James truly has a talent in making houses look extremely realistic in the sims! I grew up in the country side and I can think of at least five houses that look like that irl
@@lilmissmonsterrr I do indeed! He’s one of my favourites but I lived in Italy most of my life so there aren’t many builds like the ones he makes there, this one on the other hand SCREAMS northern Italian country side
@@kelseyarmstrong2298 Agreed! I live in the city but most of my family lives in rural Portugal and there are soo many house that look like this over there. I can't go visit them right now because of the pandemic so this made me very nostalgic
OMG, I live in Brazil and my family had this flower farm (all organic guys, no worries). They are from a portuguese family and their farm was on a mountain. It was a gorgeous place, and this build reminded me of it. It is only missing a well. They had this well that had water coming straight from the mountain. I loved the place growing up. I'm totally adding this build to my game, and will add the well. I loved the cars parking, it was exactly like that!
The good news is that your sloping hill with flat areas for planting is accurate. It’s called terrace planting and it is the way you plant on hills. It allows the plants to keep water and not have a huge run off of dort
Yes I know how you feel... I'm 60 years young, and I stay up way past my bedtime to watch James. 😍🤩😍😍. The best part of my day/night and lockdown in Sydney
You must see some pretty intense stuff. I'm glad James exists to give you the quality content needed to give you relaxation and hopefully peace of mind!
Once this officially comes out and you can merge the saves, I’d love to see hazel renovate your old lake house build using the pond tool. I think that’d be sick
To be honest, I don't really see the logo jumping around the screen when watching your videos. I just remember its there whenever you mention it XDD And I hope EA keeps giving you early access to stuff forever, because you're my favorite sims youtuber and its mostly your plays that get me really hyped to buy the new packs... Sooo, just to let EA know that their promotion thing works. I wouldn't have bought the Snowy Escape pack so fast if it weren't for you haha
I'm not gonna lie, I thought that you'd made a tiny house or a set of a couple modelled after the animal shed object, and now I do really wanna see you try it.
Can't wait to get this pack! I'm glad to have an opportunity to watch James playing Cottage living. Edit: the landscaping and terrain work are incredible
As someone who has one of the windows above the bath thing in my house (british countryside yo) you'll usually find they are made so you can't see through them. Some are one way, can't see in from the outside, others (like mine) can't see through both ways.
Yes!!! Loving all this content right now Semaj! This alongside the dream home decorator content has been the highlight of my evenings... As well as the almost daily 'ahhh batuu... Yehaha!!'
I'm currently living right next to a grand designs build (it is loud) so be on a look out for a triangular build next to a railway bridge in the next season (I believe) I have learnt a lot about the behind the scenes of Grand Designs thanks to the neighbours!
@@itsCoopie my mum had a chat with him! And they're currently racing to meet their deadline on Thursday/Friday so he'll be here then. I also have a few sneaky photos on my phone. When he first came (last summer) it was very weird hearing his voice floating through the open windows. Now I think I'm a bit desensitised! Also my mother's gonna be on the episode too, apparently, she had to sign a consent form. (I am not the type to go and say hi to people, so I haven't personally met him or interacted with any of the crew, mostly I've been spying out of windows haha) I'm very interested to see what people think of the build, we've had a lot of mixed reactions from the locals (kids love it adults are confused)
I've never followed a let's play where I had to wait for new episodes b4 cottage living *not so patiently waiting for the next part of rags to riches* 😂😂
Gosh, I am obsessed with this build. 😍 Not just the house and landscaping but the terrain paint is so realistic and detailed, it really brings the whole thing to life!
This build is INCREDIBLE! I can't wait to get my hands on this pack! P.s. from a fellow locked down Sydneysider, thank you so much for your upload schedule right now, my new pre-bed ritual is watching your latest videos
I love the window at the tub, but considering how townies just walk in to your house whenever they want and how they get stuck in a clump almost everywhere, they'll likely stand right outside that window in a gossiping clump. On the other hand, if James were playing in this house and that happened I'd love his reaction. That house is really cute though. Definitely looking forward to downloading it.
