    12 lots is less than I was hoping for, I would have loved to have 14 (which I still feel like was barely enough in Sulani). But it's certainly better than 10, and I can make it work.

    It's subject to change once we know more, but my current plan is:

    4 traditional residential lots (at least one young family, one elderly couple who will be the grocer parents of a flower-shop owning YA sim I have already in Willow Creek... I knew I wanted to make her parents eventually, so this is perfect, one spellcaster family, and one household TBD... maybe one of the premades, maybe not).

    1 haunted house lot, probably
    1 rental lot... I might play around with the whole agritourism concept for this one, and it might be the best use of the 64x64 lot for me. I think it could be a lot of fun to have my families from other worlds visit and stay on a working farm where the kids could play with chickens, cows, etc.

    2 retail lots (I'm thinking one bakery/bookshop/with the cafe objects since I can't fit an actual cafe into the world, and then maybe an art gallery/florist)

    1 pub (the existing bar they are giving us)
    1 restaurant (Unless they give us a premade grocer, either as a new lot type or a general retail lot, in which case I'm playing around with the idea of a takeaway shop: i.e., a grocer that also sells premade meals in the cooler cases from Get to Work. Either way, will feature the new recipes.)

    1 community garden
    1 museum or library

    Edited to add: I don't have anyone in mind yet for the haunted house lot, but I suppose if Agnes becomes bothersome, I can move her in there and see how long she lasts. >:)

    Woohoo in haystack?
    Death by woohoo in haystack?
    Death by rabid rabbit?

    That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

    I will be so happy if that's one of the deaths. :D

    Iā€™ll be honest, Iā€™m glad there are no horses because I wasnā€™t looking forward to Sims showing up in Sulani and San Myshuno on horseback. Would have been annoying and immersion breaking in my game

    Llamas are more interesting and appropriate to the Sims, and it would be cool if they patch in riding them.

    Look at those huge pumpkins, aubergines and mushrooms. I hope itā€˜s like in Stardew Valley where there is a chance of getting mega crops when you plant them in 3x3 grids.

    I can make Hagrid's Hut! o:)

    I seriously love this šŸ˜. The idea of kids helping with cooking is such a cute thing.

    I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

    I suggested this several times on the forums, maybe they READ me?! :D

    Thanks for the information. So, is the store just a shell?

    Is there a point to ordering groceries? I thought simsā€™ fridges were limitless.
    Unless they want to make it like the Sims 2 where you run out of food and had to buy groceries, which Iā€™d be down for!

    The more info that comes, the more excited I get. The 22nd is going to take forever to get here. The Sims team is two for two this year. Now, if we get a Generations-style pack for the fall or winter, this will be the best year for the game (in my opinion, of course).

    Same for me! My dream packs are a school pack for a GP in september and a Generations kind of pack for an EP in November!

    There is a new lot trait that adds a bit of challenge and requires you to have the ingredients for the dish.

    According to the blog post one lot challenge is that you need to have the ingredients, so no unlimited fridge contents anymore

    I'll probably be attaching that lot trait to a few sims lots as I like the thought of being able to buy ingredients to cook a lot of items. Something I liked with a mod I wa splaying around with being able to order groceries online or buy them in a rabbit hole lot. Probably gonna need a big rehaul once this comes out.

    @LeneDieters - Sorry to dispute you, but Romeo does say there is a store that sells meat.

    Im loving the look of this one, it reminds me of The Good Life! (if you are old enough and from the UK you will understand that reference!LOL).
    Really hoping that the new fridge/cooker are off the grid as this pack give you real self sufficiency vibes and that would probably be a fun way to play it.

    Oh my! I'm gonna have to create Tom and Barbara now šŸ˜

    Thatā€™s cool! Like someone else said, Iā€™ll probably add that trait to all my simsā€™ household, I love a little extra challenge!
