Could this be a hint to a farm GP/EP?

Alright, it's probably been seen by everyone else already but I for one hadn't noticed until today that BB is so close to farmland 
There are cows and stacks of hay and even an airplane that lands there.
Could this be a hint of things to come? Many people, myself included, have been dreaming of a farming-themed pack. It's also among some of the more frequently used items from the Sims 3 store, so I think it has a lot of appeal.
I'd be so, so, so excited about a farm-themed pack, I wouldn't even mind getting that as a GP before we get witches xD Although I feel it might be better to get it after a Seasons EP, simply because I want weather to really affect the farming experience. Like having to find ways to make money (through farm animals - meat, milk, eggs, etc.-, canning, etc.) in winter because you won't be able to grow crops (outside at least).
What do you think?

Yes indeed, that's kind of what I was thinking about as well! I mean, there've been a few backdrops that at least appeared to be hinting at things we've gotten in later EPs/GPs. I would be so excited to have my own cows, pigs and chickens xD And perhaps they could do us a favor when introducing this theme and finally bring back actual self-employment (I'll just never really get over that one, I just want it back).
And maybe bring horses.
How do you mean “make sense”?
We’ve had connecting Neighborhoods and Backdrops since Windenburg?

Same, but it's always a nice addition to the game.
Things that they could include in a farming pack:
1. Small scale/organic and large scale agriculture with modern farming tools
2. Livestock
3. Horses
4. Tons of new items that can only be produced using farm products
5. Farmer's market
6. New farm-related perks and abilities

It looks awesome.
Definitely a farmer's market yes, that would be so great
It could be a good opportunity for them to bring new players with a farm GP/EP.
Yeah that’s been there since Windenburg. I thought you meant something else.
Eg. From the Island you can see the Modern district, from the modern district you can see the island.
In Old Town you can see the ruins, vice versa.
You can see other parts of the City in SAN Myshuno. You can see the Lighthouse from the mainland in Brindleton Bay.
Nothings really different with Jungle Adventure other than there’s a fast travel process rather than a loading screen to the next area (thanks to it being the first pack to make advantage of 64 bit).
But the Guru’s have been incorporating areas you can explore into the backdrops since the initial complaints with the base game and Outdoor Retreat. In every area, you can see the other parts of the world in the distance that you can travel to.

So it would say that if they always use 64bits we could get better worlds?
64 bit just means they don’t have to limit themselves to a small amount of RAM anymore, so they can have much larger areas as they’re able to have more memory available.
It seems Brindleton Bay was designed for 32 bit but the Pets aspect is what made them tip over to 64 bit.
Judging how Jungle Adventure has an Island that’s accessible without a loading screen, I’d imagine if Brindleton Bay took advantage of 64 bit, you could probably have fast traveled via boat to the island. Or in Windenburg, had access to the Ruins, Bluffs, or Von Haunt Estate from the main Neighborhoods without a loading screen.
A lot of these “1 lot” areas probably wouldn’t need a loading screen to be seperate from the main neighborhood, it was only done due to memory restraints with 32 bit.

Or, I would definitely support it being a GP rather than an EP at all. Seasons needs to be the next EP.

Actually since Base Game -- there's the freight train that runs across the canal from the Crick Cabana lot that goes through Oasis Springs, and the trolley that goes past the Goth house in Willow Creek and also in one of the Newcrest neighborhoods (the one with the 50x40 lot).
Fun must be always -- Tomas Hertl (San Jose Sharks hockey player)
That’s just an FX object, the backdrops don’t show other areas of the map like Windenburg and later do.

I'm really happy JA comes with Avocados, black beans and those weird berries but I'd love more harvestables, green houses and animals like cows,chickens,sheep and pigs (pigs maybe for finding truffles?) and with activities like making your own jellies/jams/wine/knitting etc
-Spiral, L&U shaped stairs-More hair colors-Alternative fashion(Goth,Punk,lolita)-More rabbit hole careers-Witches,Plantsims,Werewolves.
Yes I'd love all those things too! And I definitely want seasons to be the next EP so if this is an EP, then hopefully not the next one (unless we get two of course but I doubt it). But I think with pets already created, maybe there's a slim chance this could fit into a GP. I'd love to go get eggs from my little chickens, take care of my livestock in the morning, then go knit some stuff to sell at the market, and end the day by drinking homemade nectar with my sims in the evening ^^ hmmmm..
