they produce poop, which is fantastic for growing roses.
Cheese Making
Use milk that's produced by cows can be used at the butter churn to produce homemade cheese & butter!
Who uses a butter churn to make cheese?
Cheese making is more about stirring, straining and moulding
Sewing machine & Sewing skill
From the whool of the sheep you can sew your own clothes with the sewing machine.
You'd have to card, spin and weave the wool before you could sew it.
Perhaps spinning and knitting would be a better option for wool.
But sewing can be done with feed-bags and flour bags.
In the 1930's they made pretty flourbags.
Generator to produce Electricity.
That's a terribly wasteful idea. Why not have solar panels and wind turbines instead?
Homeschooling Kids & teens can be homeschooled by their parents to have more time to help on the farm. The next school might be miles away.
Parents aren't quilified to teach, so why not send your sprogs to school of the air?
Did you just come to take every idea down? Half of the things you say aren't even necessary to think about in a sims game and 'parents aren't able to teach their kids'? Pls, don't make me laugh. If that's how you think of yourself, then that's pretty bad.
I think the farming pack is a great idea and have been loving this since the day i have seen it on the forum. Cant believe EA has been ignoring it till now. Gotta come some day as it would be a great success if you look at the enthusiastic fans everywhere.

New Trait: Eco-Friendly
These Sims prefer a lifestyle of energy conservation, recycling and sustainable eating. Eco-friendly Sims want to protect the environment and hate waste.
They take showers much quicker
Hate taking baths and playing on Slip N' Slide (Backyard Stuff) since it's a waste of water
Get highly positive moodlet from eating harvestables
Get a great moodlet when on lots with "Off the Grid" lot trait or near solar panels/ water pumps
Learn gardening much quicker
Can talk about composting, going green, recycling, and renewable energy
Rather use a clothesline and wash tub than a dryer and washing machine to do laundry. [Requires Laundry Day Stuff]
Get your vote in in time then as Farming is one of the four last options. It's just a game not like Graham's thread so not to be taken seriously. I like all of those options though.
I just watched a video on how they used to turn flax into linen & I had no idea how long the process was. I'm sure they can do some of it faster now, but this was really fascinating & I think it would be cool of Sims could do it (although at a sped up pace). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFuj7sXVnIU

Cool idea! Crafting of any kind would be essential to a Farming expansion!
We have already mentioned Nectar making, butter churning, making preserves and jam (canning), cheese making, spinning jarn, cheese making...
I would like to add that maybe Sims can have septic tanks & can recycle/clean the water to re-use to fit in w/ the eco friendly side. They should also be able to have rain barrels to catch rain & the water from it can be used to water plants or can be purified & re-used for showers & toilet flushing.

I don't agree with having rain barrels. If you don't own Seasons it doesn't make sense to have rain barrels when it doesn't rain at all. They should rather add water pumps that use ground water in order to have water on an lot with "Off The Grid" lot trait.

Here's a water pump:
i think both a rain barrel or water pump would be a neat feature
cc ones look great
so many new functional mods for this type of theme
rain barrels
water pumps
canning station
chicken scoop
Functional Hen
cow/goats farm animal
it amazes me just how many mods there are for things still not included in the official game.
As a step up from Sims 3, farm animals shouldn‘t be an object. They behave similar to roombas from C&D and you can create your own custom cages by using fences.
You will need to place a barn or coop inside the fenced-off area. Then you can purchase farm animals by clicking on the barn
You have to place water and food troughs inside the enclosure or else farm animals get taken away
Farm animals eat hay and you can also grow your own hay. Sometimes hay piles up to a haystack in which you can WooHoo in.
You can encurage farm animals of opposite gender to breed with each other. This will result in farm animal babies like calfs, lambs and chicks. When breeding, farm animals will go into the barn.
Like pets, once farm animals get too old they die of old age, but can‘t die of starvation or fire. (That would be sad) Instead they get taken away if they don‘t get fed.

If farm animals become sims, they will take up a slot in your household. Why would you want that? If they are tied to an object like a coop or cow shed, you can place as many coops or sheds as you wish without it affecting your household limit. Plus, they could add other farm animals that we could use for supplies like sheep/wool, geese/feathers, pigs/bacon, goats/milk, etc. If they are tied to an object, the number of different farm animals would only be limited by the devs imagination.

agree
I would like to see more chose of vegetables and fruit, the sims 3 had so much more

Yes to all of it!
I need this pack so badly.
All my creations are CC free.

Unfortunately it looks like they are thinking of Farming and horses separately given that they are two of the last four choices.
I think you meant Sims 4: Get Off MY Land!
LOL! I like that better.

Integration with Laundry Day Stuff:Technophobe trait
Technophobe Sims despise everything electronical. They refuse to use or even be near electronic appliances.

....Perhaps a death by chickens being in there.
