I just saw this on twitter and had my wig snatched. I've been wanting for a farming expansion for almost two years already so this made me so happy.https://twitter.com/Pixelade/status/1138487305759526913And let's not all forgot that SimGuruGrant's twitter poll hyping a farming expansion.https://twitter.com/SimGuruGrant/status/1006202854829199360Plus, look at all those chickens, they look better than we what we had in the sims 3. No shade to my superior sims game but this honestly just looks amazing to me.EDIT: And as for when I believe it'd come. I do think it would come in November aka EP 8. When a second ep was announced last year after seasons, we immediately screamed for university but get famous was released instead. EDIT 2: There's also an Off-The-Grid lot trait coming with the June Patch, I was shookt the we'll be getting this lot trait so soon and thought this may have come with a Farming expansion.EDIT 3: And I've already seen a lot of farming hints in the latest packs. In Seasons, there's a painting that features a barnyard in all seasons. There's also a 'cowboy/rancher riding on a horse' painting in StrangerVille. I'm also hearing a lot of chicken noises in some of the worlds and in CAS.

If they do a farming expansion before university....that'll beat all. As far as the hints and clues, it is very obvious by now that they do drop them. Despite the couple who want to claim that they don't. It was no coincidence that there was a seasonal calendar in Cats and dogs. It was no coincidence when they had the boat parked in a driveway in Get Famous. And I believe it is no coincidence that College Cram came with movie stuff. I believe they have been working on a University or back to school pack for several years now. Edit: And as far as a farming pack goes, I have no interest in one. But I will buy every pack released for Sims 4, there is always something nice in each pack.

Im all for it as long as there are horses in it

Slightly veering off topic, but why is it that sims 3 fans always have to call sims 3 superior? At the same time that they continue to buy new packs for sims 4? If sims 3 is so clearly superior, why is it that you even waste money on Sims 4?

We play Sims 3 cuz it offers more immersion and stuffs to keep us busy and entertained for a long period of time and also play Sims 4 for the updated graphics and the community. But we'd still prefer Sims 3 and Sims 2 over Sims 4. Simple as that.

Farming Expansion Hints in Island Living

I know lots of people have said they aren't keen on farming, and that's more than fair. I come from a rural area and really want it, and not to be just looking after animals, growing crops, but to have some of the socialising that people in the country do, the Young Farmer groups, the social events etc.

To those not keen, perhaps when you see it (here's hoping it will come soon) you will feel differently. I really did not look forward to an island pack and each time people said it was their favourite I truly hoped it would come after farming but now I have seen the previews of IL I cannot wait to get my hands on it. The island looks so beautiful, the Build Buy objects look fantastic and the mermaids, who were also not high on my list, look absolutely amazing.

I love Sims 3 but I love Sims 4 as well for different reasons. I don't care which pack comes first, farming or Uni but I think that Farming would probably be best done as a game pack. Uni, of course is a huge undertaking and will have to be an expansion. I think the hints are valid, they are ubiquitous, obvious and a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But I am excited to see them in Sims 4 and hoping our farming expansion with include horses :) (I've mentioned horses too many times on this forum already)

I was just going to mention Hawaii! Lol there really are chickens everywhere! I saw a bunch of chickens in the parking lot at Waimea bay and I was like what? :D

It gives more sims something to do and quite honestly, farming sounds so boring. They would really have to go all out to make it appeal to more people.

Raise, breed and care for various types of farm animals that are as interactive as the dolphin from Island Living! Possibilities include cows, chickens, sheep, llamas, goats
Making nectar (Wine) from fruits your Sim has grown on the farm
Farmer‘s market with livestock competitions and a mechanical rodeo bull!
Horses that can be ridden or trained and owned as pets! A new riding skill!
Unicorns!
Turn animal produce like milk into butter using butter churn or wool into yarn using spinning wheel!
Canning - can fruits and vegetables so that you have something to eat in winter!
Homeschooling for kids!
Tractors!
Haystack WooHoo - have fun in a pile of hay like in Sims 3: Pets!
Barn doors
Rocking chairs!
New side jobs for farmers like delivering 6 eggs to your neighbor (odd jobs) or part-time job as riding teacher
Expand Off The Grid - add functional water pumps, windmills, generators or solar panels that makes your Sim produce their own water or electricity and have the possibility to break

Yup obvious hinting .I will be on the lookout for some more.

> Yeah, farming is just going to be more chore style gameplay. Feed animals, groom animals, clean up after animals. I'm starting to realize that I have nothing in common with the majority of "simmers".

For me, University was/is the chore.
Send sim(s) to class, write term paper/essay/project, repeat for a game week, send sim to exam, repeat the first two for another week, send sim to exam, repeat the process 4 times until the sim finally graduates and goes to the families folder to await a home of their own or be moved back in with folks.
IF they do University again, I would want it more streamlined, the whole higher education process taking just 8 game days. OR, just like in our modern day, they could have the option to take their college courses online and so study at home while working and going about their day with their family. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to a farming expansion pack over a higher education (college/university) expansion pack myself. Especially if I get my horses, chickens, and cows back and possibly add sheep, goats, ducks, geese, and alpaca/llama. As much as I would also want unicorns back, with a farming expansion I'd assume I'd have to wait for an appropriate expansion pack for them as well similarly magical/mythical pegasi, winged unicorns, dragons, firebirds, and gryphons.

Im not an animal lover. So I dont care for a farming pack.

There was also a calendar behind the bar in Strangerville with a tropical photograph on it.
