Cottage Living: Prep and Plans

I will be playing my simself so I can vicariously live my off the grid, self sustaining cottage farm fantasy. I'll consider this practice before I turn my fantasy into my real world reality one day. I'm definitely going to make the most of Seasons, Cats and Dogs, Eco Lifestyle, Outdoor Retreat and of course Cottage Living. I'll likely use a mod to make Granite Falls a residential world, the 50x50 lot at the top of the map is almost exactly where I imagine my future home will be. I imagine I'll also make use of Get to Works retail system to open up a local farmers market of sorts where I'll sell all sorts of self produced goods.
