A new Blog is up that’s all about tomorrows new set and Premium Content.
Check out what Designer Alan Copeland has to say about how (and why) he designed the all-new premium content set: Country Livin’.
Don’t forget to pick up the Country Livin’ Set from The Sims 3 Store on April 4, 2013.
While I enjoy designing all of the different premium content for The Sims 3 Store, I have a special place in my heart for any object that we can add some of that classic Sims humor into. This is just one of the reasons I’m particularly excited about our latest set, Country Livin’, which includes the Fowl and Feathers Chicken Coop!
Finally eggs don’t just grow on plants anymore. Not only can you get basic eggs every morning, but you can also collect rare exotic eggs that give your Sim a boost to fun and the new Egg-static moodlet! Want more opportunities to collect eggs? Just remember to feed your chickens and you’ll also get an additional egg harvest in the evening.

If it’s getting a little lonely down on the farm, go talk to your chicken about important things like why they cross the road. If you’re lucky, your Sim might get some Universal Enlightenment (new moodlet!).
But if you’re not so lucky, you may run into Charles the Evil Chicken. Charles is kinda a jerk. He’ll sometimes come out to argue with your Sim or fling an insult or two about your Sim’s lineage. Keep arguing and your Sim might have to teach him a thing or two about who rules the roost in a chicken fight.

If ye feel lonely on the farm, you can with your chickens about such important things as talk the reason that they cross the street. If you’re lucky, your Sim can even see General enlightenment (new mood)!
If matching wits with the Evil Chicken scares your Sim away from collecting eggs for a couple of days, the eggs might just hatch into baby chicks! Your Sim can get plenty of fun and social from playing with these cute and cuddly little guys, not to mention the new Chick Magnet moodlet.
However, there is so much more to this set than just the Fowl and Feathers Chicken Coop. There are some great new décor objects that can make any home have that extra touch of country.

I’m really curious as to how the woman is holding the plant in the last shot! Are there some super-secret machinima tips that I’m not aware of… or is that some new interaction (maybe from the gardening gloves)?
The Black Scorpion
Oh how I wish they included this with Pets!
MapleSim: I know right! I thought that as well I don’t know how they did it.
Sean – Guess we were both crazy 😀 I was kinda hoping for a throwback to actually having to maintain houseplants ala Sims 1, but I guess that would probably be a little much for a store set!
Yeah would be cool, im all for more realism also!
