I’m wondering how groceries work. I’ve downloaded SRSLY’s cooking overhaul before because I really hate the fridge always being full thing.

Could “grocery store” be a new lot type placeable in any world? I’m really hoping if you have the lot challenge on you don’t always have to go to Henford on Bagley to get groceries.

The "grocery store" is just a stall. It'll most likely just be in the town square area, like in the videos. Also, they mentioned before that we will have the option of having groceries delivered to our homes. There will not be a grocery lot for our sims to visit and shop.

I just watched DrGluon reacting to the new trailer and he finally got his wish through... to get a fez on Sims 4. It's just for chickens, though.
It was hilarious when he lost it when he saw the fez on a chicken. :D

For me it will probably boil down to "Can I still find builds and Sims that doesn't require this pack on the gallery or is it worth paying a ton of cash to avoid frustration?".

I mean it looks better made than I thoughts, and about 20% of it looks great. But i will not at all use the rest.

It looks cute & all (for some reason, I thought that the fox alarm was adorable, lol), but I don’t think that it really fits my style of gameplay. I’ll probably wait to get this one!

So small details that I'm curious about:

Theres a well by the house in the beginning (at 0:28 when they first show the logo/title) I hope its functional or that we can make wishes

The tea pot with a couple little cups that are shown throughout the trailer (1:52 on the corner counter) I hope that functions like the spritzer drinks we got from spa day so we can serve tea without the machine!

I hope the new stove and fridge are available off the grid since that would tie in well - the stove has little doors on it that would be used for lighting it

Im also hoping that the crops/plots you can place for the oversized produce can also be used for normal seeds - it would make farming look a lot more realistic + less tedious than having to plan out where to put terrain paint

It IS nice that it's another Not-American world, at least.

I could not help myself, but had to make a blog post with 40 pictures and whatever new info I managed to pick up during that trailer :)

Right now I'm excited for the 16 x canning, cross stitch by reference, lots of new kitchen decor, and that also animals can be entered the contest in the village. I wish we had a world map by now, but hey ho :)

canning which is pretty clearly just herbalism recycled, cross stitching is blatantly just knitting recycled

Kind of, yes. But... people have been asking for canning and asking for cross stitching, and they gave them to us.

I'm not sure there would have been any logical way to make either of them that didn't recycle a bit from previous skills, and I'd still much rather have them than not.

That's true, but it doesn't really give a good impression on the pack when a quarter of the trailer is spent showing off recycled content

The British Llama was a great narrator after all these über-excited women in the previous trailers.

What a breath of fresh air for a change. I’d rather have Harold the Llama do all the VO’s from now on than having to listen to all this other pretentious squeaking. No offense. ?

Plus they totally did the Richard Ayoade on that one. Did anyone else notice or do folks here even know who he is? (IT Crowd, Crystal Maze).
