Sims could have small family farms where the kids can help raise the veggies and animals. I'd love to see working tractors and other kinds of equipment, even a workable dairy barn, with all breeds of cattle and you can make different breeds like you can in pets. You could have the animals give birth and sell the offspring at the local auction.
Then there is the whole OFB take on farming and ranching, where sims can make a living off their work by selling the produce/animals. You could even have fish farms.
Let's have a hoedown, a barn-raising, a country harvest. There could be cellars for the root veggies and stand-by tornado shelters, and silos for the grain.
Of course there would have to be new musical instruments added, like banjos, mandolins, washboards and harmonicas.
Ok, I'm in. This sounds like a fun new twist.:clap:
Oo great ideas! I didn't even think about musical instuments, or working machinery. Let alone tornados, cellars. Silos! We could even have the aliens making crop circles. lol We need to add potatoes too, so the children can have potato sack races. This Ep could open up more opportunities too for the sims with the Young Farmers club. They could earn ribbons at the fair, learn to care for animals. EA can just hand us the reigns, we'll show 'em how these things are done.
