What Farming Features Do You Want Most?

I want to see cat farming. Just one crazy old lady with 25 cats, surrounded by rustic wooden fences

All because without them you wouldn't have a farm.

I want animal husbandry, not pets. Cows, chickens and either sheep, goats or llamas.. I'd really love llamas because it's the sims. I'd like meat but I think it's unlikely unless it's done in a way that isn't very offensive so I dunno there... I'll be okay if we don't get meat. I want wool, milk and eggs to process or use in crafting.
I don't need all the crops listed but some of the listed additions would be nice, better looking fields and ways to manage them sounds great too. Build/buy - of course.
I'm hoping they don't try to squeeze horses in. Just to have farm animals the way the budgets seem to go with animations I'm really hoping they save them for a pack that's more about horses and things you can do with them.
A farmers market sounds fun too... will be nice to get it, or something like it.

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

No, I get that it's a main purpose. I'm not vegan or vegetarian. I love a good steak or burger and, I feel no shame in eating meat. I'm just saying for the purposes of gameplay, I'd personally prefer to skip that part.

That's just my personal opinion. I'm one of those people that don't want to see how the sausage is made but I'll still eat it.

I want it all.

Its definitely not pretty and I understand why you personally dont want it in the game, to this day I still dont want to know what's in haggis ?, I would say if it was to be added to the game it would need to be a rabbit hole to place on their farm so people could decide if meat produce is how their sims going to make money on their farm or not, after that meat wall controversy I felt I had to back us meat eaters up by reminding people that eating meat isnt wrong ? and its personal choice if someone eats meat or not, I do think this has to be optional so it doesn't cause upset to vegetarians/vegans if this part of farming is added or for someone that does eat meat but doesn't want it in the game @SweetieWright_84

Regarding meat: It's already in the game -- fish have been suffering the indignity for a while now.

Personally, I wish that they'd implement a semi-realistic version of animal meat processing, milking, and egg harvesting. The horrors of it might be a useful educational experience for some people.

Just like in a lot of animated movies: "Eating meat is wrong. Here, have some Sushi!"

I think a lot of anti meat people are actually pescatarian because it's not the principle of eating meat itself (for some, that is indeed the case) but the torture of the animals that comes with the industry and they don't want to support it. Some people only eat free range meats.

Also, if we're going to be real about it, humans eat way more meat than they are supposed to, at least in the US. We're not supposed to be eating huge slabs every day, all year, certainly not multiple times a day. I used to see a nutritionist who was also a food scientist for over 20 years in the industry and she told me that the push for meat in "The Big 4" (food groups) was just to promote meat farmers who were struggling in the industry at that time and they needed people to buy more meat. It was just another marketing ploy from a corporation. She had some really eye opening information about the food industry.

I think I prefer a more idealistic or fantasy farming concept. Steampunk farming with giant, belching faux meat and cheese machines where you throw the ingredients in to get various results, and animals peacefully corralled outdoors for eggs, wool, milk, and social company, who also function as a family petting zoo. Call me a sissy but modern food farming is ugly.

A rabbit hole wouldn't be so bad. That would probably be the only way most would be happy.
