I voted for animals but I regret it. Not because I wouldn’t want animals but because that vote is so popular! It’s too hard to choose between animals, crops and off the grid!

Nectar making, fruit stands, vegetable varieties, wool could mean knitting or other arts and crafts, solar panels, old wells, compost, tractors, and all the rest. :D

I could see it having some nice rustic vibes and dingy old machines. It’d be lovely.

If i had a twitter id vote for raising the cows, chickens, pigs cause i can see where that could be a lot of fun. However i wouldnt be surprised if none of these farming ideas ever come to be. Just the mention of certain subjects has seemed to cause a lot of controversy. So i wouldnt be surprised if the devs didnt choose to avoid this subject like the plague :/ i hope they don't though.

I wouldn’t say it caused a “controversy” just got a few fired up. Beside the patch in the past where you can make a female sim impregnate another woman and pee standing up really did cause a controversy. They didn’t remove it even after that. People just have to live with it. In the end this is a game where males can also get impregnated by aliens. There’s really no logic here at times.

It is really hard to say what they actually will or won't do. Something people will always be divided on a subject no matter what; but that also won't necessary mean it won't be added into the game either if people want it enough. Sometimes I think they just need to take risks as that is always part of running businesses (risks can either pay off big time or end up being disasterous). You can't please everyone; so sometimes they just have to go with a decision.

Personally I rather take a music related game pack at least while others want farming, university, etc...sometimes we win as we are able to get what we want plus more and sometimes we lose and what we want just never happens. If enough people wanted farming enough to even warrant a poll, I say it is a good possibility still for those that do want it at least as it shows that it caught their attention.

Yaaay :D glad they're doing a poll on this, means it's at least a possibility! I voted for the cows / chickens / pigs but I really want all of it minus the horses (not that I'd mind horses, I just don't miss them ^^). And a farmer's market plum! ^^

Yep. Canning, butter churning and wool spinning in "living off the grid" and as a result of raising livestock new crops. This could be an impressive EP.
I don't see enough room to really do anything with horses. Crops will be pushing it unless they include a new world with larger residential lots.

OMG i forgot about nectar making!!!! by far my favorite thing about Paris in the sims 3

Although I love animals (and juicy steaks), I've always liked growing crops more in farming games. It's sad that option is the least popular in the poll. I too would like to preserve and can food though.

I don’t care so much about the off the grid piece but everything else I would love/be cool with. Raising animals or horses would be my top pic just because they’re more fresh/new. We already have raising crops sort of (you can raise some fruits and veggies but I’d be happy to see things like corn, wheat, crops that are common where I live) but we don’t have horses or farm animals to raise. We have had horses in TS3 but I’d love to see them back in 4.

I'd be happy if they just gave us the basic trio of chickens, cows and sheep for eggs, milk and wool Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons style. Then they could give a new sewing skill to make use of the wool, and a new small town like forgotten hollow to give us some extra farmland. If they put that in a game pack I would definitely buy it.

i guess farm pack should have all of this options

I don't see why they can't add all of those if their going to do a farming pack. Farms raise cattle, grow crops, and have horses. My grandpa was a farmer and had all these on his farm.
