I would love all these things but I would really want the chicken coops plus cows, pigs, horses, etc

I'm wondering if there will be animals or some sort of nature reserve

They could add fir Christmas trees that we could plant in a pot and adopt for Christmas and then plant them out in the garden in the spring. I want watermelons and chocolate bonbons. More plant remedies that cure sickness in sims and pets and not just give different emotions. Also, bird/squirrel feeders and bug hotels, otters, badgers and ducks.

A good list of options. I’d especially love a Park Ranger career and hanging gardens! I hope that some sort of wildlife is added too. For example I’d like it if more small animals appeared if your sims lived sustainably and cleaned the environment (which I’m guessing we will be able to do based on the leak description?).

I know it’s not going to happen, but I just want as much improvements and deepening to off-the-grid and low-tech play as possible. I wanna the option to be fully a hermit in the woods who built everything by hand out of what they found lying around and has never seen a cell phone or supermarket.

Definitely chickens. And maybe between this, the existing off-the-grid (which is... not good? could be better?), Strangerville, and Outdoor Retreat, maybe in combination somewhere in there I can finally cobble together a weak approximation of the survivalist style Sims 4 save I’d love to play.

This might happen at some point as the gurus are aware of the very populair Rags To Riches Challenge.

They might wanna support this at some point.

I would love grass roofs! A little ladder up to a roof garden would be so cute.