If your social is low, just open the window and talk through it while you're still soaking in the tub! They'd still have a hard time seeing in unless they get right beside the window (and there's some bushes in the way) or you're standing up. 😂
@@Iristoddlewis You'd think that but it keeps breaking. Plus, NAPs get chosen at random even if you turn off NPC voting and don't vote on anything yourself in a brand new save game. GOOD LUCK! :D
@@lissaquon607 Yeah, which is a shame because otherwise I like that pack. On the upside, you can easily repeal NAPs in your own neighborhood but meh. Shouldn't be an issue; you should be able to properly turn them off entirely, like with the Dust of all things. (At least I think that one works.)
Watching the way you used the platforms in this house, hit me with the feels, it reminded me of the house my best friend's grandfather lived in. He was an amazing man that accepted me as one of his grandchildren after my grandfather past away.
I'm really hoping pets will be able to Interact with the farm animals. Like how awesome would it be if you could ask your dog to herd the cows/llamas into the shed at night and cats the chickens. It would finally give your pets more use rather than just a weird side character
I was just thinking this yesterday! :) I used to have cattle dogs, and one in particular *loved* to herd the neighbour's chickens and keep the other dogs away from them whenever the birds flew over the fence. I'd love to have him back with my simself but more like himself than I can currently make him. :D
Really impressed by this James. A gorgeous build, great use of the animal sheds with the double gating and that driveway is really inspiring (weird, I know, but terrain tools and terrain painting still intimidate me, so seeing it used so well gives me ideas on how to use it better in the future). Looking forward to the rest of the builds coming and more of the LP as well!
I so love your videos on Cottage Living!! The only thing I hate is the feedback is not "real time"/"usable" until the game comes out and you have access again. Like with Chaz, weird ideas that come from comments that sometimes spark a completely different branch to the LP, not usable because everything was 1) days ago and 2) everything is already filmed. Why can’t The Sims be like "Ok, you have the early access game for 3 days. In two weeks you can post those videos. On that Saturday, you can livestream for 8h max and everyone is happy!" Why can’t they do that? I think it would be an even better teaser!
i definitely think when the dlc releases james has got to update his farm build he made a while ago! as a british kid in the country i love both build but would be cool to see him add the barns and crop plots to the other build!
James this is so realistic, while I was watching this build I found myself saying things like “well that lavender isn’t going to enjoy having such little drainage” and “that staggered hillside planting area would be beautiful for growing strawberries”. Got really excited like I was actually watching grand designs.
This looks great! I love the different levels inside the house, and the double gate system for the animals is very realistic [except for the part where the chickens can walk under the fence]
OMG.. Grand Designs I love it too & Kevin McCloud. The wisteria in this pack is really nice, love the Land Rover as well. Ooooo! The wood pergola is nice as well. I actually got excited when I saw the title... I thought Chaz had come into some money 🤣
i have a sim from my current legacy family that's very into gardening, does flower arrangements every day after school, has a black cat, is friends with her bees, etc etc. she's definitely the sim i wanna use to explore this pack and i think i just found her a house to eventually move in to. can't wait to download this.
Wow James! I love how you implemented split leveling and floor plan is simply brilliant! It's so amazing! That garden is so dreamy! Also love how you always have realism perspective when you build!
Beautiful. I love the fact that you used a project house as your model. Shows not only your capability as a builder but the variety offered in the pack. Really Nice build.
Not sure I'll ever be over how beautiful this build is. That shape and roofline is fantastic, and all that outdoor space - chef's kiss! Can't wait to get my hand on the pack and this build. ♥
When we built our house my parent's ensuite had a massive clear window to look out at the fields behind us, six years later though it was all sold and an old folks home was built. Now it just looks at an 8ft wooden fence 😂😭. Absolutely loving this build, I can't wait til I can download it ❤️
This looks really amazing, from the layout of the house to the platforms to even just the cool little touches you did inside with decorations to tie it all together - honestly this looks like something out of HGTV, it's very cool! And I love that sloping hillside garden section with the dirt patches for your crops. Definitely can't wait to download it from the gallery once the pack is out and you're allowed to put it up there.
