I recently purchased Cottage Living, I'm really enjoying it.
We know that some venues may affect gameplay depending on the neighborhood in a certain world... so:
What lots do you guys use that don't conflict with Cottage Living gameplay? Especially at Finchwick!
Retails, restaurants, parks, nightclubs?
Thanks in advance

Atleast that’s how I interpret Henford in my game. I am curious as to what others have added in theirs
Two pubs and an auld stone church with a cemetery - and frankly - that’s all a village like HoB needs ( and usually has).
The pubs are a bar and a restaurant.
The church (a wedding venue) has a library with stone steps that lead to a vampire maze crypt which leads to another spine chilling subterranean place…which - depending on the mood of the ehr…village natives- may or may not lead to a sim’s demise…
Indeed indeed,…there’s no place as welcoming to newcomers as the “sleepy” old town of Henford on Bagley…😈
I have tiny church set as museum lot type
(which i tend to use for churches because wedding lot type is so glitchy and i don't like sims running around taking pictures)
it also has very tiny graveyard next to it which i plan to use for sims that die in Henford although for now its deco graves and Cecilias grave and i hate that game deletes ghosts out of households cause I am quite sure she is gone by now *sighs*
and gnomes arms is there slightly edited but in its original lot type i just added some things
None in the woodsy part i forgot name of suddenly i had other use for the park
aand old new henford has Frogs Wallow I built
its meant to be lodging but I set it as restaurant for now and it works quite nice like that
if i had more space in finchwick I would probably add library, vet clinic or retail (say butchers shop or bakery or crafts or something)

In another save I downloaded a nightclub that looks like a barn up towards the hilly area.
Although I haven’t done it yet, I wanted to make a couple of country stores ( retail from Get To Work ). in finchwick f town part ). I was thinking of making a bakery/ country store/ orchard, that sells bakery items , and plates of food, and you can pick fruit from tree’s. Then I was also going to make a furniture store with the furniture you can make with the woodworking skill and the maker machine ( civil engineering career from Eco living ). Also my Daughter has a furniture store in her game that sells things like beds that have been updated by someone with high handiness skill that I thought I would try putting those in the furniture store too.
Something else I thought might be good is a community lot from Eco living that is a lot with sales tables and a couple food booths, along with a community garden, probably will be marked as a market place ( I think that’s what it is called in Eco living ). In San Myshuno, I turned the Salt house ( adding a basement ) into a community lot that could function as any of the 3 community lots ). I was pleasantly surprised to see people selling things like wax, dyes etc.
In one of my saves I also put a tent, bbq, picnic table, ice chest on a tarp, and bathroom in the park, so my sims can spend the night if they are collecting things.
Funny, I was thinking the the little lots way up on the hill would be a great place for a witches hut!

The Sims 4 General DiscussionCountry Club - Could be a Lounge/Restaurant/Gym/Spa. Have sports facilities, fishable pond, hot tub, spa items, MWS champagne buckets, entertainment area with stage, bar/dining room, indoor games, kids area (indoor and out), outside sports courts, tea room etc. Have wealthy/snobby sims in clubs who hang out there. If it's a Lounge you could make it a Hot Spot with lot traits for celeb sightings/events.
I turned the pub into the Three Broomsticks, basically just a rename.
I am thinking of putting in Madame Puddifoots Tea Shop, but it's going to have to be Madame Puddifoots Boba Tea shop, which will look odd having people sip out of plastic cups with straws. I will probably throw in several My Wedding Stories tea sets so I can have a more formal Tea experience as well.
I'm starting the conversion of this house into a Tea Shop now.
Finchwick will have the following venues: pub, community space with thrift store, library, museum combo and a karoke bar with a small stage outside to be used when the weather isn't nasty
Great tips everyone! Thanks!
I will second many of you, I will go for a restaurant. I already have a shell But the layout is another story: functionality depends on it so I will built it with patience
I like the retails but I have never had one outside Magnolia. I play the same retails in my main save (5 years old now).
You are right @bshag4lv they are few lot at Finchwick BTW do you know if it safe to evict the pub owner from her house? I know that you should not play that household, but do this household need a house?
Oh @83bienchen I REALLY need to change that Pub, it is pretty but the layout is not gameplay friendly.
My sims went to the fair, it was the same day that New Year's Eve, it was really fun but: My reno was not enought to avoid the crowded reception of the New Year.
BTW @crocobaura I also built a bedroom at the Pub

Thanks for your ideas @EmmaVane You know I have a household at Oasis (one vampire) that loves roommates! Silly me, it never occurred to me to build a bed and breakfast! I always have fun playing her, but with that idea is gonna be a blast (if it is safe to evict the Pub owner I will use that lot for my vampire).
Lol @CAPTAIN_NXR7 my Henford-on-Bangley is gonna be as "sleepy" as yours soon (I'm only moving occults there, yay). Oh, basements vampires friendly are a most in any world!
@SheriSim57 indeed that pretty Cordelia lot is designed for a witch hut... or a werewolf cottage. I want to move my lonely werewolf there but I need first to find the imaginary house plans
Lovely house @CK213 your Hogwarts world is epic

@Simmingal the wedding lot type is glitchy because of the GP? or also with basegame weddings?
The game also delete ghost that are IN a household. As my save is really old the culling is really agressive My ghosts can be culled in 24 sims hours... Sometimes I feel that is time for me to start a new save

The Sims 4 General DiscussionWhat lots did you use for these? My Rock Star lives there currently. I built a house on the hill for him, since he needed the space. The empty lot, just below I built a lot for his only sister and her husband. The other two lots on Mill Lane, I will replace for his two brothers when the time comes for them to move out of Erik's house. Is the pub the one that's already there?
