Weather and the seasons themselves are an absolute game changer in The Sims, from both a gameplay and a storytelling perspective.

Without question, my top pick for The Sims 4’s Expansion Packs is Seasons. They can even take part in Canning to preserve fruits and vegetables, something that screams nostalgia and took me right back to a similar feature from The Sims: Livin’ Large (is this giving away my age?)ĮA / Maxis / YouTube: The Sims Sims can experience the four seasons, rounding out gameplay to make the world feel more alive. What’s more, the pack ships with two unique Lot Challenges - ‘Simple Living’ and ‘Wild Foxes’ - with the former requiring ingredients to be bought, grown, or collected before being able to cook a particular recipe. In Cottage Living, you can raise and keep your own animals, from chickens to cows and, of course, llamas (would it be The Sims without them, after all?) and each one also provides their own produce which can be used in different ways.

While this is definitely due to the pack’s British theme overall (you can nip into The Gnome’s Arms pub for a spot of fish and chips) - something that hadn’t been done until this pack - it’s just a feel-good, beautifully detailed Expansion Pack that lets Sims live off of the land and connect with nature. EA / Maxis / YouTube: The Sims Cows, llamas, and chickens - oh my! Cottage Living introduced ways to live off of the land and connect with nature.Īrriving when the Cottagecore trend was at its peak, The Sims 4 Cottage Living is undoubtedly one of my favorite packs ever from The Sims.