This is my favorite build of yours so far! I’ve seen stepped garden levels like that in real life and always like them. The hillside thing with the house flowing down (and the front porch with stacked steps!) is also a fantastic use of platforms.
12:00 living in a rural area those comments on the fence are kind of funny to me. Chickens can fly. It doesn’t matter if they can walk under it or not. If they really want to they can get over it. I do have to admit. I don’t own any chickens. My neighbors do, though and their chickens have escaped their backyard and wandered all around my driveway before
I’m actually deeply in love with this build, and cannot wait to play this lot, when the game comes out! You truly have a talent for making houses look realistic and playable. Love it!
This reminds me so much of the house you built for the Seasons LP, before the mansion house. It feels cosy and nice and just... yeah. As soon as the pack comes out, I'm going to be building the house that used to be across the road from my childhood home, a sprawling farmhouse split into three distinct homes. So excited for it!
I can't think of a build better then this. The multi level gives it a modern vibe and it feels like a million dollar house. But then the interior feels so warm and cozy. Good job on that! though the terrain paint might be a little much but the overall look fits perfectly with the world. I would definitely love to spend my holiday there. Also just heard that this was your first build. You've set the bar pretty high!!
Such a beautiful build - I love that I could barely contain my inspiration popping up during the video. I think you've really outdone yourself. It's baffling how much thought you put into it. The details 😍
It's awesome! I wish I lived there. I love your builds. They have just enough clutter to make them look good without the over cluttered that some builders use. Thanks for being so amazing James!
The plots totally reminded me of terraced vineyards in Europe! Wonderfully cozy cowshed turned home❤️Love the window for the tub-what a relaxing soak with the fields to look at! That kitchen&hallway view turned out amazing! At the animal sanctuary here they have a double gate for the goats so not only does it look cool, it is accurate 😀
To place roofing on top of a platform, have you ever tried making a roof just to the side, and then dragging it over? That trick works for half walls I remember. I love this idea you tried out. I haven't heard of anyone converting a cow shed, irl, before so this is a neat idea.
Lol, window with a view for the bathroom. The same can't really be said for rural America tho. Drones are starting to be used more now for rural areas, sooo yea, that's one reason. 😳
This looks sooo amazing! And the cool thing about these early access bulids is that even if you'd only own the base game and this expansion pack you'd be able to get this house out of the galery looking exactly like this!
Nice! Certainly reminds me of living in the country....another excellent build! 👌 I've been practicing on my trying out landscaping in preparation of the pond tool. I cannot wait to see the awesome hidden or under-ground/water homes. Simmers are truly creative it's very inspirational.
The little walk in wardrobe looks like they're hanging their clothes up in the airing cupboard so you've accidentally stumbled onto peak British culture. 😂
suddenly considering to buy the pack just to download this build...it looks so good and cozy!!!!😭😭😭😭 hopefully chaz will ended up living here with his family 😆
@@felbarashla yeah i remember he did mention it.. but i was hoping he'll buy the barn as retail lot and have this house for a living, but whatever it will be i'm looking forward for more episodes 😆
Amazing job on this house, I love it. The yard is also beautiful with the pond, my type of build here. This is Beautiful and well thought out, James. Thanks 😊
Oh god. Poor Chaz. This was the first place you moved him into, built this awesome house and then were like lol nah and made him struggle in an alley. 🥲😂
This looks wonderful James, I'm definitely gonna download this! I appreciate all the detailing, the pergola thing for the cars is super nice with the wisteria on it!
