My first batch of milk from my cow was turned into cheese. Immediately, I noticed the option to do some canning, so my first batch of tomatoes turned into sauce. My colleague, Ozzie, struggled with this in his preview of Cottage Living, but it’s gone rather splendidly for me. I really didn’t mind as not having a go-to scheme to get rich forced me to test the ability to live off the land. EA is wise to this, though, as they nerfed the ability to harvest public plants and sell them. As I played, I would develop my ability to paint, making thousands a day selling my “masterpieces” to art galleries. In the early game, I would run around neighborhoods and harvest plants and dig up critters and treasures to sell. You see, I used to be good at making large amounts of Simoleons without using cheats. In the interest of being fully immersed, I opted to go with the latter, and it was a welcome struggle at first.
This required me to use ingredients for all recipes, meaning I had to either buy them from the store – I’m broke, remember – or produce them myself. The lot I purchased came with the Simple Living Lot Challenge. It’s right here that Cottage Living got me with its charm. Luckily, my new home – including furniture – came in just under that, leaving me enough cash to purchase a cow and a pizza and not much else.
The new location added to the game is Henford-on-Bagley, and that’s where I opted to begin my new Sim life. It’s never far from my mind, but The Sims 4: Cottage Living poured fuel on that burning desire.Ĭottage Living is the latest expansion for The Sims 4, bringing players something different without making it feel disconnected.
It’s a dream that brings me peace and perspective when the frantic speed of everyday life gets to be a bit too much. My dream is to one day move up north and live in a cottage by a freshwater lake in Ontario.
