Cottage Living Picture Thread

I only just finished my uni sim's term, so now I get a chance to play in HoB. My first couple:

I enjoyed watching the hens and the rooster.

And fishing down by the mill:

Kudos to the team for giving kids so much to do with this pack. I'm genuinely (and pleasantly) surprised.

Well it's a work in progress but I've found a workaround for the very stupid choice of not giving us swimmable ponds.

I played for a while in an alternate save with the main family in Evergreen Harbor, utilizing a little bit of both packs for funzies. I added just a few things to my active families lot but I wanted the chickens the most and it seemed appropriate for a quasi-self sustainable homestead. I have to say despite the odd glitches that came with the patch, the game play and items are on point and enjoyable. I love chickens in real life and have had a few as pets. These are pretty close to the real thing, except mine would ride on my bicycle's handlebars and I cruised around. :smiley:
Such a cute little thing, so glad they didn't do low poly critters like in other items.

So glad the chickens wander willy-nilly wherever they wish, I think it's funny when they wander in the house.

I am absolutely in love with CL aesthetics and the animals <3

Since I am still waiting for some mods to be updated to be able to play my main save in the meanwhile I created a new sim - Lily Moony who lives near the waterfall in Henford on Bagley. She is the daughter of the Elven mage Oak and hobbit Pippa. There is always so much to do around her cottage with tending to all of her animals, beekeeping, gardening and keeping the house somehow tidy while living on the off grid & simple life lot. Lily has barely time for her two hobbies - flower arranging and cross-stitching, let alone going out of town and meeting other people. She would love to one day meet someone who would help her around the farm and fall in love, but so far she is happy being surrounded by all her animal friends and occasional visits from her parents who live nearby, but understand their daughter’s wish to live her life the way she wants. Her father still hopes she will one day develop magic abilities and be the successor of their bloodline.
I have been playing Lily for about 20 sim days and oh boy did she go through a lot XD From constantly feeling exhausted and not being able to keep up with house chores resulting in her getting tuberculosis ( Deadly Dickensian Sicknesses mod) to setting her cottage on fire at least 3 times and being constantly broke XD

She only earns money by selling her llama’s wool, honey, half of her gardening crops (she keeps half of it for herself) and occasionally eggs.
