There's a rumor going around town at the Cottage Secret Lot at the waterfall Bramblewood in Henford On Bagley a family of gnomes been sighted whether it's true or not they have one animal shed one chicken coop a small fishing pond two bedroom one bathroom with a few activities for one or two parents and a child to enjoy Cottage Secret Gnomes family are in my catalog if you like to play them in their own Cottage Living Gnome house
Thanks @Ianlyn and @luckyheather for your lovely comments. I find building a bit daunting, but this pack and all the amazing builds on here inspired me to give it a go. I also decided not to use MOO, which was a challenge but I think worked out okay. All I need is a horse and stable now and it will be my sim's dream home.
Hi @annaliese39 all you need is practice and ideas, I love to Google images now and then and I have folders on desktop full of more folders to look at a specific theme, I have been building since sims 1 so I need inspiration for ideas that pop into my head. I always use the cheat codes before I build as having furniture not against a wall (without Moo) bugs me Lol and I always use a Sim to change the lights to white and to test routing around the build and test some objects. Plus going in and out of live mode/build/buy the price drops.
Horses and vehicles would be great, I miss them all plus riding a broom oh and genies and fairys floating along. Sims 3 is amazing for them.
@lanlyn I agree horses take up a lot of room but at least in Sims 3 you can put down the plot size you want where ever you wanted it, 4 worlds are gorgeous landscaping but some have so few lots and not enough large ones for farms etc.
@luckyheather Yeah, most Sims 4 lots are smaller, and we don't have a lot of choices either. At least we now have more worlds and can visit all of them easily in each save. Might be nice to get another world like Newcrest but with several large empty lots.
@luckyheather what a cute cozy lot. And the landscaping is gorgeous. Sometimes I'll see a lot that gives me ideas for new gameplay. Your lot does exactly that.
I have from Werewolves to Fairies to Fairy Tales to Farm to Hobbit to Futuristic Cottages builds saved in the Gallery under SEREFRAS. Please let me know if any simmer likes them, thank you.

Story
There was once a Dragon roaming the Forest and causing the Farmers all kinds of chaos so legend says that George was hired to slay the Dragon, so now above the Tavern Bar is his Sword and he did not find the egg that is now kept cool in the Magical fountain and Spell casters gather here in the basement Magic room to use the cauldron then use the Magic Portal to return to the Realm of Magic in the Pub beer garden around back.

Hi @annaliese39 all you need is practice and ideas, I love to Google images now and then and I have folders on desktop full of more folders to look at a specific theme, I have been building since sims 1 so I need inspiration for ideas that pop into my head. I always use the cheat codes before I build as having furniture not against a wall (without Moo) bugs me Lol and I always use a Sim to change the lights to white and to test routing around the build and test some objects. Plus going in and out of live mode/build/buy the price drops.
Horses and vehicles would be great, I miss them all plus riding a broom oh and genies and fairys floating along. Sims 3 is amazing for them.
