Farming?

Considering people will pay money for it, yes.

I think mostly Farms will use items like chicken coops and a new way to sell gardening, and maybe Cows and Sheep will be turned into objects.

The devs have already commented on the demand, and put out little polls for farming on Twitter, so I'd guess yes at some point. Might be a game pack rather than an expansion, but I think something's coming. Plus, they'd have to be crazy not to have noticed the success of Stardew Valley in the last few years, and want to try to get in on that somehow.

Who knows, they've never added one before. But I feel like after the mess of last year they've started listening to players wants more, so it's possible they might add it for those who want it. I'm expecting it to be a game pack if it ever does happen, not enough content for an EP imo.

Probably, but I wonder how much will be in it. Will it have horses, small animals and tractors or will it have none of these things?

Keeping in mind that Gardening is a big chunk of what Frarming's about and we have that down pat. What people want is animals.

I agree that animals is more important than more plants, but I would lovesome feature implying growing larger fields - such as corn mats covering 10x10 or more. If we get a tractor there could even be a way for a farm to own sub fields (extra lots) where we could add the kind of grass/corns etc we want to grow. I think that would look more massive than 10 single plants in two rows in a backyard ;)

EP or GP or SP - well, I can think of content that would hardly get room in an EP. We might be happy with a cow and a sheep, but we could also harvest wool to make yarn (not possible for knitting as we never need to buy that yard we use), cows allows for making butter and cheese. Canning and nectar making, and a farmer's market. They could also add family tribe heirlooms as old farms have often been on the same family's hands for many generations - there could be old secret recipes or secret magical ingredients that can only be obtained through heritage. They could expand on ways to benefit from windmills and water collectors etc. There could be a sales/show off event where you can sell/buy farm animals. And so on... ;)

If they bring farming I hope they add crafting stations that help reduce the amount of vegetables we have while producing something of bigger value. Like the fizzy juice machine, it should have required 2 apples to produce 1 bottle of fizzy apple juice, and 12 apples to produce the 6 bottle pack. My sim has 70 apples and it's going to take forever to turn them all into fizzy juice and then try to sell them as juice with the current setup of 5 apples producing 6 bottle of juice. There isn't much apple juice in those drinks if you ask me.
Also, I don't want large farms as it takes forever to go from one end of the lot to the other. Instead of a tractor maybe we could get a smaller machine, more suitable to a smaller farm.

The sims would really benefit from a better farm to table path. There needs to be a farm to store sale option. It takes so long to tend produce that there is no time for a farmer to also sell that produce. These are two different stages but there is no good link between the two. A bulk farm purchase option, for a store to gain access to produce would be wonderful. From the store, produce can be purchased to produce other goods.

I'm not sure, but it seems like a lot of people want it. If there's any, I can see that they might added the farm animals. However, I'm not sure if they want to take a risk on that one too, considering it can be a sensitive topic to some. Perhaps, they might just added horse & other farm activities like the farmer's market, cheese making, milk, etc. or even a new farming system like hydroponic since we already have gardening skill.
