Cottage Living: Prep and Plans

My main sims are just about to become elders, and I feel like that's the perfect opportunity for them to retire and buy a farm (they're living in the Windenburg countryside already, but I'm going to move them on a bigger lot in Henford-on-Bagley). I'm glad their youngest son is still a kid, I'll be able to test gardening and cooking interactions on him haha! Maybe their eldest daughter will move with them too, since she's pretty tired of being a celebrity, and her life is just a mess after a relationship with Jude Law. :D
I've started building them a cottage too, but I need CL to finish it properly.
