    Nothing from the pack looked interesting, unless my dog can chase and eat a rabbit, like the fox did. But I'm looking forward to the base game updates. Specifically:

    1. create-a-pond
    2. team cooking
    3. better calendar
    4. The new canning interactions would interest me if food spoilage were a big issue. But as things are, I don't see the purpose. (or is canning strictly a new pack activity?)
    5. cross stitching. Doesn't interest me, but it's a cool addition. Edit: seems like that's limited to this new pack, so there's one pack-specific thing that does look cool to me.

    • The fox/rabbit fight (and the simmers' reaction to it).
    • One of the lots is a rental.
    • One of the premade families share their name with one of my real family.
    • NPCs with specific roles.
    • Naming animals and their special treats.

    It's the little things, you know.

    Purses there are purses?! My female Sims has always wanted an enormous amount of purses and shoes. But I thought that was limited to mrs. Winterbottom

    As I am more into building than playing.
    Pond tool. (I have about ten lots with the ponds already dug out waiting for the water).
    New Build Items.
    New Buy Items.
    Cooking together.
    New gardening items.

    Looking forward to turning Willow Creek into an older type Village as well.

    What didn't I love? It was all great but I am especially looking forward to these elements:

    1. New traits: Animal enthusiast and lactose intolerant (I find the second one hilariously specific, and the mischief maker in me can't help but wonder what a sim with vegetarian, lactose-intolerant, and squeamish traits would be like to play with -- a lot of nausea, I imagine).
    2. Chickens and the fact that they can breed
    3. the Animals in general (beautifully and realistically animated and with lots more interactions than I expected).
    4. the new builds, which are all gorgeous
    5. Food: new ingredients and harvestables (cheese, milk of different flavours, raspberries, blueberries, new mushrooms, eggplant, watermelon, etc) and unique new recipes: jams and conserves, new pies, beef wellington, eggplant parmesan, watermelon salad, etc.

    I'd also be interested in knowing if anyone thought there was a missed opportunity in this pack, something that you think really ought to be there in a farming/ cottage/ country pack (but of course its absence doesn't ruin anything; it just would have been nice to have). At the moment I can't think of anything that's missing but I am sure something will occur to me eventually!

    I actually love everything about this pack, but if I had to choose five things:

    1. The challenge of raising animals
    2. The ability to be self-sufficient
    3. The world
    4. The fact that we can have evil chickens (I can see it now: an evil loner vampire with a farm of fiery-eyed chickens)
    5. Villager quests

    The only thing I wish they had added was more ways to get water and energy off the grid, like maybe a well and more rustic looking wind turbines, but I understand that wasn't really the focus of this pack.

    1. Animals are very cute and seem fun. Not a fan how the livestock are tied to 1 per 1 shed still but I can live.
    2. NPC roles. May need some tweaking but otherwise I like it.
    3. Crumplebottoms.
    4. The world is visually beautiful and lovely. Just wish we had more lots.
    5. Produce & the produce competition looks fun.

    1.) Realistic prey/predator nature. (Fox & rabbit)
    2.) I really really love the ground plots. I was getting sick of planter boxes.
    3.) Children can cook & garden.& Gain skills while doing it.
    4.) Animals die - trust me, I know it sounds awful, but I'd rather my animals rip then end up neglected because my Sims died first.
    5.) Lactose intolerant Trait. We need more traits like this that feel personal to the sim but relatable to other sims.
