You must first designate what parts of land you want to use for crops. Use a marking tool in Build Mode to automatically till the land. You can also multiplant a certain crop instead of going to each spot and planting them by hand. Some crops only grow in tilled dirt, while other plants are more resilient or grow faster. New plants include corn, wheat and sugarcane, tea leaves and cotton.
You can have huge rows of crops, which can be difficult to manage if you want to do it all alone. Luckily, you can manage crops by using a tractor; it runs over crops, harvests them on contact and puts them in a nearby shipping bin. You can also pay gardeners to harvest or sell them for you every morning.
Crops aren't easy money, though; you have to watch out for bug-eating crops. You need to water them every so often to keep them from wilting, or use an automatic sprinkler system to help you. If you accidentally let your animals loose, they might wander over and eat your crops. Crops also have a freshness rating, and the above factors determine their overall rating.
Animals
All animals produce waste, which can be used to fertilize plants or act as a fuel source for Off-the-Grid homes.
They're bought via phone, other sims or NPCs. Sometimes, you can find them in rabbit hole caves and give them a good home. You can also breed them, and they're found in debug if you want something quick and easy. But if you use cheats, watch out: pigs have a hidden "weight" value to see if they're being fed. So if you use cheats to help their needs and such, you should still feed them if you want to enter them in a certain event.
Sometimes, animals might escape the barn or your fenced-in pastures, because you forgot to close a door/gate. You'll have to grab them and lead them back to safety, or risk having them wander off the lot, eat your crops or harass other sims and animals.
County Fairs
Cooking Overhaul
Now, wouldn't that mean normal sims would fail at making their breakfasts? No, not exactly. Lower skills just mean a bigger chance at bad meals. Food also has their own difficulty rating, ala Dine Out. The higher their difficulty, the more likely it is for a novice to mess up. Unless your sim is truly abysmal, you can't fail at making a bowl of cereal.
There are some general country recipes, but also some magical recipes related to dragon drops. Now your witches can make dragon-themed meals and drinks for their spooky families.
New Traits
Ranch-Ready/Country Bumpkin: You love working on a farm, gardening and taking care of animals. Spending too much time in-doors or away from your crops gets you tense, while having low hygiene is no problem for you. You don't normally mind visiting people and places, but those busy community lots outside of the farmland might be too much for you.
Animal Lover: Self-explanatory.
Animal Hater: Also self-explanatory.
Technophobe: Aside from using your phone, you don't like using technology. When you use it, you're much more likely to break it.
PlantSims
In addition to everything they can already do in-game, PlantSims can make plants grow faster, revive dead ones, and improve their health. They can spread Spores of Happiness to cheer others up, spread Spores of Health to help sick or tired sims, or Spores of Rage to make them mad at everyone around them. Note that spores can trigger allergies, and releasing spores about farm animals might cause them to try and nibble on you. Animals with poor health and a bad relationship with you might also try to nibble on you.

The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
Sounds great. I think your ideas for animal gameplay are especially really realistic, because let's be honest here; the Sims team isn't going to let players send animals off to a slaughterhouse. Knowing the team, I think the animal-gameplay of a Country pack would be more centered around raising animals, caring for them and recycling the waste that they produce, like you mentioned. Maybe pigs and cows will be able to produce meat, but I think it would be something that your Sim could 'collect/harvest' from time to time and put in their inventory or something to sell or eat afterwards. The game certainly won't allow animals to die for meat production - I think that's just not in the Sims 4's nature.
Well, sims do eat fish and frogs, so maybe they will allow for farm animals to be eaten? As long as there are no graphical details, that should not be a problem I think. They could be like the plants and you just click on them to harvest and you get variable amounts of meat and sausages, hotdogs and hamburgers in your inventory.
I also hope home-schooling is introduced ino a farming pack; I've always hated how stressful it is sending Sim kids to public school...with home-schooling,I could have parents or legal guardians teach the kids at home.
That will be awesome, another idea that probably won't happen.Is chaples.Like a chapel could be a commune wear you have events.Get married by a person.
I wouldn't mind another small town to come with it that is a little different than StrangerVille.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionOne, a village with small lots, surrounding a village green that could be used for country festivals, and farmers markets.
One with small and medium lots.
One with medium lots.
One with medium and large lots.
I want the option to buy subsequent lots within your home neighbourhood. So you can start with one lot, build your house, and make a tiny farm, but then can buy a neighbouring lot, to expand your farmland. A huge farm could be achieved by buying the entire neighbourhood.
Here's some nice examples of a village green
I would also be interesting in logging and replanting to be tied to the woodworking table to make more furniture.
The rice farms in China are beautiful too:
What if they tied down the werewolf and farming pack together?? Nah that would be terrible!
Be a herdsman would be nice.

Basically, I want stuff that adds to the gameplay. Not just stuff that looks pretty but I get bored after one play-through. And not just buffs and rabbit holes!
