You will be able to pack your picnic basket and bring it to some very scenic locations in Henford-On Bagley. Once placed on a table you will be able to set up a picnic with a single interaction off the basket.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
You can put the picnic basket in your Sims inventory, and enjoy a picnic on any table, and in any world.

You will be able to breed chickens if you have a Rooster and a Hen in the same coop.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
We actually tied Canning to the cooking skill, but we do have a new skill coming in the pack. More info to come soon.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
A hint… you can see one of the children doing it in the trailer.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
Correct, Cows, Llamas, and Chickens will not take up a household slot. You will be able to place an Animal Shed and purchase either a cow or llama for the shed. You will also be able to purchase a chicken coop and have up to 8 chickens per coop.

We added a handful of new recipes to this pack to fit the cottage theme. Milk Bread is one of them.
We added the ability to cook with a group of Sims. So, kids will not cook on their own but they can help their parents to make it a family activity!
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
Bunnies and Birds can be found out in the wild. As you befriend these cuddly creatures you can purchase a rabbit or bird home for your lot to have them show up more often. They can also help out in the garden! These animals will also not take up a slot in your household. =D
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
One of my favorite locations in this pack is the ruins in the forest.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
You are correct. Each shed will house a single cow or llama. But we intentionally did not build fences around the sheds, so you can place a couple sheds, in a fenced off area, next to each other and have a mini pasture of cows if you wanted.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
These bunnies are not imbued with magical powers.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
nope
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
You will be able to build relationship and name the rabbits, so they will hang around your lot a lot. It is almost like having them as a pet, without having to cage them. They are free spirits. =D
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
Once you befriend them you can place their home on any lot, but initially you will only find them in the new world.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
We also added some additional things to children. More info to come =D
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
You can name THEM ALL!!! My personal chicken names are:
– Hen Solo
– Chewbacca
– Cluck Vader
– Kylo Hen
– PhilI know I am a nerd…
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
Animals will eventually die of old age, but there are ways to keep them alive forever if you choose.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
Yes
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
Nope
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
These foxes are true wild foxes. What this means is you will not be able to add them to your household like you can in Cats & Dogs. You will also not need to own pets to see them roaming around.
These foxes are vary devious, and they love to steal chickens!
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
3 neighborhoods with 4 lots each.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
They looooove rabbit. You need to keep them safe!
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
There will be a lot more info around animal clothing soon, but animals will not do it autonomously. Have you ever seen a rabbit knit their own sweater? that's crazy talk =p
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
More information about befriending these wild animals soon, but yes all the wild animals in this pack will have relationships with your Sims, through a brand new gifting system.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
We created a new "Lot Challenge" system, more info on that soon. All the lots in the new world will start with the "Wild Fox" challenge enabled.
If you don't want foxes to pester you, you will be able to disable that challenge, but who doesn't want a cute cuddly fox hanging out?
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
We actually created all new animations for the fox. They will skulk about your lot and act more fox like. They also will get into your chicken coop.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
Cows and Llamas will stay near their sheds, but they have a generous area for them to roam around in.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
You will be able to negate the simolean cost for all knitting items by using Llama Wool.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
We are adding a good variety of male clothing for this pack.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
There is 1 64×64 in the countryside neighborhood. That is where we have our largest lots.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
You will only be able to breed Chickens.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
You can see them being hugged and cared for in the trailer =D
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
You will be able to purchase beef, chicken, and other ingredients from the local shop in town, or order it through the new Grocery Deliver service.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
We do not have a traditional career in the sense, but Sims can absolutely make a living raising and caring for their animals and new giant produce.
There is also a system that we will talk about soon, called Village Errands. The locals will have lots for your Sims to do!
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
Market Stall.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
They are not pets that you have to feed and constantly care for. They are pretty self sufficient. You can place their homes on your lot, assuming you have enough relationship with them. They will come and go as they please.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
I am excited about the new deathS for this pack. More info soon. Also we do have a new woohoo spot =D
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
Animals will not get sick. They do die of old age tho. There are ways for you to keep them alive longer if you choose.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) June 10, 2021
Yes
