    Archery including it for Children & teens.. I like both @MeaganJo and @MasonGamer 's Ideas.. I was thinking about Witches and Faeries being included in this because they Both use herbs and are kind of earth creatures. I also love the idea of arm pit hair for women ..I would also like to see the washing up in front of the sink feature/ animation..I really like the "tree platform " idea that we could build upon ( Tree house )...How about a meat smoking house, and having certain trees to get syrup from- to make maple syrup...How about a logging Career, like a Lumber jack,or um maybe Carpenter career ...Maybe also a neighborhood kind of like "The Little House on the Prairie " era.. With even Laura Ingalls Family as Sims...

    I keep thinking
    But I don't want to get off track..
    I will check back tomorrow..
    Thanks again for asking us for our input !

    Diane Pinkus

    More great ideas @Pinkusfamily !

    I love all these ideas!

    I would like to see more interactive community lots.

    * A camp ground where Sims can set up a tent, have a fire pit, stay as long as they like, have other Sims set up camp nearby (on the same lot).
    * A farmer's market where Sims can sell produce, fish, crafts, etc and other Sims set up their stands nearby
    * A community garden with the ability to evolve and tend community plants - claim a plot for yourself, etc.
    * The ability to do more than "tend" your table (City Living). Sims tending a table and having a sale should be able to entice passersby to buy wares, chat up potential customers, expound on their products, etc. Be salespeople!
    * A lot of the previous Sims stuff would work well here: sewing machines, pottery wheel, flower arranging, beekeeping, etc.

    Awesome ideas! I would love a Farmer's Market and more rustic looking vending tables/booths as well as more interactions with the table.

    I really like these ideas! I'd definitely buy this pack :)

    I'd also like some more recipes that don't require any equipment to make (I'm playing the History challenge but I don't have Outdoor Retreat and thus the only way for my sims to survive, is through eating 500 mushrooms per day...). Things like more salads, raw fish recipes (and the ability to eat a raw fish out of the inventory? Yeah it's gross but fish are completely useless to me right now) would be great.
    It would also be cool to have more recipes on the grill like grilled mushrooms, grilled apple slices etc. that are more filling than produce eaten directly from the inventory.

    A "Practice woodworking" option on the bench would be great, so sims can gain woodworking skill more efficiently for long periods of time instead of having to craft 10 sculptures.
    It would also be fun if sims could sculpt in other mediums than wood, ex. stone, glass and ice, as well as have big sculpture options (sim-sized or a bit smaller). It would be fun to have my Ancient Civilization sims craft some cool Roman sculptures for aesthetic and realism.
    Also, can sims sculpt other sims again please? That would add so much storytelling options, especially for legacies and vampires. A specific option to paint a portrait of a sim/many sims would be great as well. I know you can paint them from reference, but with this specific option, the sims would group together and pose (maybe you can choose their pose - formal, casual, funny, romantic).

    I'd also like an option (maybe a tick-able on/off game option) to only be able to cook recipes if you have the ingredients. It would be a nice touch for realistic players, those who like a challenge (having to find/grow harvestables to eat) and for those who want gardening to play more of a role in the game.

    Lastly, in TS3 we could give toddlers food on the floor. Can this return please? It saves so much time, opposed to taking a toddler in and out of a highchair multiple times per day.

    But yeah, anything with nectar-making has me sold :)

    I was thinking, been thinking- how about - and I am not so sure they would go in the mix with a Natural living pack, but here it goes... We could use Those Big Garbage Dumpsters, It would be a welcome addition to any business or even Park...Also the all in one Bathroom- that Looks like an old fashioned Out house..Then I thought about those Charity Clothes Bins- In real life I just dumped some too small clothes of my kids in... Something- I guess it would be like in the dresser section, But it would look like a Salvation Army Clothes donation bin....

    Since we are only on Page 2 I am going to re-post this feed again on my FB page and other pages I know of.

    Love this off-the-grid idea!! But I would love for more furniture to be compact friendly, or an actual interactive camper where we can customize the color of the furniture within.

    Like picking your own colors instead of choosing from the options the game has? If so, that's what we have cc for.
