Farming, Medieval, and werewolves

It could work. Say your farm is set in medieval times. You would have sheep or some other animals. Wolves were scarry to people back then, well one could come by at night like vampires to raid your chicken house or steal a sheep. But what if it's a near by neighboring farmer? A werewolf? not just a hungry wolf? You could have a spinning wheel and loom instead of a sewing machine. Your Sim could make lots of stuff with those, clothes, curtains, blankets, rugs, covers, whatever. And sewing by hand was still a thing, if you had the threads. Rupkelstilcuns could be a supernatural in the game causing havoc to your Sims, and farms and your spinning wheels. :D (Need threads? have to strike a deal with him) >:)

I don't like it at all. Reason is farming wouldn't be focused on farming. They don't put as much to do in EPs as they did in Sims3. I want to shake my head everytime a simmer tries to add that many concepts to a pack, because Cats & Dogs and the Supernaturals being split shows us that this won't be the case. Not on the subject of the fact that they are more fleshed out that way, but staying on subject, I am talking about amount of content as you are trying to cram major ideas into one pack. They won't do it. If they did put another theme with farming besides off the grid, then we wouldn't be getting the stuff really needed for farming, which will be horrible because they probably will never revisit the subject again. I cringe everytime someone tries to add horses or wolves to Farming. Oxen ran plows and I don't see them making plows or buggies for horses, so they add nothing to crops and give nothing to sell. Off the grid, I can see. Horses should have their own pack with unicorns and Pegasus. Wolves should either be their own pack or paired with several in a larger pack. If we were to get a midevil pack, I would rather it be it's own pack as well for the same reason. Two huge ideas like that and neither would be fleshed out and they may never get back to them again with so much other content missing. The ideas are nice, but hopefully will be done separately to flesh them out.

I would totally support this. Love Werewolves, love medieval, don't really care about farming, but in this context it would make complete sense and I'd probably use it.

This could be fun! I mostly want anthropomorphic animals, so my ideal werewolves would just be cute humanoid doggies.

I'd be okay with werewolves (even if they came in a Farming pack, which I have very little interest in) as long as they look natural. Fairies are much higher up on my wants list. And frankly, I don't really think The Sims 4 needs anything Medieval. I mean, there's a whole Sims game dedicated to it already (The Sims Medieval, find it on Origin if you're interested I guess). I wouldn't mind body hair either, as long as it's optional and won't randomly appear on townies.

Except that sims medieval is a very different kind of game and by this logic you could easily say "if you want that kind of playstyle there's a whole game dedicated to it already (the sims 1-2-3, find it on Origin or your console if you're interested I guess)

Werewolves were a big deal around the medieval ages, so were vampires and so were witches, it would make more sense to include them in that sort of pack or expansion than a farming pack if they were to separate them.

I have Sims Medieval, but it did not seem like a sims sandbox game to me at all.

Nope, do not want "werewolves" tainting the farming pack I've been dying for lol They should release that separately since they're against toggling things. I also dont want midievel tainting it either. I want a country world with more modern farm houses and ranches not a mideival peasant village. Windenburg and its Tudor style houses and German name already make things look awkward and would already be good for midieval play

They'll probably put Werewolves as a Gamepack. Hopefully bringing back Moonlight Falls.
Farming would be perfect with Medieval.

I don’t think of Windenburg in that way. But I will admit it is my favorite land, I love the style of houses and the land itself. I do look at it as a historic land, but not medieval. I too really want a farm pack, I have been wanting one since the sims 2. I gave up on 3 early because of all the rabbit holes and crashes. I’m not a supernatural player ( except for witches). but the way Maxis has been doing supernaturals lately does not bother me, and I really want them to add body hair. But, whatever the farming pack is, I hope they do a great job on it!

I would like to see some farming/ranch-like stuff so that they can include horses and farm animals. It could make for something fresh and new. I'm also always down for medieval things too because I much prefer a primitive style of game-play (I always remove technology stuff like computers or TV because it's all my sims ever do and it annoys me). Island life thing kind of helped with their off-the grid lot trait, which I really like.

So medieval stuff would definitely be interesting. And I like the idea of werewolves so that vampires could have a counterpart.
