The Sims 4: Cottage Living is the eleventh expansion pack for The Sims 4. It was announced on June 10, 2021 and was released on all platforms on July 22, 2021.[1]

The expansion is focused on country life, and includes various animals such as cows, chickens, llamas, wild birds, rabbits and foxes. It also features an England-inspired rural world of Henford-on-Bagley. The pack includes elements of The Sims: Unleashed, The Sims 2: Seasons, The Sims 3: Pets and farming sets from The Sims 3 Store.

Official description

Raise or Befriend Animals – The cottage cow provides fresh (flavored!) milk for everyone while chickens lay eggs in the coop. Gather llama wool for crafts, but beware of mischievous foxes – the pesky critters love eggs! In the forest, keep an eye out for wildlife like rabbits and birds to earn their trust for occasional gifts and help in the garden.

Live Off the Land – Make cooking and gardening fun for the whole family. New recipes and Lot Challenges require fresh ingredients for each meal. Whether Sims grow their own produce, visit the village market, or forage in the wild, fresh is best! Up for a challenge? Try growing oversized crops to enter into the competition at the Finchwick Fair.

Embrace Village Life – Henford-on-Bagley is a cozy village where everyone knows everyone. So pack a picnic basket and cross-stitch hoop, and head down to The Gnome’s Arms pub to kick back with the locals after a long day. Earn unique gifts and learn about the town’s lore from neighbors, or participate in the Finchwick Fair to show off your most prized cow or chicken.

New features

Worlds and neighborhoods

The expansion includes a new world - Henford-on-Bagley. It is a rural, UK countryside-inspired world with three neighborhoods and 12 lots.

New additions

New traits

  • Animal enthusiast - These Sims are obsessed with animals, and will seek their company often. They will have an easier time caring for animals and getting closer to them.

    • Campestral Curator - Purchase 1 Cow, Chicken, or Llama on Your Home Lot · Socialize with a Fox, Rabbit, or Bird 5 Times · Purchase 1 Garden Patch for Your Home Lot · Visit Finchwick, Old New Henford, and the Bramblewood Neighborhoods in Henford-on-Bagley

      • Reward trait: Nature Conversationalist - Nature Conversationalist Sims have improved relationships with animals, allowing their animals to live longer, happier lives. Rabbits and birds will bring them more gifts. And they can interact with plants in unique ways, receiving more yield from harvests.
