They should definitely update that! Also kids should be able to open the mailbox!

Ugh, yeah, I remember that. It is the WORST idea for a standalone pack.
You can make it sound as tedious as you want to but clearly yall forgot Farmville was a thing for a minute. We begged EA to let us do a chore like laundry why do people think there'd be nobody in to farming? Lol we are a species who hate real chores and enjoy simulated chores. I'd enjoy real chores more if I could sit while I do them too

I feel really strongly that the life has gone out of the game and for that I feel dreadfully sorry. I still remember my husband bring me home the first Sims game on a disc nearly 20 years ago and despite have actual children of my own to look after I still loved finding some time every now and again to look after pretend people. I had hoped the game would run and run, but I suppose that is silly, nothing lasts forever and why should Sims.
Having horses and potentialy other animals sounds very exciting to me. Also, I like nature related activities and am totally up for a more rustic cozy vibe. I think Sims 4 is too modern and tecnological sometimes.
In the days before everything was so regulated in the UK, my mum planted blackcurrant, redcurrant and gooseberry bushes at the bottom of our smallish urban garden and made some profit selling to neighbours. I had to pick a lot of the currants unfortunately but her blackcurrant and apple pies were to die for!
I did farming in TS3 and sure there was plenty to do, but the devs made it so that the plants and animals would be okay if you don't tend to them everyday. I had my sims take two days off each week, sometimes consecutively, but most of the time three days apart. Also, you have to not over do things - if you don't have the other store items that make farming easier, just start with a small plot of land for your plants and trees. Most of them will produce a whole lot before their time is up and you have to replant. Also, when I wanted my sims to take off for a longer time, I just use the Traveller mod to send them to another world. Horses can take care of themselves - just keep some hay around and pasture to let them run around. The chickens also won't die if you don't feed them, you just won't get eggs. Start feeding them again to fix that. Same thing with the cows.
I had a couple work the farm so it didn't take all day to get things done. They had time to make and eat full meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also had plenty of time to do fun things too and socialize with other people.
So if the devs ever add such a farming pack to TS4, I'm pretty sure they will make it so that the farming life is not all-consuming!
i think the reason why it would do great in TS4 is because there's other things to do besides farming. especially with other DLC installed, you're not stuck always farming, you can do other things.
plus its not so much farming we're asking for its more country living we're asking for. so there'd be other things to do besides tending to plants and plowing fields. things like farmers market, town fair (like sims 3 seasons had), horse training, mechanical bull, etc. then if you want, go to the city and do something there, that's what i like about the sims, its not focused on one thing.

Both my parents grew up in super-small farming communities but moved to the capital for studies and jobs. I just grew up with their stories of farmlife. Would be fun to live it out in the Sims.
That’s what I’m thinking about too, chicken coop and maybe cows. And more off-the-grid stuff.
Could be fun!
Excellent post! This is the first post that has actually made me want a farming pack.