Adore ALL of the Cottage Living builds so far! I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited about an expansion pack for Sims 4 as this one! Hey @JamesTurnerYT , could you please incorporate some ruins into a Country Living build? Maybe do a postage stamp church with a little cemetery beside it? Deli started doing something like a graveyard 🪦 in hers, and where I grew up (DEEP country!) the little churches with the cemeteries are a VERY common sight! They’ve always intrigued me because I want to know the history! If I can’t find it out, I make up my own stories about it! 😂
I truly admire this build, it's amazing and unique and this build also gives me a lot of ideas, I'm so inspired and just to say, you're an artist with your builds .🌷😁
Absolutely gorgeous!!! James did a fantastic job with this house it looks super realistic I’m excited to download it and use it!! Also I LOVE Grand Designs as well ❤️
I always put my bath tub in builds in front of windows especially in Sulani :) My dream to sit in the bath looking over the peak district in england :D
I would love to see you build a house in the more hilly neighbourhood of this EP that uses terrain tools to have a house hugging the hillside (kinda like you did here), but as a double storey house with "flipped living" - kitchen/dinner and living room upstairs and bedrooms below. That could make for some stunning views with the world they created, bit those houses usually don't make much sense in TS4 since the surrounding is usually so flat.
Can't wait until it goes live! I could use that lot for this one sims's family since they live in Kentucky in like the late 1800's. Granted, it's not period-accurate, but oh well! Still looks nice all the same
Whoever got to build the started home, would know that it would be the one most played. I think Clair was supposed to build the starter home but she was having a hard time with it. Between Clair and Alex so far, I know they didn't make a started home, idk who ended up getting it. But I think Harrie came to the rescue for that one. I'm still checking all the content between the creators of some of the game changers lots. It's fun unfolding the story. I am very entertained watching your content. It's a nice game. I think this pack would be suited well for slower game play.
Honestly once Cottage living comes out, I can see it going well with several packs. Get Together, Tiny Living, Eco-lifestyle, Get to Work, Realm of Magic, Romantic Garden, Seasons…you see where I’m getting at? Also I think you should create the Bigwallet challenge, something similar to the Not so Berry challenge made by Kayla (Lilsimse)

Same I almost bought a bundle today
@@Wurmze I did buy a bundle this morning 😂

Probably the won’t until he can get the pack in his regular game, so he can use tiny living with it
@@EyeconicLaura Undoubtedly, but wanted to leave the suggestion for future reference.

I decided I would try build today. After hours of it, my Sims went into the house, and they got the "poorly decorated" moodlet.
Thanks.

This is one of the best things you've ever built, hands down. The way you manage to use platforms and terrain tools is amazing, I'm so jealous.
I’m actually deeply in love with this build, and cannot wait to play this lot, when the game comes out! You truly have a talent for making houses look realistic and playable. Love it!
This build is UNREAL, James!! You're always upping your game, and this is just... amazing! Well done!!
We need some more trash bins... a lot of them just don’t fit the vibes of certain builds.

this really is a work of art! as someone who used to live in a house that was previous a large barn you really nailed the aesthetic and vibe!
This has to be one of the best builds I've ever seen in The Sims! 😍😍😍I love all of the extra effort you put in for the "small" details.
This looks sooo amazing! And the cool thing about these early access bulids is that even if you'd only own the base game and this expansion pack you'd be able to get this house out of the galery looking exactly like this!
Perfect house for Hazel to renovate when she and Chaz live in 😏😉
You absolutely nailed this mate! I never really download builds in game but I need this one!!!
13:33 that garden really reminded me of Corvo Bianco in Witcher 3 damn.
Miss that place
I would happily live in this house
YES! I love this build! I love Grand Designs, my mum once saw Kevin McCloud in a Cafe when he was filming a build near where we used to live!
Nice!
Certainly reminds me of living in the country....another excellent build! 👌
I've been practicing on my trying out landscaping in preparation of the pond tool. I cannot wait to see the awesome hidden or under-ground/water homes.
Simmers are truly creative it's very inspirational.
The little walk in wardrobe looks like they're hanging their clothes up in the airing cupboard so you've accidentally stumbled onto peak British culture. 😂
suddenly considering to buy the pack just to download this build...it looks so good and cozy!!!!😭😭😭😭 hopefully chaz will ended up living here with his family 😆
I believe Chaz is supposed to buy the barn conversion home and build it up as he gets funds.
