Cottage Living Addons Ideas «12...Next Go

Suceress

I know Cottage Living just came out so there's no rush for new stuff, but I would love to have some more farm stuff.
Sheep- They could be similar to llamas & since they produce wax on their wool, you could get some wax from them. Instead of spitting they could heatbutt people.
Goats- They could eat weeds, graze on grass/hay, and produce milk. They can also headbutt & hop around to play
Churning butter (I don't know if this is a thing, but when I googled I didn't see that it was possible to make butter)
Cheese (I've heard that you can make cheese but am not sure how & it would be neat to make different varieties of cheese)
Bulls- It would be nice to have a bull to produce calves or just keep the cows company
Horns on cows- yes, female cows can have horns. Most of my cows have had horns, although 1 of my current ones does not because her father was polled (hornless). When horned cows die, you can keep the horns to craft in to decorations or hang up somewhere.

I have more ideas but my brain is shutting down on me.

Never heard of sheep wool producing wax, I am sure if they do the quantity is quite small, like ear wax. Sheep wool however is a natural fire repellant, we could make fire resistant carpets from it. Sheep also produce milk and the milk can be used to produce cheese and yoghurt.

Sugar cane.

I do like the idea of sheep and goats, as well as these animals having the ability to produce offspring.

Pretty much 100% picks of mine as well. Maybe not the pizza oven but not because I don't want it but because I'd put it in a different pack. Make that double on the butterchurn.

Personally I would have added fairies (and werewolves tbh) originally in this pack as well but thats just me. They are part of the folklore of the British Isles and Ireland after all. It was such a missed opportunity.

Horses and cows you can breed, activities like old fashioned games, butter churn...

Gamer_34567544

How about dolls you can make for your kids?

MasonGamer

Pigs.

Gamer_34567544

I wonder if the animals will act less like pets, too, eventually? I feel there's a difference between pets and livestock.

But if we're going to add pigs, maybe add a butcher shop.

ChampandGirlie

Horses for sure, I am guessing they decided that horses have a lot of unique gameplay.
Sheep, maybe goats and pigs
Butter churning
High tea/tea sets
If they want to be global, they could add loom-weaving which is historic and a craft in many parts of the world.
Going with the English theme, croquet / cricket / rugby.
Mediterranean agriculture; vineyards
Milling grain (historic); crops
Maybe an update to Outdoor Retreat with more to do / that fits the rustic theme.

Gamer_34567544

Horses definitely!

Suceress

I agree that horses would be cool. I think they might be a bit more complicated than an addon pack would allow. Probably should get their own pack-- Equestrian Adventures or something like that.

The farmland mod introduces all of this and more.Sheeps,pigs,rabbitschickens and cows as well as horses.There is also a tractor to cultivate fields as well as water sprinklers and greenhouses.There is also a windmill and even a story to follow with quests.Sadly all the stuff can only be used in the new area that fused with brindleton map.But if you really want farm stuff combining it with cottage is the way to go.

Do you have a link to this mod? I've seen videos of it but am not sure where to get it.

More farm animals...ducks, goats, sheep, pigs...Horses for SURE. can either have a working Horse, show Horse, or just a pet. And DEFINITELY able to have babies with all included animals. I know chickens can have chicks, but a baby Llama/cow would be adorable. More interactions with toddlers/children, especially with the baby animals. Also, more color options. Like multicolored Llamas instead of just beige and white. And same with cows. Maybe different breeds? And multiple animals able to inhabit one shed, like maybe an option for a bigger shed. Add a working dog trait too possibly if you wanted to have a farm dog. A freelance career with filling orders for wool, milk, eggs, hand crafted items, and canning/pies would be kind of fun. I know there's plopsy, but an actual freelance career that took specific orders would be kind of fun for me personally.

Goat

Sheep

Ducks

Although I do want more animals to be added, I would’ve also liked to see more mushroom themed build items/ different kinds of mushrooms besides the amanita. It would’ve been great for cottagecore builds.

Suceress

Mushroom options would be cool! Giant mushroom houses would be cute. Have a bunch of blue sims characters in white hats and pants. :P
In all seriousness, being able to add mushrooms as decor or even have them be edible would be cool. I'd love to have the "chicken of the forest" mushrooms.

And since not all cottages are in lush areas, it would be cool to have some desert themed ones with cacti and succulents. This could tie in with the prickly pear catci that produce pears, maybe the thorns could be made in to needles for sewing, and in real life the skins are harvested to make faux leather.

I'd also love more variety in the looks for cows. I want cows with horns. I'd love to have one that looks like older cow and one that looks like her daughter (who is all grown up now). My older cow is a brahma jersey mix. She's red with a white spot on her forehead and very large horns. Her daughter is part Brangus and is black with white on her face.

It would be fun to have options to have non-modern farms, like neolithic type farms and victorian type farms, with different aesthetics and tools.

I really want to see more animals!
Especially parrots and reptiles. We had them in Sims 1, Sims 3 and even Sims FreePlay, a mobile game!

Suceress

Is Freeplay still around? I can't remember if I ever played it or not.

LIL_Lilly

I really just want butter churning, cheese making. and more animals: sheep, bulls, cats that catch mice, pigs, and animal genetics.
