It gets fun when we give the animals one of thirteen animal treats to eat. With the six new animal species alone, the Sims have their hands full: cows, llamas and chickens need stalls and give milk, wool and eggs once a day. This means there are not only several new mechanics, but plenty of decorations and abilities around the farm motif. Let’s look at the overall package first: As an expansion pack for 40 euros, Country House Life is a big add-on.
The rural region of Bagford-on-Henley takes us to an idyll with tranquil village life and lots of nature, with a building style modelled on the farming areas in the south of England. There are colourful animals, a bit of magic, likeable villagers with backstories and saccharine animations for the interaction between Sims and animals. Through the Sims lens, as always, everything gets a little wackier. You can also get a taste of the countryside in Farming Simulator, but there are certainly no hens with demon powers or golden eggs. In our test we find out how exciting animal breeding and everyday life in the village really are.Ĭountry Life fulfils a big wish of the Sims community: For years, gamers have wanted the complete farm experience for their Sims with manure shoveling, milking and sexy hours in the barn. The new expansion pack Country Life for Sims 4 takes the Sims to the farm.
