That’s an expensive renovation waiting to happen

The Sims 4’s latest expansion Cottage Living has just recently launched, bringing with it a free base game update. In among all the new additions is the Pond Tool, which some folks are using to buildlovely water featuresoutside their idyllic countryside homes. Others are making monstrous, flooded disaster lots. Which is a thing that the pond tool does apparently let you do.

This is all part of the new water tool in The Sims 4’s Build Mode. Now whenever you lower parts of a lot with the Terrain Tool you can also use the Water Tool to fill them up. There are other related base game additions as well, such as pond effects like ducks, the ability for Sims to play in the water, and new pond object decor items as well.

You can also spot the non-pond base game additions in theSims 4 patch notes. The calendar function, previously part of the Seasons expansion, is now accessible in the base game for spotting birthdays and the like. A new food delivery service called Zoomers allows your Sims to call in for meals instead of cooking.
