If you play long enough with the Simple Living Lot Challenge activated and cook enough meals with it, you gain the ability to write a special cookbook which, when sold, can net you $2500 or, if read, boosts the cooking skill dramatically. The first time I played with the pack in a legacy save, I kept passing the book down through the generations. Now, because of Growing Together, it's the kind of thing I would put in the family keepsake box.

You could also put Books of Life in the family keepsake box too, and literally keep the family alive

I had a sim couple with pregnancy difficulty. I’ve never had that much trouble with my Sims getting pregnant, but this couple probably had 5 failures. Then lo and behold, I thought I would spice things up in the animal shed, and they got pregnant. Twin baby girls who I couldn’t help but name Bessie and Daisy, after the many many cows who seem to don those names 😂

@haileybalmer9722 10 месяцев назад

A couple of in depth tips I'll add that relate: - Canning is a great way to make more money from your garden. You can turn a 1 simoleon mushroom into three jars of 22 simoleon conserve. It's a great way to make money if you want to just live a country life. - Wild foxes are super fun if you have the realm of magic pack. Put the wild foxes challenge on your magic house, and then you can befriend them and have a magic user with a wild fox for a pet. I think it's fun. - Kids can cross stitch, and that's just my favorite. I don't know about you all, but I love child inclusive hobbies. Giving them something to do besides their homework and making a mess is always a plus in my book. Also, little kids with grandma hobbies is just the best, always. - Rabbit raising challenge is fun, super cute. You should try it, I loved it.

An alternate store idea for those with Get To Work and Cottage Living -- make your own grocery store and sell your own produce and canned goods! That's what my cottagecore occult trio is doing in my current main save -- they have a farm in Henford-On-Bagley, and their store is in San Myshuno because I felt the city folk would appreciate fresh produce the most. :) They sell various raw produce, ready-made meals and baked goods, canned items (including some mod-added stuff from Simsonian Library's Simsco Canning Factory mod), flower arrangements, and meat that the werewolf Sim has hunted. I also plan to add toy robots (as the vampire is a robotics expert) and potions (from my spellcaster -- also, let me tell you, Copypasto is a super-useful spell for filling those shelves!).

@Ellary_Rosewood 10 месяцев назад

Cottage Living is STILL my favorite pack and world, even after all this time. It's the place I go when I'm feeling down and I need to get away from the world for a while. I wish I could live in Henford on Bagley!

@ElainaMaria87 9 месяцев назад

It’s my favourite too, which is why I’ve started a legacy based in Henford. I’ve tried to live in the other worlds and I always move them back to Henford (or Sulani, I love it as well).

Something I've found, if you are selling items on a stall, you get a lot more interest and sales if you sell at the Finchwick Fair than anywhere else. Also the best canned products to do are the chocolate syrup, custard and mayo because they're a lot quicker than the ones that require cooking.

I like to play with simple living and off the grid in the house next to the waterfall. You can collect water and fish without going too far from your house! Although, I do forget to pay my bills lol

@recordtapesbackward 10 месяцев назад

@fableSimmer 10 месяцев назад

Ohhh I love the first idea and now I want to play as a Wandering painter. There's a great mod to set filters on reference paintings to make them look better or make them black and white, sepia, etc. Definitely a recommend because for some reason the paintings from reference always look blotchy, which is fine. But I prefer clear paintings like the normal ones.

I actually just started a new Cottage Living legacy save last week! This is by far my favorite expansion pack in the game, it feels like a stand-alone game in itself! It's a shame though that the Finchwick Fair minor contests are bugged where you don't win anything from them. I loved making pies especially :(

A really fun idea i do sometimes when i have the simple living challenge activated, i use the get to work expansion pack and make a grocery store to fill with produce and ingredients so every couple weeks i make it a trip to go to the grocery store with my sims and we hang out around town 🥰

@heath6802 10 месяцев назад

I actually went through in my personal save and made every lot “simple living” and in almost every world, built a store with grocery stuff, and other stuff you’d see in a store like bathroom stuff and make up and kids toys. I didn’t change them much for each world except change the color schemes and maybe add some stuff from the pack the world came with! I had every store be called “Langraab ___” like the one in Brindleton Bay is “Landgraab Country Store” and the one in Komerebi is “Langraab Konbeni” and of course... they’re all owned by the Landgraab family! I try to buy all that I can from the stores instead of buying from build buy in the case of furniture

Well, how about your knitting people having a couple of Llamas to get wool from. Along with the garden, bunnies and birdies just so you can get all sorts of color of wool to knit with. Oh and chickens because some treats need eggs. Or, do the Grilled Cheese aspiration with Simple Living. Along with a cow for milk to make the cheese and then you just need to buy flour for the bread.

Hey guys, little off-topic: is the glitch where cows, chicken, etc die even with animal aging turned off, still happening? I'm thinking of buying the pack but I read about the glitch and didn't see that it was solved anywhere. I would never cope with my animals dying so it's a critical part in my decision. Thanks if anyone can inform me about this!

@morinomajou 10 месяцев назад

Idk about the PC version, but this is definitely still a problem in the console version sadly. That said, I haven't got the Cats and Dogs pack yet, so haven't tested whether the anti-ageing treats work on farm animals; I'll come back to this thread when I have, unless anyone who has both packs can weigh in in the meantime haha! EDIT: Actually just looked it up, and the Healthy Treat you can get/make in Cottage Living increases animals' lifespans too! So you can keep them alive forever just by making a batch of those and feeding them one regularly. It's a bit of a palaver compared to how easy it is to keep human sims and other pets alive, but at least it's something!

10 месяцев назад

@@morinomajou thanks for the answer! I saw that in the next patch they will fix the bug, so it will be okay for everyone, hopefully 😊 probably we can thank the horse pack for that because people would murder them if their horses died when aging was disabled 😅
