I built a dreamy, family cottage in The Sims Cottage Living 

I didn't know that, but now the pack not having foundations actually makes sense

THIS!! every time I see a creater make a cottage but with like a 5 step raised deck - it automatically makes it look American for me not British

We should have foundations tho lol the amount of rain we get :)

but where do you put the cellar windows? :o

So true! I have never seen a British house with raised foundation, most of the houses in my village were built in the seventeenth century, raised foundations were not a think back then!!!

Same in US^

I immediately thought the same 😂😂

HAHAHA! Canada is SO different to USA or England!

@@Iristoddlewis Yes and no. I use to visit the Yukon quite a bit when I lived in Alaska. I was always struck by how so super nice people were and how it's ingrained even things like the traffic rules. For instance if I went to cross the road... instead of waiting for the traffic to clear... the cars stopped for me! That was very odd... but nice. I also found many of the bars to be very UK pub-like in atmosphere. In other ways like shopping, vehicles, and architecture & entertainment it was more like the US. The Mounties are quite unique. They can be very British-like and serious when dealing with a legal issue... but also irreverent and funny (not British-like) at other times. One of them helped play a funny joke on me... It's a long story but to make it short it ended with him saying (I swear he had what sounded like a Scittish brogue)... "So last I hear you like to drop the pants on the Mounties" (while lifting the front of his Serge as if he was going to undo his trousets). Mind you this was in the middle of a formal meal at an international conference with about 500 people and a spotlight on me! I was redder than his uniform!😄😂🤣 Yes a Mounties pants had fallen down a couple of days earlier during a photo-op... but I swear I had nothing to do with it! I was just standing there.... and he was actually a giant Mountie Mannequin.😄 For the rest of the conference it was... "That's the girl that pantsed the Mountie!" ... even the elevator.🙄

The same in us

Or under the stairs!

Yes thats exactly what we have just our landing bathroom is 2 rooms, one with a loo and one with the sink and bath. But theyre right next to eachother

@@lillihampson3697 correct!

Also, the older homes put the toilet in a separate room

Or if you have money. The more expensive the house the more bathrooms you have in my experience

So true bestie!!!!

I think so too, there is a lot of gameplay in this and a whole new world as well as a bunch of nice furniture, I think maybe some curtains would have been nice though.

@@willowweedsYT Lol maybe a few 😂

Yep, we use what the council gives us. :)

It's the same across the UK :)

@@katherineanne2068 Ahh I didn’t know this?! But I live in NW England and have family elsewhere in England that have a different variation of colour of bins? Love that this is a convo i’m interested in lol :)

@@evaward-smith1859 I live in Scotland and we have different bin colours for each county :) mine are blue, green, black and brown

@@katherineanne2068 Ohh I thought you meant the colours are the same between county’s! I see! Funnily enough I have the same bin colours :)

Omg!! 🤣🤣🤣

I'm from the Netherlands as well, and I've never seen an on-suite. I learned about them existing through the sims 4 builds I watch here on RU-vid 🤣

This makes so much sense omg. I live in the Welsh countryside and I'm not sure I've ever seen a thatched roof in real life!

@@theladynim2 I've been to Blaenau Ffestiniog a few times so that's where I'm basing my idea of 'Welsh Countryside' from, and being entirely surrounded by a National Park isn't too far from that.

Thatched roofs are common to the west country plus the Cotswolds, but lots of slate roofs further north. Americans tend to have firm ideas of what is essentially British or English, but are often wrong! Heck, they think we live in igloos in Canada! Anyway, I see much that can be considered traditionally English in the pack. True that cottages are generally one storey with few bump-outs, but terraced homes are usually two-storey, not found in country settings as a rule. Cottage gardens are common in country areas, less so in towns. Lots of hanging planters and window boxes since Britain in Bloom was popular. Follow Harrie for sure -she is current!

@@theladynim2 I live in South Wales, there are a couple really old houses where I live, where my village has left them how they were a while ago with thatched roofing but mostly there are no thatched roofs

I’m also from the UK and the generalisation of our architecture makes me smile. Almost every county has a different architectural type. From sandstone, to ironstone, red brick new builds. The list goes on. We don’t all live in thatched cottages or castles 😂

Yeah it’s not something you’d find in a British cottage - more a Victorian terraced house (which I would LOVE a pack on)

@@Lizziel23 I'm curious to see what region they choose next. Tokyo would be awesome. Another apartment city that has a cool night life would be fun. Maybe a new career as a night club owner.

It's inspired by the Cotswolds from the first glance. Obviously, some artistic license was used but that's the image I got.

minus the foundation

Still wouldn't call new British homes big compared to most other European and American homes, bigger than cottages sure but not big

@@chloelittle6257 For context the U.K. as a whole doesn't have much space, it entirely fits in Texas (I think), there is simply no room to make houses that big.

I know our heritage builds are the old cottages but we aren’t all stuck up high English tea people as most houses now are modern so we shouldn’t still be stuck with that label

I came here to say the same thing, I'm from Germany and I only ever heard of the concept of an en suite by watching sims videos. It's definitely goals though

I live in the British countryside and can confirm en suites are pretty uncommon here but some houses definitely do have them, especially bigger houses.

@@theladynim2 yeah, but lets be real here the only people with ensuites here are very wealthy. Like i definately couldnt afford one

was going to say exactly the same. I live in Belgium, on the countryside and I live in a big house, but definitly no en suites. Had not even an idea what it was supposed to be :P

@@lillihampson3697 For the most part definitely (especially in the countryside). In cities they're increasingly common in new builds and tiny flats that are basically one room.

Keep cutting back the vines as they form, it will Bush up nicely and give it something to grow along that's all I do with mine and it looks awesome

Yesss

there is three bedrooms

@@allyhendrix1289 It was a general comment. I sew many speed builds called "Family" home, cottage etc with only 2 rooms

Right!

I’m in Cornwall too 🙌🏻

You're 'posh' if you have an ensuite in the UK. :)

Then I'm gonna try. I've had almost everything dying on me too, even succulents! Too much water, too little, too much sun, too little... I just don't know anymore! 😂
