The sims 4 Cottage Living Negativity thread.

I'm someone that wanted farming/ranching but I can say plainly that I'm ready for the sustainability/live off the land theme to be put to rest. This pack definitely delivers although it's sad that it doesn't include horses (but I guess we'll save that for a future kit, sp or gp?)

The style is too cutesy for my personal taste. I don't play Disney princesses who make forest friends that help them sew dresses (no offense to those who want to); having wild animals bring my sim gifts just doesn't appeal to me.

One thing from the blog that particularly troubles me:

In the forest, look out for wild rabbits, foxes, and birds. Earn their trust for occasional gifts and help in the garden.

Are the rabbits unable to be kept as actual pets by sims who live in other worlds?

Rabbits are confirmed to not be household pets. Sims can put a home down for them but they will come and go.

And also I agree with the too cutsey thing. I absolutely do not care about the animals having clothes and stuff I think it's ridiculous that they devote time to such things instead of allowing us to own herds of cows/llamas or whatever.

I noticed that we didn't see any baby cows or llamas. I hope we can raise them from infancy, but it looks like we just might get them fully-grown.

I'm worried there will be a Farmstead lot type, like the Haunted House lot type. And the animals, or at least the bigger ones, are tied to them. So you can have farms in all words, but you won't be able to keep cows in an apartment. Which would be lame because I want my eccentric rich sims to have a penthouse farmhouse.

Who wants to keep cows in an apartment? ?‍♀️

I do.

It looked to me like the animals were attached to a small building which would mean they come as is. Hope I’m wrong, I’d love the ability to raise animals.

I love the idea of cows ? in an apartment! ?

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 don’t like buy before a certain date to get these bonus items. ? I’ll wait to September 3rd then! ☕️

I don't really have any gripes about the pack, I think it looks brill and seems to have a lot of gameplay even looking past the flashy trailer!

My only nitpick is the kitchen, it looks brill but we recently got a "Country Kitchen Kit" and the two look simular in design from what I've seen so far. Choice is always good but how many people could have skipped on this kit if they knew this EP was just round the corner?

I'm half expecting the next EP to have a morroccan based world with assets to build a morroccan *garden* now! ??

I would love a Morroccan world regardless. :smile:

Has anyone mentioned how the country kitchen kit was obviously cut from this EP to be sold seperate...? ?

Either that, or they just liked both concepts and couldn't decide which one to put into the EP? I actually don't really mind. My only gripe with kits in general is that they're a bit overpriced, but that's sims, I guess.

My biggest complaint besides not getting a full on farm expansion is the small world I'm so tired of having no where to build if I want a bar restaurant gym and a park in this world I'm down to an entire 8 lots left over its ridiculous and I'd actually want every community lot type which would leave me not much room for residential.

Yeah, agreed, 12 lots is way too few. Worlds keep getting smaller, they're almost game pack size now. It's barely any bigger than Strangerville, which also has 12 lots if you count the lab.

But at least there's going to be a 64x64 again. That's something.

The rest of the EP has me excited, though. :)

Oh me too, don't get me wrong I'm not complaining about this world or any world that compliments kit packs. I'm already looking forward to this free morroccan patch which is coming soon. ?

I'm just thinking that had it been the other way round the appeal of the Country Kitchen Kit would be very different.

And, I've seen several people mentioning shrinking the shed/building down. I'm not sure that will work because if the animal is part of that mesh, then I believe the animal will shrink also. It would be very similar to how the bassinet works. Has anybody shrank that down to hide it?

I haven't shrunk a bassinet down but I did enlarge one ....



And ended up with a giant baby.

Maybe they work like the mirrors and the cows don't shrink? :lol:
