I want this so much! Actually it's the kind of pack I want the most next to a University/Education pack. I want chickens, pigs and crops. And lots of new craftables and recipes. And farmer's markets!

I chose living off the grid, as that was my second option during the community stuff pack project, but to be honest, all of those should be in the pack.

It does look like Off the grid is a favourite of theirs as Grant is repeating it as an option again. They've probably got ideas/designs already. I would like a mixed farm myself.
Off the grid sounds like subsistence farming ie: (Wikipedia).. "Subsistence peasants are people who grow what they eat, build their own houses, and live without regularly making purchases in the marketplace."

How about an "urban farm" on top of a large flat topped building. They don't have to be in the country. :)

I just fail to see what 'off the grid' has to do with farming.

It's all about "self sufficiency" It was a very popular subject in the uk after a popular TV comedy show "The Good Life" but most found it too difficult and had to give up! It could be one of the stages in a career progression though maybe?

Well, I voted for the farm animals but I'd really hope something like this comes with a recipe overhaul. I'd like to be able to use fresh eggs or milk in food and not only being able to sell them. Sims could get a 'Farm Fresh' moodlet or such from eating food made with fresh produce. Overall I just miss having to purchase groceries and ingredients like it was Sims 2 & 3 and would love to see that return with a farming pack.

I admit I voted for off the grid because I want more self sufficiency from my sims. But all the options look so good. I wish we could get them all. But I'd rather a couple of things done well then all of them done badly.

I voted for horses. That or off the grid (which I voted once before but they gave us laundry instead *sigh*) are the only things I really care about as horses you can train, ride, etc...and off the grid seems to be good for a new game play challenge.

The rest don't seem all that exciting nor really offer much game play; but of course it would win. :/

It’s funny how differently everyone plays the same game :)

I voted for the animals, because I really have no interest in horses (like absolutely 0 interest, lol! sorry!). Crops was my next choice but with so much gardening in Seasons - I’m afraid it would be giving too much attention to that one aspect of the game.

Off the grid is something I definitely want too, but it’s so vague I feel like it can be implemented in so many ways. Like laundry day with the wash tub alternative, I think the devs should always be thinking about alternatives and can add little features along the way to make an “off the grid” experience.

Anyway, just my thoughts! There are no right or wrong answers. :)

Yeah true. I just feel there is a lack of game play and we really need more of that. Now if there is a lot of game play, then I won't mind it as much. I just see horses more useful personally as there is more opinions such as training horses, riding them and can even use them to pull farm equipment or have horse and buggies.

With animals, I am having a hard time really thinking how much game play it can offer or making it fun and not a chore. Who knows? Maybe we will all be pleasantly surprised and maybe I can finally get the one pack I that I want someday-Rock band/Music pack! Including drums again, allowing to form a band and play at venues, using singing this time as an option front men, pop stars, rappers, etc... ) for bands. Not to mention tons of new cas items, music related objects and, new radio stations (I want punk, goth, emo, classic rock.....plus they can have jazz and so much more. Parents may even be able to sing lullabies).

I an can dream....
