Raising livestock won the Twitter poll, so I would expect that much at least.

All of the above except for the meat one.
Although I understand your comment, but meat is one of farming main purpose, I also understand perhaps vegetarians and vegans would get upset about this if it got added to the game but it's not wrong to eat meat and it shouldn't be treated like it is, it's an individual personal choice, I was annoyed there was even controversy with the meat wall in eco lifestyle ?, practically every type of animal in the world eat meat, but a meat wall in a game is controversial?
I pick all from above- I've no interest at all in a farming pack (or game) of any kind. I've lived and worked on a real-life farm before. It's not what I would call fun.

Yup. My dad grew up on a farm, and when I was a kid we raised a handful of pigs and steers for meat. My only experience at a dairy farm was the day I discovered I'm intensely allergic to dairy!! But I still like 4H displays at county fairs."KathMHughes;c-17809322" wrote:

Farming is hard work, honest work, and also extremely high tech. Modern farms are more high tech than a modern office, rivaling a modern manufacturing plant with computerized machinery etc. In Sims terms a real, "realistic" farming pack would be closer to the Science career than anything else.
I always get a feeling that people wanting a "farming pack" have a very very different idea of farming, probably based on things like Animal Crossing (even Disney movies are far more realistic about farming than some people's ideas of farming) just birds singing, apple-plucking, maybe maybe some egg-harvesting. No bad harvests, no emergency visits by the vet-truck to try to save the life of a calf (or mercy kill wounded animals), no slaughter, and no workplace accidents. Oh and definitely no killing off a whole barn of cows because of foot and mouth disease outbreak.- And can I also say this, without these "controversial" meat eaters as we apparently are ?, everything would overpopulate causing another problem to not being able to fed every animal, although I respect vegetarian/vegan views, I definitely agree with you guys about the fur trade, animals shouldn't die for their fur ( it looks better on the animal), for food theres a purpose to it whether you like it or not, it's your personal choice, if you choose to not eat meat, you cant expect us all not too, I had someone that was vegetarian giving me grieve for eating meat, i was respectful until I couldn't be and i told them 'just because you want to eat like a rabbit doesn't mean i have to' it came shooting out my mouth, I'm respectful to those that are respectful to me

Nope, we have jam, too. Jelly is a different product.
That being said, I agree with absolutely everything else you said, up to and including the awesomeness of oat milk. :)"Beardedgeek;c-17809333" wrote:

So back to my intensely traumatic trip to a dairy farm...I remember seeing the cows had holes in their abdomens, like just sawed open. You could reach your hand right in.
I never watched any videos on factory farming. That was enough for me. I never asked why, I was only 10 years old, but with all the hookups, they were more like machines than living animals.
