Embrace Country Life with The Sims 4 – Cottage Living DLC
The Sims 4 – Cottage Living expansion pack invites players to experience the charming and serene lifestyle of Henford-on-Bagley, a picturesque village where your Sims can enjoy the pleasures of country life. This DLC adds a rich array of rural activities, from gardening and livestock-raising to cross-stitching and picnic-setting, offering a delightful escape into a community where everyone knows everyone.
Rustic Lifestyle and Activities
In Cottage Living, your Sims can live off the land by growing their own food, raising and befriending animals, and immersing themselves in the natural world. They can tend to gardens to grow a variety of crops, raise chickens, cows, and llamas, and even enter produce and animals in the local fair for competition.
Explore the Village of Henford-on-Bagley
Henford-on-Bagley is filled with cozy cottages, lush countryside, and a quaint village center. Sims can visit the village market to purchase local goods, meet neighbors at community events, or explore the surrounding woods and areas, discovering lakes, picnic spots, and foraging opportunities.
Build Your Perfect Country Home
The DLC also introduces new country-themed building and interior decorating options. Create idyllic homes with rustic architectures like thatched roofs and lattice windows, and decorate with a range of country-style furniture and decorations that bring the essence of rural living indoors.
Bond with Village Folk and Animals
Building relationships is central to the Cottage Living experience. Sims can befriend the village’s townsfolk and even wildlife. Forging a close relationship with animals can lead to helpful surprises—they might assist in the garden or bring gifts.
Wholesome Festivals and Activities
Participate in fun village festivals, such as the Finchwick Fair, where Sims can showcase their gardening, baking, and animal-rearing skills. These festivals not only bring the community together but also provide opportunities to earn unique rewards.
Live Sustainably
Cottage Living encourages a sustainable lifestyle, with opportunities for Sims to live in harmony with nature. Sims can use natural resources wisely, cook with home-grown ingredients, and even use canning to preserve their food.
A Cozy and Charmed Sim Experience
This expansion provides a delightful contrast to the fast-paced life of other Sims 4 worlds, focusing on simplicity, community, and the joys of a slower, more measured pace of life. It’s perfect for players looking to enrich their Sims’ lives with new experiences and a touch of pastoral tranquility.
