The sims 4 Cottage Living Negativity thread.

For anyone wondering on the Cows and chickens they have a blog up about the cows having a shed and the chickens a coop, so it sounds like they will be tied to those objects, which hopefully makes them available in other worlds. I saw the blog post on the positivity thread if anyone is interested.

It would be awful if they don’t let us cook the rabbits, cows, and chickens!

I can't tell if you're serious, but the dev team already said they would never allow that. The rabbits are wild creatures to befriend, the chickens produce eggs, and the cows milk. That's all.

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.

Brace yourself for „Is it Generations?“ :p

I'm very forgiving of people wanting a Generations pack, personally. People are thrilled that it looks like kids can play with some of the new animals because it's literally anything for kids to do.

Already planning out some penthouse farms.

I really wanted fairies :(

I can understand why, but at the same time...the food that they are eating in this screenshot looks like they very much made it themselves from their garden. So it would not be too much of a stretch for them to get their meat from their own animals.

I really wouldn't expect animal husbandry in the game, though my guess is that it will be modded in. I really, really hope that the animals aren't tied to their buildings, or if they are, that the buildings aren't rabbitholes (errrr, well, you know what I mean). See, I wouldn't mind making a tiny homestead type lot, with chickens running in and out of the house.

I do wonder if the fox ever catches the chickens or rabbits. Somehow I doubt it.

No Fairies :'(

This makes me more angry than the kit cash grabs. Urging people to buy before a certain date... . Disgusting. Too bad because the bike looks cute. :'(

So far, my first impressions of the pack are quite positive, but this "bonus content" when you buy before a deadline, is beyond ridiculous and should not be thing.

Those bonus items should already be included in the pack, available to everyone, regardless of when they buy it.

I suppose it's better than a pre-order bonus. However, EA must realize that these types of bonuses end up punishing their customers who don't always have the disposable income or who start later in the game and encourages arrrrr for those people. TBH, those items are not worth $20 to me (I always wait to buy EPs until they're half off).
