So 10 game changer built lots, plus maybe some extra empty ones? That doesn't seem very big to me at all? Hopefully I'm wrong, I was hoping for at least 14 lots or so.

I would hope that would mean 10 gamechanger lots, at least a couple of EA-created lots, and at least 2 empty lots. (Really, I would hope for at least 3-4 empty lots, but my point is that it would still be pretty easy to get to 14+.)

This may be minor but I'm actually, as a realistic/non occult simmer, most excited about this: The Simple Living Lot Challenge makes cooking cheaper, but it also means recipes depend entirely on what you’ve got in your inventory. Forage in the nearby woods for mushrooms and berries, borrow some milk and eggs from your animals, and keep your garden full. Missing something? Place an order with the local grocery shop and get all your ingredients delivered right to your doorstep. (Don’t forget to tip the delivery person!)

I really missed the realistic grocery system from Sims 2 and I'm looking forward to recreating it for the Sims4! Food is not instantly in our fridges! We have to shop for it/grow it!

The new clothes and build items with animals are also really cute. I saw some books with wooden bunny bookends in the picture on the official blog.

It looks like kids can sew? Or whatever that thing the girl was holding was

that was a embroidery hoop @PlayerSinger2010

I'm not crazy about the new world (so far) Because every new pack I look for ways to add to my apocalypse ? I'll probably use as a vacation world and that's too pretty!! But I'm stoked for everything else!! I do a lot of off the grid play because no electricity in the apocalypse of course lol.
So I can use these animals for resources. The animations are just so darn adorable too??

You guys think kids can cook alongside parents? I noticed they cooking side by side!

Pond tool anyone?! ?
And best of all they did not ?forget? the? little children!?

3 cheers for Agnes!!
I read we can get grocery deliveries. And find coco or something in the woods for chocolate milk.

Still kinda dissapointed there are no horses but maybe next time!!???

MRS. CRUMPLEBOTTOM! And for the fact we can now have chickens, rabbits, I saw two cows and we can sheer the Llama (as one would a sheep). Eggs, a Child Sim at least learning how to cook, certainly she was participating in cooking. And it appears we're getting a new neighborhood World. Once I saw Mrs. Crumplebottom, I got all misty-eyed. I don't think I realized just how much I missed that NPC. She was a hoot in Sims2. I think I understand, now, why I have not been inclined to play my ancestral game save. In some ways, it's as if I have been waiting. I do have a cow in my game thanks to a mod, but I would much rather certain things be 'baked' into the game itself. I will keep the cc harvestable crops, however. So excited! I'm a tad confused though, SimsVIP, suggested a July release, but then also said June 22nd. :O Either way, I'm excited.

Congrats to everyone who wanted this! :) As this is a positivity thread, I'll only say this about my personal opinions: I've never wished for a pack related to farming, so it's actually impossible for me to be disappointed by this one. ;)

I’m in heaven! Waiting till the 22nd of July is going to be torture. It looks so incredible.

My youngest son is getting remarried in July, so my wait won't be as difficult. I'll be very occupied, as it were. ;)
