If a farming expansion pack would be made what would you like to see in it?

Since the twitter poll on farming that the gurus put out last year shows most people are interested in raising animals, we also need a reason to do so. So I'm with others here; we need to be able to use what we harvest from the animals in creative ways.

Cow > milk > butter/cheese > new recipes.
Sheep > wool > knitting/sewing.
Chickens > eggs > new recipes.
New crops > canning/nectar making/new recipes.

I personally would also be fine with 'trading' in animals for meat. Otherwise I don't see a lot of reasons to include pigs. I know they can be used to find truffles, but how many people realistically eat truffles on a regular basis? We already have meat in the game and it would be nice to have the ability to raise/grow everything you might need for a recipe.

To expand on this idea, I'd love to see a overhaul on the cooking skill. No more creating recipes without the proper ingredients. Add the ability to buy ingredients through the fridge (or even better add grocery stores) for those who don't want to go to the trouble of growing their own. It would just add more realism and challenge to the game for those who want it.

In addition a farmers market where we can than take what we've made/grown and sell it would also be awesome.

I'd like to see a nice county world with a couple of neighborhoods, one being a small town with a bar and open area for a farmers market, and the other being open country with 4 or 5 large lots to start a farm.

I hope too that they continue to expand the living off the grid trait with more ways of getting water and electricity via a well and windmill/solar panels (although I hope they patch in free versions as well).

i dont think it would be an expansion, but more of a game pack or stuff pack, i would like to see more fruits, vegetables, flowers. rustic, country styled stuff, and this is a bit of a reach for the sims 4, but possibly horses?

This,
also sheep, and sewing machine that you can make clothes, stuffed animals, and rag dolls with. Needlepoint and a Rocker would be great too (separately, so the rocker can be used by anyone).
There should be a modern sewing machine, and an old fashioned one.

I agree.
Sheep and both types of sawing machine.

Definitely got to get a county fair in there. Pumpkin pies and caramel apples! I'd like it if dogs got a herding skill they could do! I'd also like to see a new neighborhood, I'm always running out of space for my sims!

Oh my god, Solar panels! I forgot all about those. We used to put them on our Sims houses to save on bills... What sims was that? 2?

I would like to be able to feed ducks in a pond and I like the fair idea with a petting zoo and carnival rides. That said this post will probably get moved to the ideas or speculation section since it's about expansion packs in a Stuff Pack section.

the only thing that would make a farming pack interesting to me would be animals, cows, horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, chickens...and have more than 2-3 interactions for them not only "feed" and "milk/sheer/collect egg" but also be able to talk to them, pet them, name them and ride them (horses and donkeys, oh I would really LOVE donkeys!!!).
And being able to breed them too.
have it work with the pets EP so dogs can be trained as sheperd dogs.

All I care is the animals are detailed and there is a lot of interactions and activities to do with them beyond feed milk collect and sheer.

A farming expansion could have many things what would you like to see in it.

I like a lot of the ideas shared here already. I was just thinking the other day how much I miss horses in the Sims would be nice to have them in Sims 4.

I think everyone's covered the crops and animals. I really want a water wheel and detached windmill to put on my country builds. There's a water wheel sitting in the countryside of Windenburg and I was so disappointed when it didn't show up in debug.

I want some roadside produce stands to sell my crops.

I want a setting under game play for food ingredients like there is a setting for weather. I would like to have a save where households are required to have the right ingredients to cook a meal. Modders have tried but they say it messes up restaurants and butlers.
