Since I've only played the Sims 4, I can say that Cottage Living was a life changer. It's probably the coziest expansion pack in the entire game so far after Outdoor Retreat.
In winter, we get about one week of cold wind and maybe some rain. Winter is still pretty warm and we don't get rain until April-July when it's rainy season.
Hello and good day! I'm mino and I've been playing the Sims 4 for about four years, now and every few months I'm inspired to hyperfocus on gameplay for hours and hours and I can't seem to stop :o Haha, it's my first time in the forums and I'm excited to become a part of this community <3
