Snow has a largely egg-based diet, but sustaining life as a smallholder is very possible once you get going. The domesticated animals have more obvious utility: your hens produce eggs, your llama makes wool, and your cow makes milk (and the homes for each of them take up a substantial amount of lot real estate, especially the barn).īut combined with the new Simple Living lot trait, where you need to physically have food ingredients to cook with them, it means you've got actual incentive to grow and produce stuff in your home. Befriending wild animals is good because then you can, for example, get the wild birds to help with your garden, or ask the foxes not to steal everything they find. I chose this theme because one of the big additions in Cottage Living is animals - both controlled animal husbandry, and chatting with wild rabbits and birds. "Cottage Living has the old-school silliness and potential for petty cruelty that's a hallmark of The Sims." I went through all the new clothes and haircuts and picked all the yellow top/blue bottom options I could reasonably fit together.

It's also partly because I spent ages making my Sim into a kind of modern Snow White character, like the one with a pixie haircut in that TV show. I haven't received every colour of egg possible from my hens. I'm a bit late to the party with this review, partly because I never know how much of a Sims expansion I should play before I've really experienced it. We'd have had official bunkbeds for ages. They should have just done that years ago.

It's probably my favourite expansion in recent memory, maybe because Maxis appear to have embarked on a tactic of taking note of the most popular community mods and then making them. Compliant hens, a Llama to joke with, the ability to commune with wild foxes and birds, and loads of cute wooden furniture. This latest expansion to EA's (already monstrously expanded) life sim allows you to live out the ultimate Cottagecore fantasy. But I don't want to destroy anyone's dream, and if real-life cottage fantasy doesn't work out then there's always The Sims 4: Cottage Living. You may imagine that you spend your days picking letterbox-red strawberries from your garden, under the heady scent of roses, but in actual fact if you do not get to the strawberries within about 30 seconds of them ripening then they will be eaten by slugs. My experience was more ThereIsAlwaysASpiderInTheBathcore. I grew up in the countryside and thus Cottagecore has always faintly amused me as a concept. The right combination of idealistic and silly, Cottage Living really encourages you to play The Sims 4 a bit differently, and is my favourite expansion in a while.
