What things do you forsee being needed to be fixed in cottage living?

Spawning rabbits in other worlds. You know you can have two rabbits in every month there are ten more.

I believe there's an object you need to place in order to see rabbits spawn. Let's wait and see when it releases.

I think that winter will be a great problem. This world seem to be on the same temperature zone as willow creek, windenburg and for example san myshino. There will be freezing cold and a lot of snow fall. Will the Sims go out and milk the cow in freezing cold and what about the hens?

Gardening, the new food delivery system, pets could be impacted by the addition of new animals, our Sims reverting back to cooking all the time then not eating what they made. I watched the reveal trailer four times, and during each viewing I got an Island Living/Eco Lifestyle feeling of dread. There is a lot of cross-pack game play in the new pack, and sometimes new features collide with older features, causing big problems. Old code doesn't always play well with newer code. Hopefully, the new pack will be tested with all the packs at the same time, which would help keep the number of new bugs lower, and can be quickly fixed before the pack's release. I'm hoping I'm wrong. But just from the reveal trailer I could see all the changes being made to features in the base game, plus features from several other packs. Cooking, gardening, a new hobby, a pond tool in the update, children cooking and doing needlework...Plus that doesn't include any of the new features that could come with their own set of glitches. This pack will have cows, llamas, chickens, bunnies, foxes, and our Sims will be able to befriend wild birds as well. There will be a stump where the bunnies live plus actual birdhouses for the wild birds. I mean, I find those very charming and I would love seeing my Sims' yards come to life with all kinds of critters. But how they actually perform while playing is unknown right now. All we can do is wait and see how it all plays out. But remember, this is an expansion pack, and it will have issues.

Good thread.

I think plants could be maybe be bugged, they are kinda bugged now for many people where they go back to the first stage (a dirt pile) for no reason.

I agree about winter, placing a lot of animals outside and not in a barn might look nice in the summer, but that's not going to look great in the winter. You probably are going to end up building huge barns or something if you don't want your animals outside, and that might not look as good.

Balancing could be an issue, they have mentioned that they will add lot challenges to this one, and we know how well Maxis sometimes balances things...

Not a bug but I would not be surprised if autonomy could be an issue, your sims might go outside to hug the animals all the time or the animals will interrupt your sims...

Not really a bug, but I thin that with farm animals finally added, it will feel kinda weird walking by a non-played farm and not even hear the sounds from animals there. Non-played lots are normally just visuals creating the surrounding hood, but this time I wish a farm would have a few sounds even if not played. My sim living next to a cow farm should definitely hear a mooo from across the fence every now and then. Or a rooster should be heard not only when the farm is played. It would add integrity to a farm hood. Hopefully they will find a way to add such details.

This and I hope spawning rabbits don't cause the same issue Father Winter did when the game spawned over several hundred father winters and caused crashes.
