Cottage living, wish it had...

I think with CoL having been such a success, there should be room for another similar themed
pack, preferably including horses.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason horses weren’t in CoL was to keep them in reserve for an equestrian pack of some kind.

I definitely would have liked a Fae presence because the world has mystery and whimsy. Although I think they would have been very shortchanged and in the long run, I really want a variety of Fae beings, Seelie and Unseelie, not just tiny winged princesses.

In addition, I would have liked a scheduled tea time and I also really wanted the ability to create a petting zoo for community lots so Sims could visit with the fam and feed goats and pat llamas and have pony rides for the kids and toddlers.

@cyncie: That is indeed quite likely. Horses were already aimed to be included in Cats and Dogs until they felt they deserve their own Pack - which they do. EA could keep on adding stuff for kids and toddlers and include them, too.
They've been hinting at an Equestrian Pack since long. I actually think it's already in development, but will take 2 or 3 years from start to finish.

-Same thing with llamas. I get that it's funny but I don't really play with them. I'd love the option to get a sheep instead for wool.

Same here. Yes, llamas are the signature animals of TS4, but they look so out of place in any world that isn't Oasis Springs or Selvadorada, and you can't even live in the latter. I have the royal family from Frozen in my game, with a llama as the reindeer Sven because I really didn't want to make him a cow, and that's also the reason my versions of Anna and Elsa enjoy knitting and stitching, respectively, but other families who want to do that just have to buy the wool instead of producing their own.

Also, it would be nice to have more barn models than just the one we got. Not that I don't like it, but like the llama, it doesn't fit in everywhere. Again with my Frozen family, they live in one of the premade Yukimatsu homes, there's Japanese architecture all around them, but then the barn looks the way it does, and it's weird. Granted, I've never been to a real Japanese farm and don't know what they look like, but I would appreciate matching styles.

Last but not least, I wish there was an easier and more reliable way to get the recipes for golden and midnight treats than participating in every fair there is, taking first place and hoping the reward will be worth it, not just something you already have, like the strawberry milk I won recently.

Fae would be an amazing addition to the game.

More lots.

And something I wish it didn't have: that little shed behind the only 64x64 lot. :/

I wanted a real farming pack not "Cottage Living"

I agree, I think the idea of a Cottage village with foxes and bunnies wandering around is cute enough for its own pack - maybe a fairy themed pack inspired on the UK- but they used it instated for not having to work big on a farm inspired pack, and just give us a few animals-objects with that excuse.

What you want is an American style ranch/farm. Choosing to do a different type of Cottage farm not based in the good old USA isn’t being lazy .

I'm not saying Ea is lazy for not giving us a American style ranch/farm, I'm not even from America lol but there are def other reasons...?