@@felbarashla yeah i remember he did mention it.. but i was hoping he'll buy the barn as retail lot and have this house for a living, but whatever it will be i'm looking forward for more episodes 😆
One of my favourite builds to date! Love all the driveway details and that almost-sloping garden patch.
Amazing job on this house, I love it. The yard is also beautiful with the pond, my type of build here. This is Beautiful and well thought out, James. Thanks 😊
As someone who lives in the English countryside, I have definitely seen houses like this!! Great job James!
I am so so so impressed by the terrain manipulation and paint in this build! it looks so realistic and I love it!
Oh god. Poor Chaz. This was the first place you moved him into, built this awesome house and then were like lol nah and made him struggle in an alley. 🥲😂
This looks wonderful James, I'm definitely gonna download this! I appreciate all the detailing, the pergola thing for the cars is super nice with the wisteria on it!
Adore ALL of the Cottage Living builds so far! I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited about an expansion pack for Sims 4 as this one! Hey @JamesTurnerYT , could you please incorporate some ruins into a Country Living build? Maybe do a postage stamp church with a little cemetery beside it? Deli started doing something like a graveyard 🪦 in hers, and where I grew up (DEEP country!) the little churches with the cemeteries are a VERY common sight! They’ve always intrigued me because I want to know the history! If I can’t find it out, I make up my own stories about it! 😂
Honestly, I think this is my favorite house he’s EVER made. It’s beautiful!!
I love the house so much.. I will take it. Like this would be my forever home
I truly admire this build, it's amazing and unique and this build also gives me a lot of ideas, I'm so inspired and just to say, you're an artist with your builds .🌷😁
Sad that there isn’t the let’s play tonight but I’ve been dying to see the barn build so I’m very pumped for the vid
Lovely!! The layout is so nice! And yes I want to take a bath in that tub lol
I'm getting major vibes of a house I saw in grand designs Australia, with the 3 separate levels. Love it!!!
I have watched a lot of cottage living builds ….. this is beyond beautiful and amazing! Best I have seen
Your usual creative effort, quite unlike any others! Love the vibe. You are brilliant, mate!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! James did a fantastic job with this house it looks super realistic I’m excited to download it and use it!! Also I LOVE Grand Designs as well ❤️
I always put my bath tub in builds in front of windows especially in Sulani :) My dream to sit in the bath looking over the peak district in england :D
Hearing James watch Clare made me smile!!
I would love to see you build a house in the more hilly neighbourhood of this EP that uses terrain tools to have a house hugging the hillside (kinda like you did here), but as a double storey house with "flipped living" - kitchen/dinner and living room upstairs and bedrooms below. That could make for some stunning views with the world they created, bit those houses usually don't make much sense in TS4 since the surrounding is usually so flat.
Can't wait until it goes live! I could use that lot for this one sims's family since they live in Kentucky in like the late 1800's. Granted, it's not period-accurate, but oh well! Still looks nice all the same
I love how this looks lived in yet still gives out that renovated feel you were going for, so nice!
Dude this is SO FREAKING AMAZING! I am completely amazed by how amazing you builds are, this is incredible
Whoever got to build the started home, would know that it would be the one most played.
I think Clair was supposed to build the starter home but she was having a hard time with it.
Between Clair and Alex so far, I know they didn't make a started home, idk who ended up getting it. But I think Harrie came to the rescue for that one.
I'm still checking all the content between the creators of some of the game changers lots.
It's fun unfolding the story.
I am very entertained watching your content. It's a nice game.
I think this pack would be suited well for slower game play.
This is so beautiful! I can’t wait for this pack
Honestly once Cottage living comes out, I can see it going well with several packs. Get Together, Tiny Living, Eco-lifestyle, Get to Work, Realm of Magic, Romantic Garden, Seasons…you see where I’m getting at? Also I think you should create the Bigwallet challenge, something similar to the Not so Berry challenge made by Kayla (Lilsimse)
