But I would think swimwear would be different, particularly since being able to swim in the Bagley River is one of the few things your Sims can regularly do in Henford-on-Bagley. Moving on to house design, I am glad to report that there are no obvious pitfalls. I like to start from scratch and use the model rooms, modifying the sizes and contents of each room as I go. That meant I could either bulldoze an existing home or take the empty lot in Old New Henford. I took the latter and had a remarkably fun time with the new options. There’s a tonne of nice farm-esque objects and furniture, as well as some truly wacky stuff, like mushroom seats and whole tavern bars to place in your house.

Additionally, some very nice gardens and garden decor. I’m a bit sad that the barn options are only large enough to fit one cow or llama, but they are small enough that having a couple isn’t going to wreck your design sensibilities. Plus, the sample rooms do a great job of showcasing all of the new stuff, though they can get a bit cramped for my personal style. Still, I am grateful for that extra mile, as I am far too much of a perfectionist to design a house from the ground up and expect it to take less than a couple of days. I should also mention that the item descriptions retain the same humour that’s been in The Sims for a while, alluding to absurd situations and bringing up timely humorous references. I got a particular chuckle out of the Unassuming Bucket and its reference to the popular “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher” song from the semi-recent Netflix series, The Witcher.
