How's the Cottage Living so far?

Edit to add: I do have some lag at times, which my PC is a gaming one and only noticed it with last patch or so. I know that James Turner has mentioned it to with his let's plays.

I'm experiencing problems with lagging too. I thought it was because of my computer. I got rid of a lot of saves I don't really need anymore and even lowered the graphics quality. I'll see if it makes any real difference.

Honestly, I am IN LOVE! I have had no buggy issues so far, and have really enjoyed myself! There is SO much gameplay and new things to do that I still haven't dived into everything yet. This is rapidly becoming my second favorite pack after Cats & Dogs!

Still loving it after I have played more. Doing Rags to Riches and only selling things at market stalls is making money hard. Seasons does not help matters but I am actually enjoying the challenge. Its nice to not have making money entirely easy. I'm saving up for a yard sale table. But per my rules I can't use it unless it was during a fair. I might have enough save up to "buy" my first small plot of land land by next week. We will see.

I can't seem to catch anything when fishing, even with a high fishing skill. I have to go off world. I got a hen stuck in the coop and had to rescue her by moving the coop.

The only bugs I've seen are on the oversized crops and they get buggy a lot! Like daily.

It took me a while to realize that the fertilizer I was getting every day from the shed's could only work on the oversized crops.

I had planned on doing a legacy but my farm girl is so busy working the farm she doesn't have time to do anything else.

It’s an absolute blast. Very addicting with a ton of new gameplay that meshes really well with other packs.

Only odd thing I noticed is seaweed was a required ingredient for one of the older recipes and I have no clue how to find it. Not sure if that’s meant to have that as an ingredient.

Loving it but I haven't really used the new stuff except the cross-stitch.

First of all, there are so many lovely little details. I find the owl hooting in the background at night so soothing. And I think it's super cute that even though my sim's dog won't directly interact with the livestock, he gets incredibly jealous and needy when she pets the cow or chickens.

It is pretty glitchy at this point, though. Sometimes the errands get stuck and I can't turn them in. If I want to travel to the village to sell my goods, I have to be sure to leave by noon, because sometimes the travel screen gets stuck loading while time continues to pass on my lot. Oh, and I got that phone call from Nancy Landgraab about the power temporarily cutting out, which usually lasts for, what, 12 hours? 24 hours? Yeah, the power on my lot has been out for a week and a half, which is not great for the simple living challenge! Then, of course, there was the time that my sim rode her bicycle straight through the wall of her home. Oh, and for some reason, every time she goes jogging with her dog, she wants to change into her bathing suit halfway through.

This one is currently annoying me, as I need to order a special drink from her in order to complete an errand. I'm also having trouble interacting with foxes.

That being said, I'm having a ton of fun with this pack! I'm surprised, because I was a little disappointed when they announced it. (I'm kind of sick of all of these country-themed packs.) It really is great, though!

Def my favourite expansion so far. Im generally more of a builder but Ive been loving the gameplay, it feels really realistic in that the farming aspects are time consuming and hard work!
Also the weather is depressingly British, so much rain. It made me laugh the other day when my sim was out walking her dog when it started to pour down....she just changed into her swimsuit and kept walking!LOL

Good... But buggy... Pets are just gone from the household manager. The foxes are in the household but stretched and deformed. The food delivery service is broken... And I didnt play much... :(
