It looks like a stove to me. Maybe it's a recipe book?

I would actually love this. I remember in The Sims 2 for PS2 they had a recipe system where you actually had to pull out individual ingredients to make that specific recipe.

Maybe it's somehow related to Lot Challenges? So you don't have to go in to Build Mode to see which ones are active

I wish!!

When you click on it you’ll be able to see how many vehicles your sim owns.
From bikes to mopeds to motorbikes to cars…to a small airplane.

?

I think this is the safest.

I really like this EP so I wouldn't be disappointed if it's not surprising, I'm happy with the challenges of the lot and the errands. I hope to be challenged to create our own clothes at some point or buy them to unlock from the CAS.

Actually, it would make sense if it was a list of ingredients you have in your house storage, wouldn't it? So you don't just have to try to remember what you need when you go to the grocery store or foraging in the woods, if you're doing the lot challenge. It's probably something basic like that.

You already got these in your inventory

Does it keep track of what's in your fridge though? You can't carry some stuff around for too long or it'll go bad. I've never noticed anything that told me what I had in the fridge at my Sims' home before.

Well, I'm distracted by the several places in which you can opt to cook as a group together with others, so it definitely looks like there will be a cooking update. As for the new icon, I don't know exactly but I agree that it could be meal planning or a challenge tracker.

What are Lot Challenges? Is it something we already have and I just never noticed?

No. It is a new feature that comes with the EP. These are challenges that we can select in the batch characteristics panel. The challenge we know so far is the food challenge (in which we will have to have the ingredients to cook and the refrigerator will not magically fill) There is also an off-grid challenge, this is from the base game. And the third challenge we know is about foxes, they will steal chicken eggs from us.
There will also be challenges from other packages although we do not know those yet.

Ah, ok. I haven't been closely following news on the Cottage Living EP as it isn't of great interest to me. Good to know, though. Thanks!
