It would be cool if the generic lots could be put to good use. A Sim family could own a home on one lot. Then, they could purchase adjoining lots for crops and live stock. This way, a family could grow their farms beyond the initial lot.
It would be nice if there were hired hands to work those other plots. The player family could oversee the work each day and make corrections as necessary.
Unfortunately, I don't think that we'll ever see anything like this in TS4. If it's anything like the retail system, work would shut down as soon as the controlled Sim leaves the lot.
It's too bad, though. I haven't had much interest in a farm pack. However, reading the ideas in this thread has broadened my view quite a bit.
