Farm DLC - Any better or worth it?

[Eric4bz]

Less interested in the farming and missions (treat them more like tutorials) and more interested in the custom house part, though I've heard a few horror stories about that.

Want to know if that was ever fixed or if it's still broken and laggy.

You need to do the jobs to unlock the tools required to build your own houses

I'm aware of that. More concerned of the 'buggy, broken and laggy' performances that earlier reviews left behind. Reviews have more or less stopped so want some input on that before deciding.

Performance issues seem more tied to the new maps due to size than the actual dlc, additionally the custom house part seems kinda overpowered. You can add on a feature to a house, and the price instantly jumps.

Tools themselves are kinda neich as well. Chainsaw is neat but outside of the farm it's just a sort of "auto axe", drone is useless, grappling hook is neich, and the paint sprayer is OK if you prefer to have painted exteriors(which you can only do, no inside)

Animals still have bugs.
Some animals are forced to shut down the game if they pet or snack.

Since others seem to have missed your comment about "more interested in the custom house part," I'll address it:

Some of it works fairly well, other parts are still buggy and sometimes infuriating. For instance, if you build the roof and then place ceiling lights, be 100% sure where you're placing the ceiling lights because you can't move them without selling the roof first. The pointer will select BOTH the ceiling light and the roof, and will not give you the option to move the light, only to interact with the roof. (Speaking from experience of having sold/re-bought the roof to one house many times, costing thousands of dollars. I have plenty of money, but still.)

Other things are basically annoying, which may or may not have to do with the Farm DLC in particular; e.g. placing baseboards (floor moldings) that then force you to place furniture away from the wall due to collision, or some furniture not fitting at all because of floor moldings, which then results in either placing the furniture (e.g. kitchen cabinets) and omitting that part of the floor molding, which leaves a gap, or installing the floor molding and not being able to place the (cabinet) flush with the wall, as it would be in a real house.

Oh, and if you try to work off actual architectural plans, as I did, you'll find out how wonky the "measurements" are in the game. XD

I love it, its kinda like a farm villle take care of animals and crops. Mu suggestion is that they add a way to harvest fruit and more seeds to plant. there are only 5 right now. It says to feed your animals an apple a day but i dont know how to get them.
