If you could change things about Cottage Living it would be...

I like it more than I thought. I really love the store stalls. We should've had a market a long time ago. What would I change?

1. Rabbits shouldn't be able to go in locked fences. This is the biggest thing that could be changed for me. You can scare them, but I wouldn't have to if they couldn't come in.
2. Of course I don't like the cows/llamas tied to the sheds/unbreedable/only 1 per shed.
3. More than one 64x64. I had expected larger lots for something like this.
4. No electric fence.

I haven't tried the llamas/embroidery stuff yet, so I don't know how that is. It is a pretty countryside aside from having smaller lots than should be on a farming type pack. I like how the different fences connect. I like many of the animal interactions. I haven't tried putting multi sheds together yet. I did notice the truck on one of the places and it is real nice. I wish we could drive it. Hopefully, it means vehicles are coming. Not crazy about the small lots, no electric fences, and tied animals, but aside from that, I actually like the pack. I wonder if we will ever get tractors, pigs/goats/other animals, electric fences( they missed a huge opportunity to put these in and seeing sims shocked/death by electric current ect.). Do we even have corn in the game? Maybe they will add some type of petting zoo and add them.

    A way to make farming less time-consuming. My god, if you have more than one animal and some crops, you can kiss your social life goodbye. Just in my last in-game day, my Sim got up at 3am, and wasn't done until 7pm that night.

    Cows, chickens and llamas should all be able to graze. I've had chickens IRL, they dig up your garden looking for beetles and worms. Chicken feed is nice to have as a backup, but they're actually pretty self-sufficient animals.

    Maybe feeding animals could've been limited to a water trough, maybe seed for the chickens and bales of hay for the llama/cow, but only as a backup in case they're not placed on grass (or if it's snowing) and can't graze. Even then, the water trough could be replaced by simply having a pond nearby.


    I recommend creating a club and making sort of a job out of it. I have a Gardeners Club of 7 Sims. Still testing it out but I did started the gathering 9am-10am and they finished around 4pm and that was just “tending the garden together” alone, With a lunch break.

    So I’m thinking when I play again, I’ll try to start the gathering Every morning, weather permitting (rain), I will start a gathering around 4am-5am have a breakfast gathering and then Get to Work!
    I think I’m going to have the kids of the family that owns the farm help out too, they are a family of 8, only two parents six children, four boys, two girls.
    I could have three, possibly four, of the children help out And speed it up.
    Pay them in food or money “gifts.”

    I want to say it should work but I don’t know how it’s going to work. unless I make a separate clubs for each animal to tend to them.

    Oh my gosh, troughs would have been so smart!!!
    I haven’t played with the animals yet, I thought I it would be as easy as I clean them up, socialize a little, and let them out on the fields and Graze in Grass. Only difficulty I thought would have been is gaining trust.
