County and Farm world Idea

I was thinking about a new idea for a new expansion pack, I was thinking of combining farming and traditional country town events.
New world:
The new world could be called Hayward. Hayward is a small farming town with seven lots (three pre made homes, two community lots, one empty lot and a large park).
Hayward is based on a Minnesota town with folksy charm, the town has a large park/ peach orchard. The community enjoys warm afternoon walks, talking, playing and Sometimes eating tasty peaches fresh off the tree, as long as Mrs or Mr Higgs doesn’t catch you.
Premade sims:
Mrs and Mr Higgs are believed to be related to the founders of Hayward the very founders who first planted the peach trees.
They both very proud of Haywood and the local events. Mrs and Mr Higgs love to entering their “Homemade” pies in local competitions and always get first place. Their homemade pies actually hold a secret that would shock the townspeople. No, they are not Sweeney Todd but they actually using frozen pies made from a factory in Strangeville called mother pies.
Mr Read and Mr Harris are happy couple with twin toddlers, a happy collie dog and a mini pig, Alan Read is stay at home dad, He’s often playing or teaching his toddlers new words. Thomas Harris is a gardener who loves anything green and loves the Eco lifestyle.
Animals and bugs:
Horses
Chicken (please no Charles the chicken)
Pigs
Sheep (their wool can help with knitting)
Slugs & Snails
Slugs and Snails will eat the plants but chickens will eat slugs and snails.
Local events
The fruit and vegetable festival lasts for two days where everyone can pick the fruit and vegetables grown in Hayward (Higgs idea). Children, teens, adults and elders all love the tasty peaches, the fresh peas and strawberries all locally grown.
Best in Show and Best Pie events: sims can enter their home baked pies, home reared animals, homemade crafts and knitted clothing. The pie competition is the jewel of Hayward, only six bakers can enter their pies and they will be judged by NPCS. Sims can compete to get a beautiful blue ribbons and shine with pride. First prize will get a blue ribbon and 60 simloeans. They also get a mood let “my heart could burst with pride”. If they place 2nd or 3rd will get a yellow or green ribbon and will get the mood let “Not best in show but best in heart”. If you beat the Higgs to first place, they will have a meltdown.
Sims can attend the evening hayrides during the last day of summer.

Thank you
I'd prefer a rural world with at least 3 neighbourhoods, one being the village, and made up of small lots around a village green (aka the place for markets, fairs and festivals. The village also needs the local pub, a place to drink a pint of your favourite yeasty brew.
Ho hum.
The game needs to get away from US themes, and become a little more global.
Lets have a rural English countryside instead.
Needs ducks, cows, and goats.
Needs wheat, barley, and rye. Turnips, cabbage, and beetroot.
Also, what the heck is "Straw"? Are you meaning what is left after harvesting grain?
Not sure where you planned on getting the milk from... Sheep? Nah, we're gonna need cows and goats.
Yes please!. Some nice English folk music! Maybe some OECD, and some Morris Dance tunes.
Needs more pie. Lamb pie, Cottage pie, Shepherds pie.
And needs more bread. Country cob, Loaf of Rye, Oatcakes.
And more soups, Grandma's chicken soup, Nonna's Minestrone, and Babushka's best Borscht.
Cheese making!
Yogurt, soft cheeses, cottage cheese, hard cheeses, matured cheeses. This pack needs to be cheesy
Also could include some gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches in the recipes list... hmmm like Welsh Rarebit.
Brewing!!!
Brew your own yeasty brew, use different grains for different brews. And maybe keep the sludge at the bottom of the vat, so your sims have some tasty yeast extract to spread on their toast, or put in their pies and soups for added flavour.
A lot of detail & thought went into it. I liked the store content of cows & chickens from Sims3 but I would like more dynamic interactive stuff like you suggested here.
I would love for farm lots to be larger. I live on a farm & have over 30 acres so it's impossible to build anything close to my yard on Sims4. I could cut out the back pastures but still couldn't fit my barn, driveway, sheds, etc.
