July 8th - The Sims 4 Cottage Living Livestream🦙

I'm in love with the ponds. Nothing was really a surprise, but the pack looks very well rounded and properly detailed. Not to mention the update! So much is coming in the update. Definitely worth the preorder.

Dude... This looks amazing!

Such a dream pack! I love the world so much! I do wish the ponds were swimmable, but I just won't use that tool, darn it.

I thought it was a wonderful livestream! My sims are going to love living in HOB.

Wow, the whole world is so interactive! Tons to see and do and click and interact with. Love it!

This looks really good! I love the chickens and the other animals! Only two weeks to go!

I haven't been this hyped since Seasons!

I’m excited about this pack, but I have a frustration.
Based on the trailer and initial information, I thought that the kids cooking/gardening and the ponds were part of the pack, as it was highlighted that way. This made it feel like a great expansion and all seemed part of the theme.
But, after watching the livestream and reading the latest 411, these things are going to given as a base-game update. It’s frustrating that these items were highlighted in the trailer and livestream and then be told that it’s not pack exclusive.

One thing I noticed in the livestream was the ability to focus the camera as an interaction option to find a sim. Is this new or have I just never managed to use this before?

Ohh I forgot about this! Excited to watch it during lunch time tomorrow :love: i also have a week off when it releases, so I'm pumped!

My daughter and I caught the last 10 minutes of the livestream, but after it finished, we went back and watched it in its entirety. We're both really excited about adding "the HoB" to our Sims world. If Z giggled and said "Pause that! Oh! Run it back so I can see that again!" once, she said it a hundred times.

Our family traveled to England a few years ago and visited the Cotswolds, so we're especially delighted to see that area come to life in Cottage Living.
