Since I'm afraid I might run out of time again if I don't post this now, but I do always SO enjoy looking at your builds in these threads, here it is, as for previous EPs (and one I'm extremely excite...

I've done 4 so far. Considering I'm american and not too familiar with cottage building, I decided to build from reference. I'm really proud because I almost never put this much detail into my lots. I modeled these off of homes that I found for sale in the Cotswolds. Absolutely love that they include the floor plans in the listing.

I gotta say I'm having a blast. I don't know about you guys, but my sims are acting a lot more natural now and doing things they've never done before. For example, in one of the houses, the kitchen and dining room have a table and I didn't think the dining room would ever get used. But when the kid comes home from school, he goes to do his homework in the dining room and then if other sims are eating, instead of eating at the kitchen table, they join him in the dining room. And I've noticed that my families want to do things together more than before. I don't know if it's specifically cottage living items that are causing it or if that's just the game now. But I've had a sim go and autonomously start helping a different sim who was already cooking. Also had sims go help garden when others are doing it and feed the barn animals together, too. I'm totally loving this now.
