You are the second person I have seen who has said that lot traits will be converted to challenges. What does that mean? Does that mean traits like Off-the-grid will now only be useable in challenges? I would hate that. Why can't we just have new and old lot traits which are both useable in challenges and useable…

It's fine if the pack doesn't interest you, but this isn't accurate. Just saying that something is recycled doesn't make it so. Does the activity do the same thing, use the same animations and/or have the same properties? If not, then it is not recycled. In response to your point, cross-stitching in the pack comes with 34…

I like both sets too, for their style, and I think they look like they are very well made. What appealed to me about the Country Kitchen set, and the reason I ended up buying it (even though I don't really like the idea of kits in general), is that it looks very well-worn. In that way, it makes a nice contrast with the…

It's true! Avocados are more useable in salads and salsas, I guess. Mind you, I wouldn't have thought there could be any sort of lettuce or aubergine preserve either, but apparently they're a thing. However, regardless, I would certainly like to have cherry, pineapple and elderberry jellies, and also coconut milk. In real…

I am pretty pleased with the canning details I've learned so far. Sixteen varieties with just the basegame and Cottage Living is pretty good for a start; I think I saw preserves made of blackberry, apple, cowplant, one with a label of an egg with milk which is probably custard, aubergine, lettuce, eggs, strawberry, tomato,…

I hope canning in Cottage Living is at least at the level of the Sims 3 Store Canning station and its products. In the Sims 1, there was a canning station but it was very basic. Using it produced a crate of 6 jam jars which your sim could sell immediately or give away as a gift (which did have the advantage of providing a…

I am so thrilled about kids being able to garden in all kinds of pots (as well as water and weed), and not just in the new Cottage Living patch as some had feared. It sounds as though they can do a lot that's the same as what adult sims can already do (except maybe plant seeds on their own?) and there are also some new…

Please note that if you wanted farming content in the Sims 3, you had to pay about $13 or $14 more for all the various store sets than you will have to pay for this EP (as I pointed out in another thread), and the animals were still tied to objects then as well (and not nearly as nicely animated). Plus there is, at least…

There are some pies available in the Baking Skill too, but I agree it would nice to have some more under cooking. I wish that they would include some uniquely British pies like Custard, Banoffee, Bakewell tart, etc (I could go on but I will restrain myself).

I think the reason it became a discussion thread instead of a facts thread was because the facts suddenly dried up, for now. But we can (and my hope is we will) restore it to being a facts thread as soon as any new facts come out.

About the decorative tea kettle: I know what you mean! It's so frustrating just to see it (same with the one on the Tiny Living shelf). I am a tea-drinker myself, and I want a teapot that sims can fill, lift and pour. It would also be nice to have drinking tea with delicate china tea cups or eastern-style bowls as a group…
-
There's no reason to be rude. I was just making the point that we don't know everything that is in the pack yet, which is rather obvious as we have only had the reveal trailer so far, plus some Q&A from the Simgurus. I also didn't really expect the pack to contain fairies or a new occult, and I am fine with that as long as…
-
I don't think there is as little gameplay in this pack as some are implying. There may even be more than we know at this point. And I don't understand the complaint that the farm animals are objects, since I want my sims to own a lot of them, and I don't really want them to take up household slots. I am mainly disappointed…
-
Thanks for the tip. I do know about Brazenlotus (I actually support her on Patreon), and I even have some of her harvestables in the game and also some of her recipes (I confine them to particular saves). I think she is brilliant. I like how all her stuff is maxis match (her pumpkins use the mesh from the Spooky Day…
-
Well of course these are just guesses, made after staring at these images on my high resolution TV. I suppose I should just be more patient and wait the six weeks until the pack releases, which would no doubt be more sensible.
-
Thank you for the information, which was all very interesting. What is that brown and white dish in front of the Sim on the left at 1:27 in the trailer then, I wonder? I had assumed it was Shepherd's Pie, but now it is the new mystery. (The Sim across from him appears to be eating what I thought looked like Toad in a hole,…

Well, maybe pets don't literally get cold, but for whatever reason, my Sims' dogs and cats always run back indoors during thunderstorms and blizzards, and their little icon shows the orange colour of the tense emotion. They also do not go outside, except to go potty, when it is bitter cold. So I assumed they were at least…
-
I think there is a Sim eating Shepherd's Pie in the trailer; he's among the group of 3 at the picnic table. The dish looks like a square of ground beef (which is brown in colour), with a layer of mashed potatoes on top. It looks like Shepherd's Pie to me, at any rate. This dish of red stacked layers with white on top looks…

This thread makes me wonder what the poor animals will do when it is bitter cold or when there is a dangerous storm, if you have Seasons installed. Will they disappear into those black holes to hide in their sheds for the duration? Or stand shivering in the bitter cold?
-
I agree with all these suggestions for more instruments and bands playing together, but the one thing I want above all, which we didn't have in the Sims 3, is the an option for sims to sing with bands. You could have a jazz band with a jazz singer, a rock band with a lead singer, a classical trio (piano, violin and bass or…
-
Thanks for reminding me about the foraging. I think I am just afraid with the invention of "chocoberries" that the new harvestables will be mostly fictional or silly, (rather than being real and useful, like vanilla bean, currants, raspberries, plums, cranberries, etc). Honestly, why couldn't they have gone with the real…
-
What is the likelihood that we will still be getting fairies, do you think? They were absolutely my favourite occult lifestate in the Sims 3, but I fear we will either not get them at all, or that they will be badly done. For instance, I wouldn't want them at all if their children were not magical and had no powers of…
-
We used to have plum trees in the Sims 3 (they came with World Adventures). I still hold out hope that we will get them again in the Sims 4 at some point. This would be normally have been the best time to implement them (along with other wonderful native English fruits like currants, raspberries, sloes, cranberries,…

Does anyone think there might be anything special added to the gnomes in the game with this pack, or am I being silly? Remember how in Makin' Magic sims could enchant their garden gnomes to take care of their gardens (of course if the spell went wrong they would destroy it instead). Perhaps that new gnome with the…

Apparently eggplant jam is a thing after all, but eggplant relish does sound good as well. My mum, who canned a lot, was an expert at making good relishes; she made the most delicious tomato relish when I was young, which was very tomatoey, fresh and good. We preferred it to ketchup in our family, because it was less…

What I really want to know is this: can our Sims' dogs keep foxes out of their chicken coops? It would be great if dogs could challenge foxes, or even fight them off, if they were trying to steal eggs or chickens.
-
Apparently there is a new group cooking activity which can be performed by the whole family, and kids can participate it in it. There is an animation of this midway through the trailer. I am thrilled about this sort of enjoyable family moment, because it never occurred to me that they would bring something like that to the…
