Working Farm Animals
For the sims 2 I had found a great mod where there were animated animals who moved around, laid eggs or could be traded in for meat depending on the animal. Now the sims 2 won't work on my PC therefore I bought the sims 3. Now we have horses is there any actual real working farm animals to add to a ranch? I'm not interested in animals who don't do anything other than move. I'm looking for ones who can produce things either by sending trading them in (slaughter) or gaining things like eggs from chickens that sims can actually use to cook with and sell. The more advanced they are the better (i.e having to look after them, feed them and keep them clean).

House Boats
Searching for house boat plots that are larger than the originals OR if that isn't possible different hull shapes.

Horse and Cart
Working horse and carts would be awesome. There could even be cart racing if it is possible or some kind of competition to do with horses and carts. If not just being able to earn money by giving other sims a ride in your cart would be great.

Futuristic Things
Futuristic building items (roof, fence ect..) is what i'm hoping to find.

There's this functional hen: http://linna.modthesims.info/download.php?t=526169
The hen isn't animated, but requires watering and will produce harvestable eggs.

From the Store:
Chicken Coop (allows you to feed the chickens and harvest eggs): http://store.thesims3.com/productDe...ategoryId=13177
Dairy Corral (allows you to feed the cows, collect milk, and turn the milk into cheese): http://store.thesims3.com/productDe...ategoryId=13177

These animals were based on the dogs from the Pets EP, and could therefore help you collect rocks, gems, and metals:

Sheep: http://linna.modthesims.info/download.php?t=475946

I haven't seen any working horse-and-carts that actually use the horses from the Pets EP.
The closest thing would be cars that look like horse-drawn carriages, in which the "horse" is just an object attached to the vehicle: http://linna.modthesims.info/showth...hlight=carriage

Nexus Mods has downloads for deer and raccoons. I did not have much luck with the deer and Meeka raccoon but Meeko.sim works just fine. The problem I had was minor and probably due to something I had in my game. Meeko.sim will look deformed in CAS but as noted by the creator this is normal and the animal appears in game as it should look.

Here are some beautiful houseboats (scroll down the page to view):
The Floating Barn By Ruby Red
Blue Houseboat by Ruby Red
Houseboat Galosh by Tanitas8 at Helen Sims

Note: The above houseboats come with lots of CC but well worth the download. I have just about every lot these creators have offered and never had a problem with any of the downloads.

The Sailing Melody Houseboat by PolarBearSims here at MTS is another one of my favorites.
