You only can have one barn per animal and in front you have your cow, when you want more you have to add every time a new barn and you can't breed them to have babies! pretty lam!

    • I also feel like that, I haven't been interested in a DLC for YEARS and this kinda sounds like a decent pack with gameplay. I still think it's too late to salvage the game tho... Might I add that I only think it's decent bc it will integrate great with existing mods, which shouldn't be a thing, the pack should be able to stand by itself. But then again, you can't expect anything from EA.

    • @@AuttumnDawn I live next to Amish land, Pa and surrounded by country everywhere, and I think the difference is what you're using the land for. Because the larger farms were for vegetation, not animal stock. Sometimes, animal breeders would have large plots of land. This is because these are money maker farms, specifically for rearing as much produce as you can to sell it. but this pack seems to be focused on the lifestyle aspect and not the industrial, so if you're just raising animals to feed your family, a small farm is better because it's lower maintenance. It would've been cool to have a sort of lifestyle vs industrial aspect to this pack, to continue the theme of Eco lifestyle and really give that pack more playability.
