20 Things To Do With Sims 4 Cottage Living 🐓

I took my chicken to the fair and they didn't give her back after it was done. I liked that chicken. Now the mayor and my sim are enemies.

Is it just me or is this one of the most content heavy expansions we’ve gotten in awhile

[@RD-vj6gs]

Really isn’t that much to do… don’t be fooled

[@mazonc11]

@@RD-vj6gs Your right it isn’t, this is more of a gamepack than an expansion pack. The world is what makes it an expansion….

[@wandering4786]

@@mazonc11 I think it’s a really good pack, but $40 is literally insane. That’s soooo much money for something that’s not even a full game. I’ve played games with crazy good graphics and tons of content that are $20. FULL GAMES. How can they charge $40 for a pack ? They’re so greedy, and that’s my problem with it. They don’t care about their customers at all.

[@robertkeane9393]

Don’t be fooled. This is the sims 4.

[@mazonc11]

@@wandering4786 I think the theme and concept of this pack is great but gameplay wise, it doesn’t expand the basegame, it’s literally just another layer of icing on an incomplete cake that’s missing it’s basic ingredients. As long as people pay full price for these packs and buy them on release days EA will continue to push them out, same thing with kits they know what they’re doing

[@i.s.9451]

Here here I think my rooster was mad at me because he's used to getting spoiled a little after four every day.

[@sabresister]

Fun fact: that is actually how you can food! Once you have the food in the jars you process them in a pot of boiling water to seal them (it’s called water bath canning), or if it’s a low acid food you process using a pressure cooker ☺️ Great video!

[@michele128]

I hope the town square is decorated during the holidays that would be so dope!

Yess!

Prolly not

I have it and unfortunately does not decorate the square, BUT I hope they add that in an update

[@skywalker6648]

Nope! That would have been nice and more realistic!

[@Ellary_Rosewood]

Something I really wish was an option would be to be able to run the grocery stand by yourself, so you can sell your homesteading goods. I'll be making my own farm & garden shop though, so at least there's that! So excited for tomorrow. I even began learning embroidery for the first time due to this pack! ❤️

Maybe makeing a farm into a retail store? That should work.

I have been playing cottage living since release so happy to see you can do stitching by reference!!!! I have not got that far in it that's SO Great I love Painting by reference all the time thanks for these

[@zuzannat1403]

Idk if it's an idea for gameplay, but I have discovered something, that I haven't seen anyone share before. So if you go to the Isle of Volpe and you play an instrument, the birds will come and they will do like a "swoop" around your sim, which will bust their skill a little, they will also sing along. I don't know if it works for singing but I assume it does and for other instruments other than violin (my sim was playing violin) Also, it's not an interaction, you don't have to be friends with the birds, and you can play in any place of the Isle of Volpe

[@azurastar3223]

Someone has probably said this somewhere in the comments already, but when it shows the sim putting the jar in the pan, irl when canning some foods need to be pressurized in a special pan to seal them while others need to be placed in hot water. Also irl it can be a dangerous hobby. My dad has experienced multiple jars exploding especially when pressurized if something went wrong. Just a fun fact.

[@XxPrettyToxicxX]

Was looking to buy a new pack and I think I’m sold of this one now! I’ve recently gotten into the gardening thing and I enjoy it a lot surprisingly, I use to stick with painting and cooking and what made me think of this pack was raising farm animals!

This has honestly been my favorite pack as of recent but getting money for food and such is pretty hard because crops grow so slow. I was trying to have my Sim kind of rough it for a change of pace for myself but again the income is too slow and my sim is barely having any time to tend to herself because the animals are so needy. Seriously anytime I try to have my Sim paint or try and write a book or something for extra money her cow is always complaining about something. And even while selling animal produce, book royalties and paintings she barely breaks even to pay her bills. Am I missing something?
