Chicken coop hint in Get Famous [Farming]

The description of this bed talks about "Charles, the evil chicken"...

That's a reference to the chicken coop from Sims 3, which included an evil chicken named Charles.

Could this be a slight nod from the developers that they are working on a chicken coop for a potential Farming pack?

    I hope so, but rather than just a small chicken coup I hope they make chickens and other animals where they can run around in a fence where you can go in and feed them and talk to them. And I hope they do the other animals that way as well. However, I don’t want any of the animals to count as an actual sim placement unless they bring out a pet pig or something.

    THIS! They could make pigs and chickens have free reign and we could build fences. They could have a few simple interactions when clicking directly on them so they didn't have to be resource hogs. If they are going to do a farming expansion pack I don't want the animals to be glorified objects.

    I don't know. I know a lot of people want a farming pack, but SimGuruGrant has said many times that it would be super costly to make farm animals. It might just be a nod to Sims3 not necessarily a hint of whats to come. That being said I could see them bringing back the chicken coop but not necessarily doing a full farm pack.

    I'd love to see animals--especially horses! Is there a thread with other Get Famous hints by chance?

    I would actually love a farming expansion pack but I think this was just a fun description. I hope I'm wrong though!

    Really would like horses in the game. We could have ponies this time around too and create the ultimate ranch. They could add corn harvestables too and cow and chicken NPC's.

    If they would release a farming pack without animals I'd be so dissapointed. And honestly, I don't understand! Costly yes, but aren't we paying them lots of dollars for everything they release?!?!! Is it because EA takes the big part of the cookie?!?

    I came to the boards specifically for this. Let's hope. I want my chickens back!!! :smiley:

    I would be disappointed too. They asked some time ago whether people would rather have more harvestables, animals, or something else I believe ( can’t remember what), but I am pretty sure animals won out.

    I remember it as horses, harvestables, raising livestock and "off the grid". Yes, livestock was definitely the winner.

    It's a longshot but I'm hoping the sounds of planes and the airport etc is a hint because I'd love an Island Paradise/Bon Voyage type pack.

    Considering we only got two types of animals for the Pet expansion...I would not hold my breath for a "farm pack". Maybe we'll get one or two things in some other pack, but I doubt we'll ever see a total farm pack and if we did, I think we'd be disappointed by what was not in it moreso than happy with what was.

    That being said, they did a fabulous job with Cats and Dogs...despite so many people being disappointed by what animals were not present, the two that are were done better than in any previous Sims game (just mho), so I would be more than willing to eat my words from the first paragraph if they prove me wrong (you heard me gurus....prove me wrong! Please)

    While true, cats and dogs have a ton of interactions plus (with at least cats) they can jump on furniture and other objects. Sheep, chickens, and cows wouldn't need such a variety of interactions, and they would probably be contained within a fenced in area or around a chicken coop. The hardest part I think would be getting them to move around realistically.

    Horses on the other hand would be trickier, as people are going to want more interactions with them, plus the ability to ride them.
    This is probably why they separated farm animals from horses in the survey. I doubt we'd get them both in the same pack.

    @RememberJoy Horses aren't farm animals, so it makes sense to separate them.

    My cousins raise dairy cows and chickens, their home is called a "farm".
    Growing up, we raised horses, and showed horses, and did rodeos. Our home was called a "Ranch.'
    Horses are a lot of work and quite expensive to raise, very few actual farmers have any, and those that do generally just have a few for hobby purposes...they aren't technically part of the farm, anymore than the bowling ball in the closet is if bowling is one of the farmer's hobbies.

    In the east a lot of the equestrian places are also called farms not ranches.

    @jude72pla I imagine...if we wanted to get all technical, a ranch IS actually a sub-type of farm. I.e. All ranches are farms, but not all farms are ranches.
    I still think it makes sense to separate horses from any pack focused on farming though seeing as they wouldn't really fit well with what most of us traditionally think of as farming; you don't grow them, you don't eat them, and they produce no byproduct that is used for food either (gelatin urban legends aside).

    You can be a farmer but still own horses. That's not a contradiction.

    For me it's already sure we'll get a kind of Farming EP.
