New expension pack Cottage Living out 22 July

@sapphirelover1 ,  when I lived in an apartment we would have some bunnies visit our porch!  I read that they love parsley and that it is good for them, so would buy extra just for them!  (I also tried lettuce since my friend's pet bunny loved it, and carrots, but they liked the parsley best! 💗  Maybe if the carrots still had their tops they would have preferred that?)  

I think pigs are tricky... while you can keep a cow for milk, and therefore keep the cow alive, most people usually only keep pigs for meat on a farm (Arnold Zifflel not withstanding! 🤣  Watch the old TV show Green Acres if you don't know what I mean! 🥰 ) So while some people keep pigs for pets, most farms don't.  Yes, I would love to have pigs in the game, but that would pose some problems.  Now, if they ever were to make a Unusual Pets pack, with pigs, snakes, otters, iguanas, etc, that would work better!  🥳

@DonroaAkashu I like your idea of having pigs search for plant items.  You said "quorns" so I am guessing you meant "acorns' .  They could also find truffles!🤤  (But I guess that would mean we would have to take them camping with us in Outdoor Living! 🤣 )

@SheriGR , yes I love the bird feeder as well! 🐦 And I'm glad you found that we can fish if we stock the ponds! 🐟  I will also do both Off and On the Grid farming!  🥰  And I love your builds .  While they look great, what is best is that I can rely on them since you playtest them! 🙌 I can't tell you how many times I have fallen for a pretty or cool build, only to be disappointed that I have to change things to make it playable... or worse , that I can't figure out how to make it playable at all! 😥

@IrisuChan Welcome to the Sims ! 🥰 So happy you are enjoying it!!! 🥳  I assume having to use foods that you harvest (be it plants or eggs, milk, or fish) would be a Lot Trait, but I could be wrong.  I can't wait for the Developer's Livestream on this!!! We don't know when that will be, but they stream it on Twitch.  I'm glad you are enjoying Backyard Stuff!  I really love some of the clutter items and things like the flower pinwheel decorative item . I forget what it is called.  I enjoy the bright colors in that pack! 

@SheriGR and @DonroaAkashu , I actually prefer a bit bigger lots.  Medium size is good (Call me Goldilocks, even though my hair is not blonde!)  For some Sims I like small lots, others large lots , but most I like medium lots!   However, i find when I build, I build best on small lots with the Tiny Living requirements!! 
Also, I think the part of the trailer that you can see Sims swimming and not on the edge is from the river that comes with this world/neighborhood.  I believe I read that somewhere.  I could be wrong, but I heard it from someone else, possibly a Game Changer or a Sim Guru, but it could be a comment I read somewhere.  It would make sense! 
I've never heard of "hen tipping"... only cow tipping! 🤔

@3Rosez , yes, I'm still guessing that the new death is "Death by Chicken Attack"!!!   Also, there was a Sims 3 Sims Store that had a cow and chicken you could buy and if you tipped the cow you could milk it and get a Milk Shake! 😮🤭  But I'm not sure since I never bought the items as that Sims 3 Store was waaaaaaaay too expensive! I would get a few items but that was it.  I'm so glad they don't have that for the Sims 4! 😅
However, that was many years ago... I'm thinking they might not have cow tipping in the game because that is unnecessarily mean to the cows. 
Also, I think one of the Sim Gurus stated that there would be at least one large lot in the new world.  I think we will need some bigger ones if we want to have a full farm with lots of produce planted , and also if you want a family with a lot of kids!  Sadly I don't' remember what size was quoted. 
Now, as to how many lots we get in the world is anyone's guess.  I think that depends on how big the lots are to begin with! 😉

Also, I wonder if the kids helping with the cooking will be with all recipes or just the new ones that come with the pack. I also hope kids can now water plants!!!! That is something that they should have been able to do from the beginning!!!  I can see not letting them use bug spray, and even weeding can be strenuous and time consuming, but watering is quick and most real life  kids like helping in that manner. 🌼🌷🌹

While Knitting was my top vote, I would have loved Glass-blowing as well.  I hope we get it one day, and pottery as well!  I don't know what the number 2 vote was after knitting, but even if cross-stitch wasn't #2, I think the main reason that we will get it in this pack is it gives a use for the llama's wool for those players that don't have the Nifty Knitting SP!   The only thing that would have been better to use the llama wool  than cross-stitching would have been Weaving! 💗
