A Did You Know Thread On Cottage Living

> * Even the NPCs (not in the world sims) have backstories here! For example, Rahmi Watson had an affair with the mayor, Kim Goldbloom has a crush on the creature keeper etc.

Ohhh The Tea!

Wild foxes can steal eggs!

Something I haven't seen mentioned: if you put a ginormous pumpkin, watermelon, lettuce or aubergine on the ground and click on it, you have the option to turn it into a decorative item. I've been doing that with my pumpkins, since I'm still not able to use them for canning.

For the mushroom, however, there is a different option: you can turn your toadstool into a stool. Your Sims can sit on it, knit on it, or do anything else they can do on a non-dining chair. It's not very pretty, but useful.

If you sell your items at the town during a fair, you get a 10% profit. If you previously haggle before selling the item, you get a 25% profit! I find this great for small producers who still want to make a living. It also gives you an excuse to keep on visiting the fairs.
