I am so excited about having chickens in the game. I would like to have chickens in Sulani as well so I hope some kind modder will help make their home look a little more Sulani-style.
Does any know any more about canning? It's another thing I'm really looking forward to. I like very much that they'll be able to use regular stoves for it. I know the sims can eat it straight from the jar, but I can't remember if I read it or it's just wishful thinking, can sims spread it on something else? Use it in other recipes? Has anyone seen any more in gameplay videos?
It's winter down here, and we had a glut of mandarins, so for the first time I made Mandarin Jam. I've made other jams before, but this was the first time I did it with Mandarins. So delicious. Peeled the fruit, added a heap of sugar, squeeze of lemon, simmer to a slow boil. Turned out great. And today I made Lime Pickle for the first time - still cooling, so don't know how it tastes yet. .... Makes me wonder when we'll be getting Orange Trees. Maybe in a Mediterranean inspired pack...
I too am looking forward to the new canning system and all the preserves and ingredients it will allow sims to make. But it doesn't behave quite as it did in the Sims 3, in part because not every harvestable in the game (even in the base game) can be canned. Now, the EP is in an unfinished state, so part of me hopes that these missing fruits will appear as options in the final version (although I think realistically that it is unlikely).
Sadly it also seems (based on some Gamechanger videos) that the jams are not spreadable on baked goods already in the game, only on the new baked goods coming with the pack. For instance, Sims can make plain crumpets with butter and jam-covered ones like "blueberry" or "raspberry" crumpets. If the latter is selected, the sim will bake crumpets and then at the end put down a serving plate of crumpets with whatever the selected jam was smothered on top of each one. (But they come that way.) Deligracy demonstrated this.
I'm guessing it would have been logistically difficult to have all the jams now available as spreads for the many types of baked good in the game (especially given the number of recipes that came with the baking skill from GTW). The lack of a spreading animation is less forgivable, just laziness I think or the fact that all their animation resources for this pack were directed at animating the animals.
Despite these drawbacks, I still do think the canning system looks good and it's really great that there are so many types of preserves and that they are useable as ingredients in new pies and in animal treats, as well as behaving like real preserves and storing fruits and veggies for a longer time. They can even be made from the new oversized veggies: one gamechanger reported getting 12 jars of lettuce conserve from an oversized lettuce head, which was preferable to making it into a $3 salad.
I don't know if there will be any cross-pack functionality with the canning system, but it would be nice if in the future the Sims team returned to it and made improvements, or at least added the currently omitted basegame harvestable fruits like cherries, lemons and pears etc.
Bangers and mash, also known as sausages and mash, is a traditional dish of Great Britain and Ireland, consisting of sausages served with mashed potatoes. It may consist of one of a variety of flavored sausages made of pork, lamb, or beef (often specifically Cumberland sausage). The dish is usually served with onion gravy, but may also include fried onions and peas.
Bangers and mash in vegetarian style
This dish, even when cooked at home, may be thought of as an example of pub grub, meaning it is relatively quick and easy to make in large quantities.
In 2009, the dish was listed as Britain's most popular comfort food in a survey commissioned by TV channel Good Food.
Although it is sometimes stated that the term "bangers" has its origins in World War II, the term was actually in use at least as far back as 1919. The term "bangers" is attributed (in common usage in the UK) to the fact that sausages made during World War I, when there were meat shortages, were made with such a high water content that they were liable to pop under high heat when cooked.
Oh yes, I forgot.. not to look here before eating something
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

I well remember those sausages just after the second world war. My mum always pricked them several times before putting them in the saucepan or oven. They were delicious as they always seemed to split down the middle so great to put between thick slices of buttered bread without having to cut them in half! Delicious.

Crumpets are English griddle cakes made from flour, milk/water and yeast and are traditionally eaten for breakfast or with afternoon tea. Theyāre soft and somewhat spongy in texture and their crowning feature are the dozens of tiny holes that dot the surface, allowing whatever you spread on them to soak down into them, making each and every bite an unforgettable one.
What Is the Difference Between a Crumpet and an English Muffin?
Crumpets and English muffins are sometimes confused and while itās true that theyāre both cooked on a griddle, they are distinctly different. English muffins are more like bread rolls; theyāre doughy, heavier and bread-like. English muffins are also cut in a half for serving.
Crumpets are lighter and spongier in texture both as a result of different ingredients/ratios as well as technique and the dual rising method that gives them a different texture, consistency and appearance (specifically the dozens of tiny holes that dot the top surface).
Unlike English muffins, crumpets are not split in half for serving. Instead the butter, honey, jam, etc and spread right on top of the toasted crumpet.
Where Did Crumpets Originate?
If the Union Jack above isnāt a dead giveaway, crumpets originated in United Kingdom.
One of the earliest mentions of ācrumpetā came from the English Bible translator, John Wycliffe, who referred to them as āthe crompid cake.ā The name is thought to have Celtic origins referring to a āthin, flat cakeā (i.e., Breton: krampouezhl; Cornish: krampoeth; or Welsh: crempog or crempot, a type of pancake).
The Evolution of the Crumpet
The crumpet has evolved over time. Centuries ago they were made without yeast and were flatter and harder, more like pancakes (what is also a Welsh variation, bara piglydd, known as pikelets, likewise enjoyed throughout Australia and New Zealand). During the Victorian era the yeast was introduced and crumpets have never been the same since ā for the better.

