Are you buying Cottage Living?

Unless it's revealed that my alien sims can abduct the animals, vampire sims can make new plasma packs with them or that ghosts can possess them, then I'm probably going to abstain for now.

I bought it.

Already preordered it

Definitely on release day! I have been wanting a pack like this for such a long time and I adore the build mode content!! I think the extra items for buying early are cute, but they aren't really influencing my decision. I just really want this pack!

It's not really a pack that interests me right now, but we'll see when it's out if I'll change my mind!

Usually I wait for a BoGo 50% off sale, I think Discover University, and Cottage Living will be the choices...

I typically wait until the tutorials/guides come out (the ones that explain in detail how each part of the pack works and what you can do with it) before making a decision about any game pack or expansion pack. And then I wait until I have an idea how I might want to use some of those features. And then if I decide I want it, I wait for a sale.

There have been a couple exceptions, like Snowy Escape and Realm of Magic where I got super excited right from the start. But most packs have included a mix of features I want and features I don't want or don't like the way they were done, so I have a hard time deciding.

With Cottage Living, I want the world (I always want more worlds, and especially I want more rural worlds with secluded lots), and I like that it looks like kids get some more things they can do. But I'm not happy about the cows and llamas being tied to an object that has to be placed on the lot. For some reason the chicken coops don't bother me, but the cow and llama sheds do. I'd rather build my own housing structures for them.

And I feel like at this point, I have a lot of questions about various aspects of the pack that I so far haven't seen clear answers to. So I'll need a lot more information before making a decision.

I am definitely buying when it's on sale! I wish I could buy it as soon as it's released because I love the concept and I can already think of a million things I want to try. But alas I can't afford it so I'll have to wait!

The things I love so far: all the animals (especially the LLAMAS!), Mrs. Crumplebottom, the jams, the picnic basket, the crops and teaching your kids to bake. I'm very excited to have a farm. I think playing this pack along with Cats and Dogs, Knifty Knitting and Seasons will be so much fun. I can't wait!

Also, I was thinking just before the trailer dropped on how much I'd rather have sheep than horses in game. I watched the Farmland mod trailer and the sheep are so fluffy and cute. And there's also the yarn the sims could use. My surname means sheep so I'm slightly obsessed irl. And then someone on youtube said something about how EA should make llamas because they'd work more or less the same and they are so iconic to the franchise. I completely agreed... and the next day the trailer dropped with llamas! I was so happy, I couldn't care less about the horses at that moment.

I'll either pre-order it or buy on release!

Regretfully, I think I am...LOL

I really wanted a pack like this so here is hoping for the best *sigh*
