Raise Farm Animals
you can raise, breed and care for various types of livestock. Buy a barn or coop in buy mode and purchase livestock.
These farm animals create produce (like milk) that can be stored in your inventory and used in food or simply sold.
- Chickens (Produce eggs)
- Cows (milk)
- Sheep (wool)
- Horses? (You can ride on them)
Nectar Making
Use the fruits you've grown at your farm to produce various types of nectar that can make your Sim flirty (or uncomfortable if the nectar quality is bad and dazed if you drank too much nectar)Nectar includes the Nectar Making skill and is produced by the Nectar Maker. Nectar bottles age over time and become more valuable!
Butter Churn
Use milk that's produced by cows can be used at the butter churn to produce homemade butter (& maybe cheese)!
New Harvestables
Sims 4: Off The Land introduces new harvestables to grow on your farm that haven't been in the game. These include...
- Oranges (seriously, why are there no oranges?), peaches, plums (fruits)
- Eggplant, lettuce, cucumber, turnips, parsnip, cauliflower (veggies)
- Corn stalk, wheat
Canning Station
A new counter-top Electric Canning Pot to can your food and harvestables so that you have something to eat in winter!Turn vegetables into pickles and fruits into jam/jelly. (There's a pickled or jam/jelly version of every harvestable in the game) Canning might also work at a regular stove.
Sewing machine & Sewing skill
The wool produced by sheep can be used to sew your own clothes with the sewing machine!
Use a spinning wheel to turn wool into yarn. This yarn can be used to sew clothes.
Off The Grid Lot trait
-Generator to produce Electricity. Can be broken and there will be no electricity on lot until you repair it.
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.New World: Redwood Reservoir
(Made by HazzaPlumbob)A quaint country town with a big dam in the distance. The town is out of sight of the main highway running over the dam, concealed by a dense coverage of towering redwood trees.
3-4 Neighborhoods:
- A rustic farm neighborhood with wide fields and family farms (Sunny Acres)
- High-tech, modern, solar-powered farm neighborhood with eco-conscious farmers (High-tech Farms)
- Off the Grid community with dirt roads and self-sufficient households right at the foot of the dam. Most people here have the Eco-friendly trait.
- Quaint town center where farmers sell their produce (Farmer's market)
Farmer's Market
There is a weekly farmer's market in the world once every wednesday where you can buy fresh produce such as eggs, milk, wool, canned food, nectar bottles, special fertilizer etc. or sell your own products.
You can also participate in the farm animal contest and earn badges based on health and egg or milk quality! Show off your riding skill at the mechanical bull rodeo to win a price!

Vlad The Dad: A 100 Baby Challenge, Vlad as ‘matriarch’ *COMPLETE*
Breed Out The Weird *COMPLETE*
This is exactly what I want with a farming pack, more hobbies and living off the grid/land gameplay!
Who uses a butter churn to make cheese?
Cheese making is more about stirring, straining and moulding
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.
That's a terribly wasteful idea. Why not have solar panels and wind turbines instead?
Parents aren't quilified to teach, so why not send your sprogs to school of the air?
Maybe they would die eventually so that you would have to raise new livestock? Maybe the Grim Reaper comes, but there will be no gravestone
BTW even Sims FreePlay now has a chicken coop! Maybe we'll also get one soon?
1. growing crops
2. Herding cattle
3. Designing a scarecrow to protect your crops
4. Upgrading your farm to make it bigger and better.
5. Farm clothing
6. Farm accents
7. Buying tractors or using more oldschool equipment
The Sims Game
Overall though, I enjoyed the cows and such from Sims 3 a great deal!
@SimGuruGraham @SimGuruGrant @SimGuruKate Hopefully the gurus have seen this thread!

That's really great as well. We already have many kitchen appliances, so Canning could work like brewing herbal remedies on a stove or grill in Outdoor Retreat!
I am very anxious to ride on horses, but it would be very tedious just use it in the backyard of the field. I wish you had the option to travel with them. It could just be from one farm (in the same town) or from another town. An option to ride a horse or use it on a wagon.
Eventually, (depending on the traits of the sim) could gain a negative moodlet by being intimidated by technology in a new city, or feeling embarrassed at being called "hick" by another Sim.
It would be very interesting to show this relationship between other cultures and lifestyles. In a friendly way and also of disagreements.
- Cars, motorcycles, bycicles. (Detailed animations)
- Wild Animals (Interactive)
- Thief and Celebrity (Better and more active!)
- Bands
- Farming or Medieval EP
- Cyberpunk or Asian GP
- Beach.
They could bring back the "Technophobe" trait from Sims 3, what makes Sims despise all kinds of technology. Would fit perfectly with "Off The Grid"!
Maybe these Technophobes could sometimes get an uncomfortable buff in San Myshuno.
