I'm considering getting a new game. I'm a big fan of the 'My Time at'
series and similar "cozy" farm/build types, preferably with minimal and
not too difficult fighting (if any). But I'm also hankering for an
"open world - go explore" kind of setting.

Any suggestions on games that combine those well?

I would recommend "Nasty Farm Fuckers"
or even the old classic "Pony Pussy"
Both show animal penis & copulation with people.

It's not really a typical 'builder' game, in that there's no meat to
the strategy, but maybe take a look at "Tiny Glade"? It might be a bit light-weight for you; it's more of a 3D architecture tool than a
proper game as you don't have to worry about resources or constraints
on your constructions. All you do is build stuff that you think looks
neat. You don't even get to walk around the towns, really, since most
of the 'action' is from a top-down perspective.

There's no real exploration, though; your build area is fairly
constrained and you see it all from the start.

Still, "Tiny Glade" is fairly easy to figure out, and there's a lot of
hidden tricks you can use to make more complicated structures than
would seem initially possible. There's more depth in the game that
initially seems.

My only real complaint is with the game's limited assets (although, as mentioned, this can be stretched out by clever hackery) and the lack
of any population/sims that would give your creations 'life'. Still,
it makes for some pretty screenshots ;-)

But --depending on how much joy you get from building-- it can be
quite relaxing.

[Similar games I've tried include "Townscaper" and "Dystopika"]

Doesn't sound like what I'm looking for, no "wander around exploring aspect.

Alternately, if you just want to wander... try a hunting game! Just
don't hunt; instead, head for those hills in the distance and enjoy
the scenery! Often there are odd ruins and structures and other things
to find along the way. You usually can't do much with them but they're
pretty to look at and make for interesting diversions.

And if the wandering starts to tarnish as the bloodlust rises... well,
Bambi's always waiting in the bushes and you have a shotgun. ;-)
