Our Sims can even befriend their flock, which will help them in everyday farming works. The expansion encourages players to be self-sufficient - we can now grow our own crops and use them to make delicious fresh meals.There is even a food growing contest when our proteges can preset their fruits and vegetables to the rest of the countryside community. It is worth mentioning that farming is not the only way to find ingredients - the town\'s market is always full of fresh vegetables, and fruits.Moreover, the nearby forest has everything that\'s necessary to get by. As in other big DLCs, The Sims 4: Cottage Living not only enriches the gameplay but also gives players new options during the Sims creation process.
