The Sims 4: Cottage Living for PC is the eleventh expansion pack for the incredibly popular Sims 4 game, not counting the eighteen ‘stuff’ packs and ten game packs and four kit packs that have been released to keep players happily entertaining their Sims. This time, your Sims are all about the quiet country life. About the Game The brand-new village of Henford on Bagley (new to the game, anyway, it is a well-established, old fashioned English village that has been there for thousands of years, or would have been if it wasn’t fictional) introduces your Sims to the small subsistence type of farm life. Your Sims can grow crops as diverse as pumpkins, eggplants and watermelons, and breed animals like llamas, cows, chickens and bunnies. The latter do need protecting from the local foxes though, so don’t expect country living to be too soft and easy! The local pub, the Gnome Arms, invites your Sims to have a cosy pint after a busy day’s work. Or perhaps they would prefer to walk around the village green, or stroll along the stream that runs through the village? The braver Sims might want to take a cheeky skinny dip in the watering hole, a popular spot for swimming. You can enter your livestock or finest vegetables in the weekly Finchwick Fair and see how you measure up against the rest of the village! A blue ribbon of excellence is just waiting for you along with accolades and praise from your neighbours – those who aren’t seething with jealousy, that is! Get milk from cows, wool from your llamas, and eggs from your chickens. Or, if that seems a bit tame, try domesticating the local wild bunnies and birds who will visit and give you cool little gifts – except for the foxes who will, as mentioned above, nick your eggs and do other mischief!
