With The Sims 4Cottage Living, we’re empowering players to get creative with how they connect with their surroundings and embrace village life to its fullest. Cottage Living offers a relaxing and quaint cottage experience surrounded by lush beauty and adorable animals. It is one of the most wholesome experiences I have ever had playing The Sims 4. I can’t wait to see how players’ Sims’ live out their cottage life.
Key features of The Sims 4 Cottage Living expansion pack include:
- Embrace Village Life – Settle into the close-knit community of Henford-on-Bagley, where Sims can explore the countryside and everything it has to offer, learn about the town’s history, pack a picnic basket and enjoy the outdoors and refine their cross-stitching skill. Sims can also help villagers with errands to earn unique gifts or kick back over food and drinks at The Gnome’s Arms pub after a long day.
- Raise or Befriend Animals – Sims can raise their own cottage animals to receive fresh milk from cows, eggs from chickens, and llama wool for crafts. Earn the trust of wild foxes, rabbits, and flocks of birds for gifts and assistance in the garden.
- Live off the Land – Take on the new Simple Living Lot Challenge where recipes require fresh ingredients for each meal. Whether Sims grow them, raise them, forage in the wild or order them from the village market, fresh is best for all. And, for Sims aspiring to make a name for themselves in town, the Finchwick Fair is the perfect place to enter oversized crops, delicious pies, and prized cows, llamas, or chickens.
