Animal Petting Farm / Zoo

I love building multi-functional lots and this one is no exception. It started out as a large farm and quickly turned into a farm with a farm/craft store on the property and then I thought ... What if ... this was a fully running business, like a petting Farm, where families can come for a day out, in the countryside, feeding and playing with farm animals, whilst enjoying a picnic or a bbq or buying something at the food stall! Now we all know you can't technically have a multi-functional lot in The Sims 4 but there are ways around it and with just a little imagination, it can feel quite immersive.

So 3 ways to play:
1) A residential farm, where you run it just as a farm and/or you could throw"parties" that would make it appear as though there were people visiting the petting farm all the time, could even cheat an entrance fee, so that it seems like a business.

2) A retail store - I have to confess though, the store is not setup to be run perfectly, you'll need to remove quite a few items so that the sims can reach the items being sold but still very doable. As an owner you'll just need to lock the doors to the house and you can live on the lot, no need to leave. Could be a fun way to play!

3) Petting Farm - For this version, I set it as a park and you'll notice the build is slightly different to the video as I had to add in benches and chess tables. Anyway this worked perfectly, the park was busy, sims could interact with all the animals, clean, feed, talk and play ... PERFECT!! The only hassle will be the doors to the house, you can't lock them if you don't own the lot so you'll have to delete all entrances to the house in order to keep the sims out of the house but that was the only issue for me, everything else worked well!

Anyway, whichever way you wish to play this lot, I hope you enjoy it!
