![]() If you’ve seen one jumpsuit, you’ve kind of seen them all, beyond colour differences. Admittedly, that’s nothing new for simulations, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore it.Īdditionally, I’m further disappointed at the utter lack of new swimwear and, to a lesser extent, exercise wear. What’s there is undeniably nice (I especially love the heavy overcoat over the checkered shirt), but Cottage Living just doesn’t dole out the same cornucopia of options for people looking for a masculine style than a feminine one. On the whole, I had less to work with and I couldn’t really create enough unique outfits for every outing. There were only three new hairstyles compared to the feminine options’ twelve. It did mean I had to use the same socks in nearly all of them, but they look nice by my metric.īut when I started working on the more masculine outfits for my second Sim, Barbara Dugnutt, I found that the variety seemed to take a bit of a dive. With two exceptions, I was able to manage to create a unique outfit for each of the game’s suggested categories using only the new additions. Some of the outfits were a bit too frumpy for my tastes, but there was certainly enough to pick from that I was satisfied with her options on the whole. She had access to blouses, sweaters, vests, skirts, pants, dresses, and more in equal measure. For Penelo, I chose the long hairstyle with a kerchief and was glad to see that I could also give her some funky hexagonal glasses and cute strawberry earrings. Cottage Living adds a variety of new hairstyles and outfits that are mostly themed around the general Cottagecore aesthetic. 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.
