- Sims may only use hour-lasting candles or fireflies as their only source of light during nighttime.
Only?
No. They should also have oil lamps (lasts all night before needing a refill), and solar lamps (place the lamp by a window to charge during the day, to provide light at night)
- Sims must use the water well or collect tanks of water from lakes and rivers for their water supply.
What about collecting rain water from their roof (if you have seasons). It's the standard method for non-mains water here.
- There will be no things such as "flushing the toilet" since sims may use "dry-toilets" to release their bladder *yuck*
Composting toilets, pit toilets...
- Sims may only solve their hygiene needs by showering in the rain *will require seasons* or by swimming in the lakes or rivers or by using the well.
The sponge bath needs to return!
- Strictly no phones, TVs, radios and all sorts of electric appliances.
Why? You can get solar versions of many things, solar chargers for phones do exist!
- Clothing style must be kinda *dirty* or *dusty* with muddy or grungy overlays, you get the point.
Only if you don't take care of yourself!
- More cowboy clothings, more clothes similar to Patchy the Scarecrow's outfit.
I'd prefer stockman style.

- Kids may rely on their parents' help to be educated if they decided to not enroll at a proper school.
School of the air should be an option!

- Sheep Farm (Mutton, Wool, and Cotton)
No lamb? Why only old meat?
And why cotton? My parents are sheep farmers, and they certainly don't grow cotton! They don't get enough rain for it!!
- And also dikes, levees, and an irrigation system etc.
Oh gosh... I'm so used to farming country that uses none of that! Crops are planted in fields, and the rain waters them. That's it! If there's not enough rain, then the crops don't grow, and if there's not enough rain for the crops, then there certainly isn't enough rain to use irrigation!
- The climate would have a very great impact on your crops and probably even on the animals eg. droughts will wither your plants and kill some of it.
That's certainly an issue in Australia this year! Farms aren't just having crops fail to grow, the wind is taking away the fertile top soil, meaning that they'll not grow well in the future either.
The farms in the areas of drought are also losing most of their livestock too. It's pretty horrible stuff to live through.
- Cowboy skill
What about jackaroo/jillaroo skill?
- Goats - nevermind these plum
- Ducks -
Goats and ducks are awesome!! And geese are better than ducks. Geese will attack people that they don't like, and can be as effective as a guard dog.
- Oaks
Oak trees? What would you grow them for? You do realise, don't you, that they are very slow growing. They're not something you'd expect to get wood from in your own lifetime.
- Cane
What sort of cane? For furnishing? for sugar?
- Rice
Requires insane amounts of water, and pesticides (unless you use ducks)
