Is Anyone Else Playing a Farm? (Screenshots)

My farm people were supposed to be poor and miserable, but they actually ended up happily living in an idyllic setting. It's very relaxing to play. I really put off building this farm out because for some reason, I don't like doing outdoor builds, but once I started, I really got into it, and I like the way it turned out.

Are you playing a farm? If you are, show me your screenshots or tell me about your farm. *Links to cc are on my Tumblr.*

    I don’t use mods or custom content, but if we get a farm pack, I do have a family picked out to be farmers. The wife already has a hot house with a lot of plants, and the husband fishes part time, and fixes peoples plumbing....but, really want them to have a farm with animals.

    I made a farm, too! Well, I made a few farms sized from huge to teeny, but none of them have cc, so there are no animals. This is the huge one:

    You can always download dogs and cats from the gallery that are put together to look like farm animals, although you're obviously going to have cows and goats that want to curl up on your couch, haha.

    Oh wow, that looks amazing. I like how you sectioned it all off with the different areas for different things. I have a hard time figuring out how to section mine out, where to put the path, stuff like that. I really like your orchard and your clutter by the barn, too. Yours looks great!

    I actually did a little research because I wanted it to look real, but be functional for Sims! I'm really proud of it! I also wanted there to be room for animals so people could add their own cc.

    I've been planning on playing the role of a farmer but I keep putting it off because I'm too invested in my current saves. Maybe I'll move one of my current Sims into a farm and continue it from there.

    I think you would really have a lot of fun if you do. I hope you'll come back and post pics on the forums if you decide to make a farm. I love to see what other people are doing in their game, especially if it's something unique, like farming.

    Being a farmer is more healthy than living in a city or a village, because you are exercising a lot more, you get constant fresh air, and you become self-sufficent through farming.

    I got one character i could bring into it, his name is Bethany Angelis, he prefers the name "Haney". He loves farming and gardening and spends most of his time outside rather than being cooped up in his converted barnhouse. I haven't played him recently, but i can work something up.

    I build a small farm in Windenburg a long time ago. Seeing these other farms, I'll have to go back and touch up on it. Especially with more packs and cc available now.

    A possible concept of one type of layout that could be used?
  • BlkBarbiegalBlkBarbiegal Posts: 7,924 Member
    I love the pictures. The first few pics with the animals, I did that exact same thing in sims2. Had sooo much fun with it.

    I downloaded a farmhouse for my current game from the gallery, but haven't really used it yet.

    Everyone's farms are awesome! I love looking at sim farms, I wish we had real ones.

    I just built the Fox family farmhouse from Appaloosa Plains in the Sims 3:

    @tanakaki Your farm looks really cute! I could only see a tiny picture of it, but the dog looks like a good breed for a farm dog, too!

    @Hoverael Oh yes, I like your layout so much and the way you utilized the fences! Your silo looks great, too!

    @BlkBarbiegal Thank you! :)

    @Busufu Thank you so much! I was so thrilled to find the cc horses for Sims 4! :)

    @FreezerBunnyCowplant It's really fun to position the farm animals and move them around, like from the barn to the yard, and makes for lovely screenshots.

    @elanorbreton I never thought of putting a farm or ranch on a sandy lot, but yours looks fantastic! There's something very realistic about the way you set it up.

    Wow. This layout has inspired me to finally do something with the huge lot in Newcrest.

    I'm not really playing it as a farm really, because I rarely play this family. They are more secondary characters still, but want to have farm animals on it one day... actually in the process of replacing the builds in that save so when I get back to this family I'll probably give them some plants. An orchard might be nice actually.. less upkeep. It should still be somewhat like this in the future but hopefully with chickens and cows!

    It's suppose to be Marnie's Farmhouse in my stardew save. I didn't build it and can be found under the name Marnie's Ranch House on the Gallery.

    My Winterfest Tree Farm

    It's a retail lot. There are lots of decorations for sale inside the barn, and as well as pre-decorated trees. The little kiosk sells hot drinks.

    won't be playing a farm family until EA gives us horses, just thought id complain :)

    Love the idea of farm as retail lot! It adds to the farm neighborhood, wuthout being sort disfunctional.

    I have several farms in my region, but they are all residential.

    Not quite playing yet (only did a temporary play test), but I just finished building a farm for one of my families.

    There's no animal area besides a dog obstacle course as we don't have a farming pack yet, but there's a big gardening area :)

    .

    Seems like a good start. Farming in general requires acres of land for crops or livestock. Large machinery for watering, etc. Not a single farmer uses a gardening watering can to hydrate their crops. :lol: (Unless otherwise 100% situationally necessary)

    I’d like to see this expanded more. Sadly, it might not even be possible with the lot size restrictions in TS4.

    It’ll just make it look like a large garden plot rather than a farm.

    And yes, farming =/= gardening. :)
