So I was just playing the game when I noticed a new announcement in the main menu! A new expansion pack called Cottage Living will be released on July 22. It looks so promising. I love the idea of mo...

@IrisuChan and @DonroaAkashu , I am very excited about this pack! This fits right into my gameplay 🥳 as well as my aesthetic 😍 !
There wasn't a thing in the trailer or that I heard that I didn't love! 🥰 It will probably be in my top 3 Expansion Packs for sure! Right up there with Seasons and Cats & Dogs! 🥳
I've been waiting for farming to come to the Sims for about 18 years! 😅 Ever since the original Sims released Unleased (which introduced pets , along with pesky critters like skunks, racoons, roaches, and mice! That gave me the idea of a farm expansion pack... I did make a farm family and had them garden and gave them a dog and a cat , dressed them in old-fashioned clothing , and tried to give them a house that didn't' look modern at all , as if they lived off the grid! It looked nice but it wasn't really a farm! Now I can actually have one ! 🥳
@PugLove888 Yes, I thought of you when I watched the trailer, that you would be happy!
Edit: So now that I have looked some more on it, it seems there will be swimmable water, at least in the world, that is a very nice feature! I hope the ducks in the water have interactions, but even if they are just decor I like them. I like the fox, the way it looks and that they have added a predator; I hope it will be fun to engage with it. And yes, the limitations of what can be cooked is a long requested feature I am glad they add now, for I have many sims I want to be living a life of strife, or at least a life where not everything is provided at their doorstep. If this Lot Challenge is a lot trait I will make use of it for many households in my playsave. Yes, the more I read about it the better it seems.@DonroaAkashu , well we won't be able to actually swim in the ponds, just splash around the edges (great for children!). And we can stock them with fish. Here is a tweet about it from a Sim Guru Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) / Twitter
I think I also heard that there will be a river in the new world/neighborhood so that might be were we see Sims swimming in deeper water. But I do remember noticing in the trailer that there was a child splashing on the edge of the pond. So I think some people are confusing the two.
Yes, I'm addicted to gardening, even if it is just a few plants. So my Sims in apartments have a hard time and can only grow a few things and no trees! Did you notice that it looked like kids can help cook in this pack?!?! I also heard that you can find different color bunnies by searching for them in the "wild"! 🐰🐇
There will probably be quite a few new Challenges that people can participate in if they wish with this pack. And some updates to existing challenges, I would assume! 🥳
I would think the Lot Challenge would be a lot trait, but it is possible they could implement it another way. 🤔
And yes, I'm very, very excited about this pack! 🥳🥰🍄🥳@PugLove888 Oh, I was hoping someone would post so that I could post again! I am getting more excited about this pack, because it looks in the trailer as if the water is built on the editable lot, which means there is a natural pond tool added, which you confirm! Thank you for the link, I don't read twitter, so that was helpful. I have looked forward to a pond tool for a long time, and will use it extensibly. I don't even care that the sims only can splash in it. Perhaps they will add to it further on.
And I am sorry, but I tried to ignore the rabbit, and I don't play with children; but I like the bird singing, I think I will add that tree to many lots!
