I'd rather see horses/Pegasus, uinicorn, & centaur get their own horsey pack with stick horsey for kids. Miniature horses that never grow. With all the horse breeds, racing, and actions, it could easily have a game pack by itself. I want Farming to be fleshed out with machines and real work. If there isn't a buggy/carriage or plow, then horses really don't have anything to do with farming. With farm animals that you get supplies from, things you can do with those supplies(making stuff), fences- electric/barbwire/board with x/falling down stick fence, harvestables, rag dolly, antiques, machines, sprinklers, pre-made barn/build/buy barn parts with spaces you can put supplies or stack till there's no more room. Hopefully not inflated with CAS to the point of limiting the stuff I just mentioned. B) :p <3

They could do barrel racing, rodeo stuff and or others things having to do with horses. I want to see chickens, pigs, cows, goats and sheep in a farm pack. More crops like corn, grain, hay, etc. I want the animals to be able to reproduce, to be able to sell them, to use as meat, and also to produce things like eggs, milk, have a butter churn, a canning station, farm implements, a tractor, and I would love to see a sewing machine in this pack..... an old one and a newer one....maybe wool from the sheep, or a cotton crop could be used for fabric. This would also be a good place to include off the grid stuff if you want. I would love to see a farm pack!

I absolutely agree with the first two posts and have said basically the same thing on other threads when this comes up. Many people who live in a rural lifestyle do use and have horses but they aren't integral to running a farm. If they add them in a farm pack either they and their activities will be lacking or other aspects of actual farm life will be.

Horses are not something that can be done in a game pack. They’re way over a game pack’s budget.

Horses just has too much to add with it and would really hurt a farming EP. Farming isn't about racing ect., it is about making a living off the land & animals & getting produce from animals.

Horses have next to nothing to do with farming as in crops and supplies. We don't have cars ect. so carriages wouldn't be viable. They could be used for the plow, but that could be added in if you have the Farming EP. It isn't as if they haven't done that already/put things in if you have so and so pack. Also, for those who do love horses, they would be cheated. CAS would be huge for them, their actions, their supplies, and the jumping ect. they do. It would be way too much for a Farming EP and would bloat it with unrelated stuff. I'm not a horsey person, although I grew up riding them, but if they had the supernatural horses then it would be a have to have EP.

I know the animations would be way too much for a pack. :) It’s not just making animations. The amount of engineering work is also too much for a game pack. A simple example would be routing. For instance human Sims, cats, and dogs can all turn their bodies around at any place to walk the other way. For horses this isn’t always possible due to space constraints and new routing logic is needed for them. Horses have a lot of these unique behaviors that require significant engineering work.

Please don't add horses to a Farming EP

If they give us farming, please give us a world with large lots, no 20x30 lots, PLEASE!

I would love to have small off the grid kind of farms. For a small family that just likes that kind of lifestyle. It should be a good mix of both, a bigger amount of big lots but also some small ones for different type of playstyles.
It should always be about options.

Well, it looks like farming could potentially be the theme of the next pack with the recent teaser that came out. It showed a scarecrow.

It looks like Seasons to me. =/

If you befriend the Scarecrow, he'll be a gardener.

I meant EP pack. I know the animations would be way too much for a pack. :) I had listed it as an EP when I put ideas in other threads. forgot. But, I meant EP because I was hoping mythical horses could go with it.

Are you familiar with the cow from TS3 online store? It was a cow, that was confined to a pin with a small assortment of animations and only a handful of interactions with Sims. Like the hamster cage on a larger scale. That is the type of large animal that a GP could introduce. A free roaming horse would require a significant amount of new programming, well beyond what they can use on a game pack.

of course I do. I own it.
I agree game packs are limited.
that type of item from the sims 3 store could easily end up in a stuff pack, it was premium content.
if they can make other life states by game pack, it's a possibility.
what do we know anyway, we don't make the packs they do.

I would happily take,
horses
cows
pigs
goat
chicks
bees

in one pack, but this is the sims 4, where features get drained like a vampire diaries ripper does to a human :#

That cow was stupid! It really is. That stupid cow will only gives you milk, there were a few choices of flavours depending what you fed your cow with but sometimes they refuse to take my chocolate! Other than that, we can play tic-tac hoof with them which I find incredible stupid too! I understand the game was made with a sense of crude humor but this isn't funny to me at all. They could've made the animal in a productive way that closely resemblance what an animal does in real life and how it contribution benefits to the human world, rather than making these animal looks incredible idiotic with limited animation out of the norm behaviours.

I might be alone, but I like the fact that TS3 has horses but TS4 hasn't. It makes the games more unique instead of carbon copies of eachother.
