Cottage Living: Prep and Plans

I'm just really excited to see what my favorite builders do. I'm not a builder myself (I dabble), but I do like to build worlds based on downloaded lots and the "vibes" of the towns. (For example, I'm not an occult player so I just turned Glimmerbrook into a typical Western mountain town, using a lot of CatSaar's builds). Very excited for a cafe(aka teashop) or library, maybe one attached to knick knack shop. When I went to the Cotswalds in 2019, it was like 70% little touristy knick knack shops. I also stayed in an Inn very similar to Devin Bumpkin's Pub, so I'll probably add a couple of rooms. As for storytelling, my current flock of Sims are all crime-focused and living in either Evergreen Harbor or San Myshuno, but I do see an opportunity for "backpacking" into this world after Uni, which is something I have my YA sims do at Windenburg quite often. Backpacking consists of them staying a few nights at a bar or restaurant that has a bed and shower and exploring the town without officially renting.
