I like it more than I thought. I really love the store stalls. We should've had a market a long time ago. What would I change?1. Rabbits shouldn't be able to go in locked fences. This is the biggest thing that could be changed for me. You can scare them, but I wouldn't have to if they couldn't come in.2. Of course I don't like the cows/llamas tied to the sheds/unbreedable/only 1 per shed.3. More than one 64x64. I had expected larger lots for something like this.4. No electric fence.I haven't tried the llamas/embroidery stuff yet, so I don't know how that is. It is a pretty countryside aside from having smaller lots than should be on a farming type pack. I like how the different fences connect. I like many of the animal interactions. I haven't tried putting multi sheds together yet. I did notice the truck on one of the places and it is real nice. I wish we could drive it. Hopefully, it means vehicles are coming. Not crazy about the small lots, no electric fences, and tied animals, but aside from that, I actually like the pack. I wonder if we will ever get tractors, pigs/goats/other animals, electric fences( they missed a huge opportunity to put these in and seeing sims shocked/death by electric current ect.). Do we even have corn in the game? Maybe they will add some type of petting zoo and add them.

I would change so that the cows can wander away like the chicks and rabbits can. They only move about in their little square. ;)

For me:More than one animal per shed and option to breedWheat harvestable so we can make everything ourselves and we don't have to buy animal feed, flour and sugar.

That I had it now and not have to wait for courier next week. :( But I saved money which will go to buying Designer when its on sale so its all good. Sort of. But I really want to play in the countryside. Sigh.

There should be premade mid priced family houses available in HoB. My family of four (+ cat) had to move to a tiny starter home because there weren't any suitable homes for them. There was only one but it was 103 000 Simoleons and it was too expensive.I can't build, so my Sims are in trouble. They used to live in a spacious premade house in Evergreen Harbor and I'm starting to regret that I moved them. It seems that families have been forgotten when they made premade houses. :/

I haven't played with the larger animals yet but I'm enjoying the chickens. I wish they'd given us a 2 seat sofa to match the armchair with the gorgeous floral swatch.

For me:

That the suggestion of using the cow plant for plant milk had been used.

Sheep

After creating a pond, or anything with the water tool, if you want to fish you can just choose what fish to stock without having your sim needing to know about fish first to stock the pond with.

Seeing as how I've only built so far, I would add plain swatches to the wallpaper, and more swatches to the wood flooring. Also, I would have liked windows for medium wall height as well.

Edit: Also, I would make the Gnome's Arms pub face the right way in map view. It shows the back of the build.

I really like the pack, and don't like to be negative but the animation sequence for interacting with the new objects like the chickens, cow, birds etc makes me a little disappointed. I will not use those objects as much as I thought I would because it is a bit embarrassing to look at, sadly. Gestures are reused, and they are too simple and without charm - it is a video game after all and the animations makes it worth looking at. The voice when talking to chickens is the same as the vendor cry-out, which makes my skin itch.

I haven't bought the pack yet, as I'd been slowly sliding off the fence about it for various reasons (the primary one being a distinct lack of interest in farming type activities). And now that I know that it includes some immortal sims, ones that I never wanted and were unnecessary in the first place, I'm thinking that just may be the final straw for me. It's a shame, because I did sort of want the world itself.

Different shed design so we can stack them in a line - just like terrace houses.
