A Designer's Take On Sims 3 Country Living


Check out what Designer Alan Copeland has to say about how (and why) he designed the all-new premium content set:  Country Livin’. Don’t forget to pick up the Country Livin’ Set from The Sims 3 Store on April 4, 2013.

While I enjoy designing all of the different premium content for The Sims 3 Store, I have a special place in my heart for any object that we can add some of that classic Sims humor into. This is just one of the reasons I’m particularly excited about our latest set, Country Livin’, which includes the Fowl and Feathers Chicken Coop! 

Finally eggs don’t just grow on plants anymore.  Not only can you get basic eggs every morning, but you can also collect rare exotic eggs that give your Sim a boost to fun and the new Egg-static moodlet! Want more opportunities to collect eggs? Just remember to feed your chickens and you’ll also get an additional egg harvest in the evening. 



Something you might not know about Sims chickens is that they are great conversationalists. If it’s getting a little lonely down on the farm, go talk to your chicken about important things like why they cross the road. If you’re lucky, your Sim might get some Universal Enlightenment (new moodlet!). 

But if you’re not so lucky, you may run into Charles the Evil Chicken. Charles is kinda a jerk. He’ll sometimes come out to argue with your Sim or fling an insult or two about your Sim’s lineage. Keep arguing and your Sim might have to teach him a thing or two about who rules the roost in a chicken fight. 



If matching wits with the Evil Chicken scares your Sim away from collecting eggs for a couple of days, the eggs might just hatch into baby chicks! Your Sim can get plenty of fun and social from playing with these cute and cuddly little guys, not to mention the new Chick Magnet moodlet. 

However, there is so much more to this set than just the Fowl and Feathers Chicken Coop. There are some great new décor objects that can make any home have that extra touch of country. 



And let’s not forget about the new outfits! This set has some awesome new clothing for toddlers, children, young adults, adults and ELDERS! How charming are these folks?





Hope you like what you see in the new Country Livin’ Set. Make sure to pick up on The Sims 3 Store when it comes out on April 4, 2013.

I was about to post this when I saw you already had.  I edited the post to include the blog link and pictures. 

I'm not sure how I feel about getting chickens.  Although, I can imagine Charles the Evil Chicken & Artie having an interesting conversation.

Thanks -- I didn't know how to copy in the pictures. I can just imagine Artie with the Evil chicken; probably better to keep them apart.

I'll be interested to see what's included with the full set and hope it's not too many sim points.

I don't know why but it sort of appeals to me. I usually have a gardener and the bee hive, anything produce related. I think it could've been better with a new produce in the game though - say a goat and from it you could have goats milk, different cheeses, milkshakes... Etc. going off on a tangent slightly!

I mean we already have eggs in the game *pouts slightly*

I'm not big on the set, but I want the coop. I'm gonna hold off until I can buy it separately.

I like most of the clothes, too - especially since some of them are in that amazingly small category, "Things that look good on elders".  Wishlisted!

I agree. I'm disappointed by the selection in a set that will normally cost 1500 SimPoints. I only really want one of the outfits (the little boys' one with suspenders) and some of the decor. My husband will make faces if I spend any more money on the Sims right now, so no chicken coop for me yet.

I too really want a nice sustainable farm with a full garden and orchard, bees, and a chicken coop would complete it perfectly! Then I could really have my dream home!
