Empty countryside in CoL?
Broke down and got the pack over the weekend, couldn't resist the British charm - it strikes an inner chord - and the animals. It's been huge fun so far, taken up way more time than intended, and is ...

I have my two colonial families living in Windenburg (I needed the two 64 X 64 size lots). I put the tree trunk home for the rabbits and the small tree that holds the birds on both properties. I build a pond on the first property, but made the mistake, if you will, of starting out in Winter for this game save. So that both families have to deal with the season, it's set to 14 day seasons. I'm now questioning that decision. LOL The pond is frozen over, but there is no skating allowed, which is a shame. But also no fishing. Forget the fact it's not stocked! I really wish the devs hadn't made it a requirement that our Sims must have discovered fish in order to allow those to be stocked. (Sitting her wondering if that pop-down saying so-and-so just learned about a certain fish is what they're talking about?)
Once the festivals begin, I shall send a member from the active household to enter whatever category is up for that time. Had some really rotten luck when I first had my families living in HoB. The festivals would just fizzle out of existence without announcing who won. (Doesn't have to be my Sim, so long as the festival comes to an honest conclusion. Why else did they gather?) Suffer me to say, it really wasn't that much fun. I am disappointed. In the hopes it isn't an actual bug, I did a repair game. When that didn't seem to make an impact, I did a game folder Refresh. Then I began anew, only in Windenburg, instead. We'll see what good comes of it. If I don't find any satisfaction, I may jump back over to my Main save until this bug is fixed. Ho-hum. Just when I thought I'd finally be able to get somewhere with my Ancestral game save, too. ;'(
