Re: Cottage living won't appear in my game.

@Jones0898  Please clear the EA App's cache:

https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

and repair the game: open your game library, hover over the Sims 4 icon, click the three dots, and select Repair.

If that doesn't help, please list your game version number.  Load the game to the Main Menu, where you can choose to load a save or start a new one, and look along the bottom of the screen or in the lower-right area.  Please list the entire version number, i.e. 1.xx.xxx.xxxx.
