It's the reuse of animations, lack of in-depth gameplay and let's be real: fairies would have fit in very well with this pack but there isn't any sign of them. The Sims 3 gave us vampires (an occult state) in an expansion (Late night) and this Cottage Living pack, while pretty with the animals that could have been given in an animal expansion pack (Cats & Dogs) fails to show any.... BRAND NEW gameplay? We can already garden, sell good at a market stall, bake... okay we can now milk cows and get eggs from chickens but what else?

The blog says that the judging competition will be weekly so your sim can stay busy getting ready for those. But if based on skill levels will probably turn into easy wins each time you enter.

There’s also the Simple Living Lot Challenge were it looks like recipes will be completely dependent on what the sim harvests so no more using simoleans to make a dish.

And that’s about the only other interesting things alongside also befriending woodland creatures to get gifts and garden helpers.
