I spent a lot of time designing my new Sim, Penelo McMacenstein, and her options were plentiful. Still, anyone who knows me knows that I can spend a good amount of time in character creators and Cottage Living did not disappoint me on that front. The Sims 4: Cottage Living, the latest Sims 4 expansion from Maxis and Electronic Arts, doesn’t quite offer an exact substitute for what I love about that place, but it does a great job of meeting the same aesthetics and presenting a fun view of what a loving, rural, close-knit town can look like.
It has been a pleasure to visit, both in my early years and as a young adult, though I’ve certainly missed the place after our little global pandemic. Of course, it wasn’t exactly the picture of Cottagecore, but I’d probably hate actually living in a more prototypical location. Barn cats roamed the fields and sheep filled the smelly barn. There was even a butter churner inside, though I don’t remember seeing anyone use it. Sheep and chicken were framed in cute little quilts and paintings and the carpets were soft enough to sleep on. It always felt like a huge place, with hidden staircases and rolling doors galore. My father actually was raised around a barn and, thankfully, that old home is still owned by an aunt of mine and her family. That’s not to say I’ve never spent the night out on the land or that I’ve never seen a sheep, mind you.
I’ve primarily spent my life in different suburbs and cities throughout the United States, but I’ve never really had the chance to live in a charming rural locale before.
