Homesteading! 

Okay, before I'm off to pickup my brother I wanted to put this out there to see what you all thought of a Homesteading Pack/Set. I'm shifting gears from the Farmers Market set I was working on because I'm confident that EA is either working on something similar, or working on something that's going to make me have to completely rework anything I create.

I'd like to get some ideas from you all on what you'd like to see and maybe some different ways you'd want stuff to function. I already have a couple of ideas I'm messing around with but I need to test out the tuning first.

So tell me what interactive objects, decorative objects, Aspirations, Traits, and New Skills you want to see! I'm really excited to try my hand at making a new skill.

Leave all those great ideas into the comments section below!!!

I know that Icemunmun replied to a tweet from me a while back about making something like this. If I remember right she said something about them being like a harvestable almost that you get wood from. If it were possible to have the ability to chop wood and use it on the woodworking table that would be amazing!! I also noticed the other day that the extra furniture that was created or maybe the menu that enables it is no longer working. I really need to have the ability to make all of my furniture. Those added pieces were great because they allowed toy making and toddler potties! Everything you need for a house!! Also adding something like a pottery wheel with soil you can collect to make the clay maybe. I want cotton that can be used to make curtains and clothing even if we cant wear it just a pile to sell is great! And one of the things I NEED most right now is something that either recolors or can replace the "pet food" so when I use dogs and cats that look like cows and livestock the food they eat isnt still kibble!! Also since I think you are working on gardening for kids, I would love to see kids at least be able to learn skills they cant use with books!

I love the idea of chopping wood, but it's probably going to have to wait until I learn to animate better. The harvestable thing will definitely work and I have some other great ideas for that, keep an eye out for upcoming posts. If the menu is not working and it's an EA thing it's likely because they're changing it or fixing it. I'm going to be looking at it at some point though I'll let you know what I find. Pottery wheel would be cool, but again, the animations are the hard part. I could always to something similar to what pbox did and set up a system for making pottery with the clay blob. I might even be able to just use/update his code. Then you can find clay dirt while you're scavenging, bring it home and work it into moldable clay ;) Cloth would be fun! I could make some bolts using the stuff I separated from the JA table. Let me think about how I could implement it though. Let me look at the gardening for kids as a skill. It might be complicated though because it'd have to transfer when they age up and I don't know what that looks like.

I thought of something else I am not sure I mentioned before. I have mentioned it on a few videos but is it possible to make different options for what pet food looks like? Something so if I make or use a cat or dog that's meant to be a farm animal that the food isn't just kibble?

This is as easy as changing the texture. I can add this to the list it shouldn't take me more than a half hour to complete.
