12 lots is awful, my first complaint.

But I'm not stressed about horses, I prefer bunnies anyway, so cute!

Definitely disappointed in only getting 12 lots. Way too little.

While I'm disappointed in there not being horses, I'm hoping that they'll maybe get a dedicated pack in the future so they can be properly fleshed out. Something fully equestrian-themed, perhaps. The bunnies are pretty cute.

The style is too cutesy for my personal taste. I don't play Disney princesses who make forest friends that help them sew dresses (no offense to those who want to); having wild animals bring my sim gifts just doesn't appeal to me.

One thing from the blog that particularly troubles me:

In the forest, look out for wild rabbits, foxes, and birds. Earn their trust for occasional gifts and help in the garden.

Are the rabbits unable to be kept as actual pets by sims who live in other worlds?

I noticed the same thing! I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed if the rabbits are not adoptable. But there are some wearing sweaters and vests which makes me think that they will occupy a household slot and be editable in CAS.

Yeah, I'm really worried about how they'll handle bunnies. Ideally they'd be like cats & dogs, but The Sims seems to have an aversion to fully-realized pets outside of cats & dogs (and horses.) Like I get not wanting to use up a family slot, but I'd rather have a full pet than a glorified item or NPC.

I noticed that we had a log with a hole in it on the farmland in the trailer. I'm hoping that, if we can't have bunnies as household pets, we can get that log and one will spawn on the lot. The fact that a bunny was shown in the family home gives me hope.

I'm kinda disappointed in how the cows and the llamas work - they're tied to these BIG objects. I wish they would've been tied to smaller objects, like a small stall or something instead. I also don't like how the objects look - they look clunky and too old timey. ?

Hopefully they can be scaled down. Like I can just scale a barn down and hide it in a bush.

I saw someone speculate that maybe we can just shrink these objects down like we can shrink most things. That would be hilarious, if there is a giant cow next to a tiny hut.

Ugh, I guess my Mega-dorm will be stuck in Windenberg.
I doubt there will be a 64x64 lot in the new world.

Romeo has confirmed there is 1 64x64 in the countryside neighbourhood.

:o :D :/ :'( 1?

Rabbits and birds will not occupy household slot, you will be able to by objects once you befriend them, to make them hang out more on your lot

Ah, perhaps it would be possible to shrink down the stall in a shed I build myself - but it would still be weird to build since they presumable disappear into the tiny shrunk down shed.

So far my biggest disappointment is that there's only 12 lots. But that seems to be the norm for Simworlds now. I don't think we'll ever have a Windenburg-sized world ever again. I am pretty excited for the rest of the pack, but I'm reserving full judgement until I read the reviews once the pack is out.

@AmeliaTodd Aha, suspicions confirmed!
