The sims 4 Cottage Living Negativity thread.

This pack doesn't seem to include any horses. I've stopped buying packs from EA due to the gameplay being lackluster, and the developers overlooking the game issues and glitches. Back on topic concerning Cottage Living - As much as I like the aesthetic, there is CC similar to the clothes and hairs. And I'm sure the pack will feel repetitive after a week of playing. The lack of fairies makes it seem more of a bummer.

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.

Patchy is also tied to an object and you can put him on any lot

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.

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.

If anything a mod will most likely come out that will allow animals to be used for meat. I'd welcome it, and meat ingredients can be used in a sim's fridge. It wouldn't be graphic, just a rabbit hole and meat in your sim's inventory.

to me as a player some seem to be judging the pack before giving it a try so i see no point in being so negative as a player i see all the new content as a great addition to the game

I'm so tired of people going to threads to complain about other simmers.If your happy about this pack that is good.I am too , but criticism is good as well.

Yeah and the llama produce wool.This probably why we don't have pigs.Because there is nothing they are use for beside meat.

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. :'(

I never got over missing the TS3 Pets limited edition so that I don't have the pet shop ?

To me as a player the trailer is a venue to get people talking on what is/or will be offered in game and players have the right to express how they feel on what was offered.

As we learn more other players may change their minds or they may not. And that’s their right especially if the gameplay has nothing to offer that players game style.

Personal example, I disliked Journey To Batuu as soon as I saw the trailer because there was nothing that interested me and it still didn’t interest me as more info was shown so I’m not bothered that it’s not part of my games

Did I sound negative? Yep. But as a player that is my feeling towards that release and others shouldn’t be chided for their own feelings.

It's too early to really complain but a few things did pop up...
-The timelocked items tied to the pack is dumb. Maybe if the games were less super buggy on release people would be more willing to buy them upon release.

-A lot of stuff shown off looks rehashed/repackaged from other packs. Some of that is fine, but on your reveal trailer it really shouldn't be the main focus. So rather concerned on the amount of new gameplay.

-It really looks too much like windenburg, but country-fied. Not a super big deal just...could've used more to make it different.

-Animals being tied to certain items. All the animals are great but I really don't want them to be objects. I will say the bunnies are super cute tho.

Its great that you are looking forward to the pack, but you do realize that this thread is particularly aimed at players who arent exactly feeling the same way? Would you appreciate it if you were in a thread aimed at players who are absolutely excited for the pack, but someone comes in saying how much they hate the pack and no one should be enjoying it either? No right? Im not sure what you're trying to accomplish here but there is another thread meant for players just as excited as you that share your sentiment.
