Cottage Living Anomalies or Bugs
I'm enjoying the pack so far, it's got some potential. ๐ However; A sim takes FOREVER to cross the world. They walk when they should run, run when they should walk and generally wet themselves or ...

Thank you for moving this to where it should be. ๐
@tommynocker001 Buy a bike for each sim. It's the quickest way to get around the HoB neighborhoods.
@FluidPanNerd yeah thats honestly probably the biggest benefit to the early purchase (purchase before sept 2) bonus items in real life if one doesn't already own Discover University or Eco-Lifestyle (and of course being able to actually play the pack lol).
I have an issue that began after installing the latest Cottage Living Add on. The Chefs at Restaurants, regardless if is an unmanaged restaurant or one I own, the Chef (s) stand still outside the restaurant for almost four REALTIME minutes!!!! They wait outside the restaurant huffing and puffing while the restaurant gets full with clients at the tables and THEN, 3-4 real minutes later they walk in and do their jobs. Been taking out my MODS and the issue still there. Anyone else experienced this?
This was a reported bug on this forum years ago, and supposedly got fixed with a patch later on.
This happens outside my house too. The only option is a quit and restart!
I have 'broken arm' animations happening all over the place. Books, milk drinking, pet grooming...
@FluidPanNerd The bike is a good idea and works quite well, but racks up bodybuilding skill, which is just another unwanted skill in a list of unwanted skills. Just because I run does not mean I'm a marathon runner, or because I gain air when falling down the stairs that I'm learning to fly! ๐
- @tommynocker001 It builds fitness fairly slowly if the only fitness you're doing is biking from one place to another, you *might* just keep your sim in shape. But people here have provided you with options and solutions and you're shutting them down left and right. If you don't like the game, why even play?
@FluidPanNerd Not at all. I've purchased a bicycle and use it to fetch and carry all the mushrooms and fruits in the area. It was a smart idea... it's just that skill.
I wish there was a way to choose whether I want a bicycle to fetch and carry mushrooms or train to be an Olympiad. The idea that I choose to not have that skill is taken away from me. It would be a simple fix, that one. Have all skills (max 3) develop in the background and allow me to choose which skills I want to appear in the skill bars. Have a max of four skill bars when a sim is new and allow us, the players, to buy more skill bars from the rewards store as and when we choose, if we choose.
Nobody is being shut down or brushed aside here, all players are welcome to have an approach or ideas; I've incorporated some and struggled with others, but listened to all.
Why play? I've been with the sims since the first, always enjoyed the game in all it's various forms, but always been left wanting... a little more gameplay.
- @FluidPanNerd My only issue with that, they use the bike EVERYWHERE. Even inside the house. *facepalm* But otherwise, you're right.
