A way to make farming less time-consuming. My god, if you have more than one animal and some crops, you can kiss your social life goodbye. Just in my last in-game day, my Sim got up at 3am, and wasn't done until 7pm that night.
Cows, chickens and llamas should all be able to graze. I've had chickens IRL, they dig up your garden looking for beetles and worms. Chicken feed is nice to have as a backup, but they're actually pretty self-sufficient animals.
Maybe feeding animals could've been limited to a water trough, maybe seed for the chickens and bales of hay for the llama/cow, but only as a backup in case they're not placed on grass (or if it's snowing) and can't graze. Even then, the water trough could be replaced by simply having a pond nearby.
