I dont believe for one minute that the use of beneficial predators in farming is a recent phenomena, it has to predate the use of chemical pest control. Surely ladybirds have been eating whitefly for many thousands of years, dont tell me no one noticed till post 1840

This is pretty close to how I play normally.

I love making my sims live off the land, since Seasons my sims dont go to work anymore. Obvioulsy I dont do the plumbing and water restriction thing but it woudlnt be that difficult to work it into my play mode, they can still have a tub after all. My sims dont have sinks in any case as they compost plates, but they do use a trash compactor so I guess that would be out with no electric.

I do have a stove that looks like a wood burning stove and I love it

The only aspiration award i use is the smart milk one, so I could live without it

The only time my sims visit a community lot is to buy clothes or to get married, so that s no big deal to do without

Ive built greenhouses, but I dont like them. So my sims dont garden in winter

I dont let my sims plant anything much till they have a supply of compost, they dont buy fertiliser

No phone! what a blessed relief that will be

Can we buy gym equipment? my sims get fat on homegrown food and they need to work it off, if not ill just have fat sims