@simgirl I forgot that part of that word was a vulgar forbidden word now! It started with PR and ended with D, meaning stuck the fork in the top and ...... five little holes several times along the top of each!
@CAPTAIN_NXR7 Don't remind me. I once made a mistake with a new line Marks & Spencer had bought in whereby you had to peel off a metal top keeping a food pot fresh and then recover it with the plastic one. The resulting Bang also resulted in me having to get a new microwave, and shortly after those pots were taken off the shelves at M&S. There must have been several people as forgetful as me!

There are loads of different sausages in the UK I prefer my Bangers and mash to be lincolnshire sausages as they are more lean and less fat. I also use these sausages if I fancy yorkshire pudding and sausages cooked together-) (toad in the hole) It's not something I would even try making but I like them because coarse pork is used instead of mince and they use sage in the recipe that I also like..
Every October there is a Lincolnshire sausage Festival sets up in the Lincoln Castle grounds. link below:
Crumpet research appears to agree they are an English invention and again I don't make them personally but think toasted with butter dripping through the holes with a decent strawberry/raspberry jam dolloped on top eaten warm yum! I only allow myself to eat crumpets a couple of times a year on a lazy sunday morning due to the high fat and sugar content
My favorite English muffin is made with butter and my favorite meal for this is a muffin split in half toasted with a scraping of butter covered with smoked salmon poached eggs and hollandaise sauce which is commonly termed as eggs royale or eggs benedict
Unfortunately after a little research muffins appear to be more american in origin than British but who cares when they taste so good

Iām from Lincolnshire! Always nice to see a bit of Lincolnshire representation in the Sims forums hahah
You are very welcome and i like the lincolnshire area not just your sausages
Haha thatās fine I absolutely loathe the sausages too!
Apologies for the way i wrote my last statement. I love lincolnshire sausages (only ones I eat ever) but i was trying to explain i love lincolnshire the area as well. Sorry for the confusion-)
You are very welcome and i like the lincolnshire area not just your sausages

I think you mis-read that as Sparky said she prefers Lincolnshire sausages! I tend to make my own sausages, Glamorgan vegetarian ones. They are mega yummy.

Although I will have foxes enabled, I have no desire to befriend them. The gameplay with them is a nice added challenge to managing a farm. I wonder how many will befriend the foxes.
Some may have noticed that I'm pro bunny. The little birds also welcome.
I'm just excited to have my Sim teach his future children about farming and being kind to animals once he's married. Yeah, some of this will be in my head. Yet, it would be nice if they add an interaction where a parent talks to their children about how to be kind to animals; how to care for plants and things like that.

I'm befriending foxes. And bunnies. And birds. And my llama. and my hens. My roosters will only be acquaintances.
I have a story in mind, but I think I'm going to run through a couple of weeks in a test save first so I'm less likely to be blindsided by something.
Still going to play with a spellcaster in both cases, though.

As a reminder: EA Staff and the Sims team are normally monitoring this forum
as they would everyday. The normal process from there side is not interrupted
by me having less time. The only downside will be that there's less organization,
less troubleshooting and bugs might not appear on the compiled list that fast.

This needs to be pinned at the top of every Category. It will help all of us. Can some moderator do this for us please?
Thanks for that information @simgirl1010

Crumpet research appears to agree they are an English invention and again I don't make them personally but think toasted with butter dripping through the holes with a decent strawberry/raspberry jam dolloped on top eaten warm yum! I only allow myself to eat crumpets a couple of times a year on a lazy sunday morning due to the high fat and sugar content
English crumpet recipe as follows:

My favorite English muffin is made with butter and my favorite meal for this is a muffin split in half toasted with a scraping of butter covered with smoked salmon poached eggs and hollandaise sauce which is commonly termed as eggs royale or eggs benedict
Unfortunately after a little research muffins appear to be more american in origin than British but who cares when they taste so good
Iām from Lincolnshire! Always nice to see a bit of Lincolnshire representation in the Sims forums hahah
You are very welcome
Haha thatās fine I absolutely loathe the sausages too!
Apologies for the way i wrote my last statement. I love lincolnshire sausages (only ones I eat ever) but i was trying to explain i love lincolnshire the area as well. Sorry for the confusion-)
I think you mis-read that as Sparky said she prefers Lincolnshire sausages! I tend to make my own sausages, Glamorgan vegetarian ones. They are mega yummy.
I understand that about your dislike of sausages and they are not my go to food either but occasionally I get the urge to eat them
@elanorbreton
Your vegetarian sausages sound delicious too!
@EA_Mari @EA_Lanna @EA_Joz I don't know who this should go to but please pass it on to the correct individual for consideration. Please look under the spoiler as this is very helpful information for existing and new users to the forum. (It is also listed in this thread.) If you could consider posting this in a banner above like the Friday highlights so that everyone knows where to access it.
The information will only be lost in individual threads. The search box is there; yet, this just makes it easier to find. Much appreciated.
Some may have noticed that I'm pro bunny. The little birds also welcome.
I'm just excited to have my Sim teach his future children about farming and being kind to animals once he's married. Yeah, some of this will be in my head. Yet, it would be nice if they add an interaction where a parent talks to their children about how to be kind to animals; how to care for plants and things like that.
I am one of those who will befriend a fox, but that will be very special fox
And therefore that fox shall leave bunnies and chickens alone
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
I'm befriending foxes. And bunnies. And birds. And my llama. and my hens. My roosters will only be acquaintances.
I have a story in mind, but I think I'm going to run through a couple of weeks in a test save first so I'm less likely to be blindsided by something.
Still going to play with a spellcaster in both cases, though.
