the new food prep system is more realistic as you have to process food before, and do some steps to complete a recipe. it made me think about ts2 a lot! also, I love the fact that you can just let your pizza wand waffles cook and start doing other chores (just like the washing machine) and not just stand in front of the stove...

also, the new food is very detailed! on a sad note, I don't think the new food is available for restaurants (pretty weird)

Dream Home Decorator: Build & Buy Preview

This is where the pack really shines. A lot of effort was given to provide a lot of usable content to decorate with when employed as an interior designer. I assume this was done for those that may only have this pack plus basegame. So we get the modular items, two kitchens, two sectionals, and quite a few beds/bunkbeds and other items. There are 140 new build/buy items (136 if you take out combined bunkbed items)for the pack which is really unprecedented. 

This is not really representative of total work, as modular sofas contain about 8 pieces each, the chaise parts are 4 items (yes, individual so plenty of choice), and then there are all the kitchen parts (full kitchens with counters, cabinets and islands). The modular stuff also can be put together in a myriad of ways which just increases it’s usefulness. 

The colour choice is also lovely. It’s very muted/pastel in nature, not a scheme we often get and it helps integrate it with other styles. I do think it’s a decent number of swatches, but i would also not say not to more, but I do love choice. 

Does this come at the cost of anything? Well of course. This pack is lighter on gameplay then other GPs and there is no getting around that fact. With a strict budget you have to divide your time much like a person would do during a day. You can’t make more daylight to get things done, you make do and divide up your time to accomplish what you want. Do i think it was a bad decision? No. This pack is going to appeal to a specific player that likes building and decorating, and quite frankly, it’s a group that often gets ignored (Can we just remember all those times when we get a gameplay heavy pack but build/buy is seriously lacking?). Builders are often regulated to second place when it comes to packs so I am all for getting a GP that has loads of useful items and a nice career I can enjoy when I actually play and interact with sims of the world. Does it sometimes feel shallow? Yes. But i don’t think it detracts here. Just give me all the buildmode content because I doubt i will ever get another pack with this sheer amount of items that are this useable.

Cottage Living CAS

I wasn’t able to rlly play before embargo so i did a small recap on the CAS items. I’m thinking of doing a play through later though. Thank you EA GameChangers for providing a copy!

I must admit... im completely in love with all of the CAS items that came with this pack! For both male and female. The hairs are *chefs kiss* and the clothing OMG sldsddfjsdflkdf. These are just some of my favs.

Although i would’ve preferred maybe a bit more male items but hey... i create a lot of CAS items for females so i rlly don’t mind the new influx in new material XD. Only 2 new bottoms for the dudes is a bit of a bummer and the variations of clothing we got (for the male frame) are kinda similar of the things we already have but again, personally i don’t mind tbh. but that completely depends on what type of player you are.

Im also pleased that we finally get to have some CAS items that can also be worn by our elders. and that it looks ‘realistically’ their age. minus the not being able to give them salt and pepper hair in every hairswatch.

Now this pack and vibe was something i was waiting for for quite some time now so maybe im biassed ;) Thank god @plumbobteasociety released their Cottage Garden collab in 2017 which is still to date something i use a lot and will compliment this pack a lot!

i haven’t been excited for a pack in a long time! and will share more abt it these coming weeks! rlly hope it lives up to what Ive seen/experienced so far!

Also can’t wait to start creating stuff with the new content! <333
