The new expansion pack of The Sims 4 Country Life, takes the Simmers to a new location, Northern Aveland. Here, new residents will find resources, such as canning, picnics, agriculture, taking care of chickens, various tasks to be performed, in other words, there is a lot to do!

This expansion is a revitalization of the series that have been growing more and more, especially with the funny The Sims 4 Supernatural Object Collection and The Sims 4 Dream Decoration. Complements are more than welcome to the series that is one of the biggest hits in the gamer universe.

In Country Life, creativity is unleashed so that Simmers can revel in the charm of the countryside and enjoy life in this picturesque village, where they can grow and harvest produce, raise and befriend animals and connect with nature. Want more? Yes!

the new adventure

This is a game totally focused on romanticism, that is, for those who really like the country life, with its simplest and most difficult way of life. And speaking of difficulties, it's interesting to open the fridge or have to cook food and… have nothing there!

Now players will basically have to reap what they want. Unlike the previous ones, where Simmer already has some money and can just start cooking, things aren't that easy here. The player will have to earn money to be able to do this.

Want an egg and bread? Take good care of your chickens for this! Need to read a book to earn your points of development in logic? Yeah, no money this time! This version, even more if you are a salaried, will make you sweat and think a little more about how to “survive” in this country life!

All this, because the main focus of the game is agriculture and this is something totally new! It's really a return to the roots, as if the player really needed to start from scratch their character, their history and others, for having absolutely nothing! To make it more difficult, all that was missing was not having a house.

Oh yes, there is only one, so good luck taking care of her, until I get more money and be able to go to a bigger one and even the community of Nova Velha Alvelândia!

Gameplay

The gameplay of this new expansion is interesting, as it now resembles some other country life titles. In The Sims 4 Country Life players will have to take care of typical farm animals such as cows and chickens. The most interesting thing is that not everything is that simple

Chickens, some, tend to be pretty mean and end up hurting your Sim and even some unwanted visitors. Well, the unwanted ones are no problem. There are also some wild animals like foxes, rabbits and birds that can become your friends in the best Snow White style.

By the way, you can name your animals, which is something very cool, especially for those who do not have the Pets version of the game.

When you take care of your animals, you will practically create relationships with them through different social interactions! You can feed them various types of food that you can make or buy. The funniest thing is to give something like a golden ration and your chicken turns golden! How about a vegetarian ration for your cow to produce plant-based milk?

Challenges

It's not all just wonders and dreams in country life. There are two challenges in The Sims 4 Country Life: Simple Living (Simple Living) and Wild Fox (Wild Foxes.

At the Simple Life challenge Simmer will venture out into the world to grow new vegetables such as pumpkins, or shop and hunt for food – as you are restricted to only being able to cook recipes for which you have the ingredients in your stock.

already in the wild fox, Simmer will need to micromanage and figure out the best way to keep them at bay. If you have room for an extra stable or two, a Llama is an impediment to help you through a nice spit!

Another interesting aspect of the game is to have a certain realism with some problems some people have: lactose intolerance. This is an interesting feature that has been added to the game and is even comical. In addition to this there are also two others who are Animal Enthusiast and Field Caregiver.

They are very interesting, but they deserve a space of their own in another article!

Worth it?

Thinking about all the content available and still being able to dress your kitty and put a cap on her and a scarf on her Llama, of course I do! The new amount of items is satisfying and the gameplay style even more so.

After living in cities and almost making it to the countryside in Sustainable Living, fans can finally have a challenge to put all sustainability thinking into practice.

Besides that, The Sims 4 Country Life is one of the best tools to spend a few hours and be able to disconnect – practically – from the hectic life of cities, mainly because you don't play in one!
