Cottage Living: Prep and Plans

You all have such great ideas, you make me feel inadequate because I'm just sitting around waiting for the new livestream on Thursday before delving into making plans! So many possibilities but so many questions needing answers, I haven't come up with anything yet. I do know I will start a new save just for this pack, though. It's the only way I'll be able to use all the new content without having to compromise on space. or change the storylines in my current save. At some point, Glimmer Brook will be incorporated as an extension of HoB, but that's weeks away from happening. I do know I will be using all the new animals and wildlife, of course. Now I need to come up with some unique Sims and storylines for them. I really enjoy Rags to Riches game play ( Thank you, James Turner ), and at least one of my Sims will start their new life as a very poor but hardworking individual. I have a male Sim I created, but never played, in my library who might become my Rags to Riches Sim. But he will need a wife so perhaps I'll create a sweet country girl for him to court once he has attained some success and can afford to start a family.

I do want the live stream to show us more about the premade Sims in HoB. I have never been a huge fan of most of the premades, but I'm hoping the ones residing in HoB are interesting, with good backstories and will be fun to play. Or, at the very least, be the kind of neighbors that don't intrude every five minutes or steal my crops. Speaking of crops, I hope the teams fix that gardening bug in the pre-EP update. :D
