, as far as the tiny lot type. Imagine an adorable micro cottage. Oh, and Nifty Knitting has Plopsy, so you could (hopefully) sell your cross-stitched projects on Plopsy. So many ideas already.

This tweeter mentioned that the large circles in the field resemble Scottish fairy circles

Yikes looks like the Cows and Llamas aren't as free roaming as I initially thought. They are like objects since they are attached to their homes/barns/habitat. But it seems like they may have more room to roam than in TS3

Looks like the world is small, only 12 lots - Sigh I guess we will never see another Windenburgh size world again

Children can cook, but only with another sim not on their own - still better than TS3 where they could only cook with the baking and lemonade stands for children. So this is a bit more realistic way children learn to cook
