Speculation next EP country living ?

For me to actually care about this pack it needs to have
- Horses
- A county fair with animal contests, crafting and cooking contests, and a carnival midway. Carnival Rides, Rodeo shows, and maybe a Demolition Derby would be a plus. (I'd only expect these to be rabbit holes)
- Thorough integration with previous packs. Especially Seasons and the Calendar. No having events just show up as a pop-up on the notification feed. They need to be on the calendar as well.

First off I wanna say Target needs to be a little better at not putting these ep's in there system before the companies announce their games. I feel like this could get Target in a lot of trouble. Secondly I hope that if it is Country Living any farm animals do not take up a family space like cats and dogs. I definitely need lots for fields at the very least. My gardens already tend to take up half my lots.

Yeah, me too!

Meh. No huge interest for me. I'll likely get it on sale.

TBH, it's not one of the packs that I want to have, but the more I read about it, it seems like a fun pack to have for this series. It reminds me a lot when I had fun playing the Harvest Moon alongside with my favourite game, the FFVII.

If this is happening, it's one of the packs that actually complimenting a lot of other packs that we have for the time being.

Apparently nobody here has actually lived on or stayed a summer on a farm...its alot of work but could be fun sim style I guess :)

Hm, made me thinking. What if the farm animals are on a different lot, but that a sim can own that lot and go there to tend animals and crops? That way the number of animals would not interfer with the 8 household members.

Basically - if we get chicken my sim wants 10 of them, not just 1 or 2. Or pigs, or cheep, I want minimum 5 of those. So I hope animals will not be household members at all, but rather a "fenced in plot" containing up to a certain possible number (if treatened well), and then we can simply add more plots if we want more of that animal. I don't expect farm animals to wander about freely on the lot, perhaps a horse would be an exception, but would then need to count as a pet.

I would love if animals could roam freely on the lot, just not in the neighbourhod. But they will probably be tied to their pens like in TS3.

Why wouldn’t they put the name? It’s part of preparing to have it in inventory for when it’s ready to be sold. Retailers always have to be in the know. Target merely trust their employees not to leak, and if they find out, employees would get in trouble, not target.

EA announced their EA Play thing for June, and they’ve been releasing packs closer to the dates they announce them. So probably about 2-3 weeks after it’s announced it’ll be released

I meant that since EA hasn't even announced the next EP there is no reason for Target to send that into there system so any employee can have access to it. I would think most game developers would take a leak very seriously, especially the same retailer letting it happen twice. If it hasn't been officially announced there's no need to send it to all the stores. They won't need to have it in all the stores inventory for some time.
