Farm animals most problably would be restricted to the country world but i'ld love to raise a pig in a San Myshuno's apartment ? yeah, i want to be that neighbour.

A rooster on the balcony would be nice too. :smiley:

I hope that if it is Country Living any farm animals do not take up a family space like cats and dogs.

Agree 100%. If it's not controllable, it shouldn't take up a space, especially since in this case, it would severely restrict family planning.

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.

Do you mean an actual different lot that you have to visit (and leave your house behind), or something like stables that can be placed in the otherwise uneditable surroundings of your lot? Because having to go through a loading screen to see my farm animals would break it for me. It's the reason I don't play retail.

I don’t mind so much the retail or restaurant loading screen if it is worth it. Restaurant management is totally worth it (when it runs smoothly without glitches). retail is meh.

If this expansion is for real, it better be good. Those are my ideas, although I doubt every one of them would be in Country Living if it came out:

• 28 lots. 14 residential lots, 9 community lots, and 5 empty lots.
  
• Dirt trails for horseback riding.
  
• A mountainous world, with "residential housing" neighborhoods being a bit away from town, and the community lots being in the center of town.
  
• Lot traits - No WIFI Reception (can't use computers or phones), Horse Hangout, and Horse Friendly.
  
• New personality traits: Equestrian, Technophobe, and Green Thumb.
  
• Features: Return of chicken coop, milkin' it dairy corral, swiftgro gardening station, humble harvest stands, and the canning station. Also, more produce like blueberries, peaches, blackberries, cucumbers, etc. The new community lot will be an equestrian center (for practicing the horseback riding skill and for competitions).
  
• New recipes, especially Southern dishes.
  
• We already have some country-themed CAS items, so why not more for males, children, toddlers, and elders? Maybe some clothing items and hairs can make a comeback from TS3 pets.
  
• Small animals returning from TS3.

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.

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.

That’s not how it works though. Many game have in been leaked in the past because of retailer leaks. That’s a risk they take. Retailers don’t keep track of a company announced a game, okay time to order to have stock. They need advanced notice of this to have things on time. Leaks from retailers will always be a thing, that’s the risk they’re taking

As much as I want a farming EP, if you read the other topics on this you'll see it's sadly likely a fake. It seems someone photoshopped another picture from a target employee.

Somehow I don't think it's entirely fake. Doesn't one of the gurus have a My Sims farmer as an avatar? People have been speculating before about a farming EP based on his avatar, and we know horses are coming as the code found in game shows they have been working on them. Maybe the picture is indeed photo-shopped but the information may actually be true. I guess we need to wait and see.

I think a lot of this stuff is a planned pr stunt like most things are. EA likely releases the stock info at a time when they don’t care if somebody “leaks it” in order to generate interest for an upcoming trailer ? This kind of stuff is the new trailer for a trailer.

Agreed.

Hopefully they set it up so you can raise animals to sell for meat not just go more gardening collecting eggs and milking cows do it all or not at all.

Can't wait to see my sim stuff a cow into the mailbox :lol: j/k

I'm hoping it's organic farms o:)
