Ok, I got it!!

Thanks everyone! your opinions really helped me <3
I know there are videos and guides but I trust more in the opinion of what I call "real" players.

I'm not interested in some features, but I can play them eventually ;)

The world is really beautiful, perfect for some of my occults. So far I have felt that the game is immersive, I like that <3 <3

I discover that a little lag occurs when my Sims choose what to cook: the display of the food menu has a delay that I had not experienced before, but is ok.

So far I haven't had any problems with the EP, but with today's patch: by fixing the problem with Sims that weren't running anymore, the Devs messed up Vampires and Werewolves Supernatural Speeds :s So for now I will enjoy CoL with a vampire (my fake dark fairy) because she can move as bat or mist. I need my Super Speed, the world is huge!

Finally I was able to use my Viking Retreat, one of my vampires took a holiday to Henford-on-Bagley to decide which lot to move to permanently:

Hey @Lustianicia I see you like proper expansions: my #1 is Get Together and my #2 is Seasons :D So maybe CoL will be at my top 5 soon.

Thanks for your sweet words @AlphaFFrog o:) I discover that there is a new clock at CoL for my Steampunk dreams :#

@Simmingal ok, who was to blame for the fire?? (I love your stories).

100% yes! It's a really really good pack. It has a great CAS, very nice b&b, gorgeous world and absolutely mind blowing gameplay.
I also play vanilla. The only bug that I am experiencing with this EP and that annoys me very much is the general cleaning after with cleaning a chicken coop.

Cottage Living is the best next to Get Together

It's *ALLWAYS* a good time to buy Cottage Living. One of the better packs , me thinks.

If you enjoy playing supernatural sims, it's a great location for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Buy it for the chickens and llamas, my favorites and most of my sims living in Henford have animals. Love, love the chickens! <3

Its worth it. I dont play much with it because I dont like farming as a theme but even I can admit that the gameplay is very good (if you re into farming). Also the world!

I'm a console player. One bug for me is all the yarn for cross stitch is black and white. I'm bummed this feature still isn't working but there's lot of other things to do in this pack, so I still say it's worth it.

Mostly because of two bugs:

Plants reverting to dirt piles.
Distorted Foxes showing up in the household manager.
