Although this beautiful farmhouse was built before Cottage Living was released, it still very much fits the Cottagecore vibes. Add a chicken coop or a barn to the build and you’re set. Plus, no Custom Content was used to build it so you don’t have to worry about missing furniture or decorations.

It was built by u/CatSaar on Reddit and shared on the game’s subreddit. It is equally well-decorated indoors and outdoors with a beautiful Cottagecore kitchen. This cute farmhouse is just a delight to inhabit.

The inside of the house itself is dark and gives off a vintage vibe with candles everywhere and large bookshelves on the walls. It looks like the perfect place for an older couple that just wants to live their retirement years in peace.

7 Hilltop Cottage

This beautiful build was created with an idea in mind: it’s meant for a spellcaster to inhabit, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t move in if your Sims is a regular human.

You can place this small house on a larger lot and do with its exterior whatever you please. There is still room for some creativity here if you want to make it yours.

community garden the sims cottage living

Unfortunately, the park that was added with Cottage Living is a bit… bland. It’s huge but there is not much to do there, so Reddit user u/AtLeastOneCat created this beautiful community garden with the Cottage Living expansion pack for everyone to enjoy. There’s a cafĂ© in the middle, lots of benches and places to host a barbecue if you’d like and, of course, gardening spots to improve your skill.

It’s full of greenery and, although it isn’t a house, it truly fits with the aesthetic of this new pack and it’d be a great addition to anyone’s map.

2 Cottage In A Box

The Sims 4 have a building tool that gives you a lot of creative freedom, it is possible to create the craziest builds if you set your mind on it. Reddit user u/MyaSchmya has done just that with this creation that they’ve named Cottage In A Box. It’s an inhabitable house that looks like it’s been shrunk down.

1 The Lost Aliens Cottage

Reddit user u/MardyYardy, same gallery ID, has created this lovely and seemingly normal little cottage using the Cottage Living expansion pack. However, if you pay closer attention to it, there’s a secret behind this sweet home. It harbors an Alien that has crash-landed in Henford-On-Bagley.

Play this household if it caught your interest (or even if you think the storyline makes no sense) and help him get back home by living the farm life as he fixes his ship. The attention to detail in this one is exceptionally great and it’s certainly worth downloading.
