The Cottagecore Collection: Sims 4 CC for a Slow Country Life
Good Sims 4 cottagecore CC makes a save feel like a slow Sunday: flour on the counter, bread in the basket and a pinafore drying on the line. Cottage Living gave us the chickens and the village, and creators have filled in everything else. We kept the 40 pieces we'd use to build that life from scratch: floaty dresses and linen shirts, braids and straw hats, painted furniture, four cottage kitchens, decor for the dresser, a garden full of planters and fences, two ready-made cottages and a few mods that slow the days down. Many of the CAS picks are base game compatible, and every pick tells you what it needs. Building something older and grander? Our Royal Collection has the castle side of country life.
Mods Folder Approved. Every pick here has earned its place. Each one is well made, popular with simmers and from a creator who's been active this year; every download is free, every link was checked on 6 November 2026 and every required pack is listed up front.
Cottagecore dresses
Countryside Charm Cottage Pinafore Dress
By Daph's · No packs listed · Alpha · New mesh · Teen to elder · 8 swatches · All LODs · The Sims Resource
A fitted pinafore mini with fine floral embroidery, and the dress we'd put on the cover of this list. The creator styles it over a turtleneck for autumn or with cowboy boots for a country look. It only came out at the end of September, so there are no comments yet.
Tiered Ruffle Mini Dress (Picnic Blossom)
By Layla · Base game compatible · New mesh · Teen to elder · 8 swatches · All LODs · The Sims Resource
Soft tiers of ruffles made for a blanket in the meadow. It's part of the creator's Picnic Blossom set, so the rest of the outfit is easy to match. It sits on the short side, which suits a spring picnic better than a prairie walk.
Seraphine Bloom Dress
By DAPHS · No packs listed · Alpha · New mesh · Teen to elder · 6 colours · All LODs · CurseForge
Floral jacquard, puff sleeves and pastel tones: this is the fairytale end of cottagecore. The fabric texture holds up well in close-ups. There are only six colours, so it's a dress you choose for its look rather than its range.
GoldFish Vintage Pinafore
By GoldFishSims · Base game compatible · Alpha · New mesh · Teen to elder · 8 colours · CurseForge
A light vintage pinafore with button details that works for errands in town as well as a day in the garden. It's one of the most downloaded pieces in this Collection, and the creator refreshed it in September. Layer a blouse underneath for cooler days.
Cecilia Dress
By Lumysims · No packs listed · 75 swatches · HQ compatible · CurseForge
The creator sums it up in two words, "cottagecore style", and 75 swatches back that up with every gingham and calico you could want. It's an older design that was refreshed in July. The page doesn't list ages, so check it in CAS before you plan a whole family around it.
Calico Prairie Dress
By Naunakht · Recolour of a Life & Death (EP) dress, so you'll need that pack · 30 swatches · The Sims Resource
The one recolour here, and it earns its spot. Thirty calico, check and stripe swatches turn an EA dress into something a homesteader would wear, and some are faded on purpose so they look lived in. Because it's a recolour, it only works if you own Life & Death.
Medieval Dress
By Naunakht · Base game compatible · New mesh · Teen to elder · 45 swatches · Mod The Sims
For a storybook cottage rather than a modern one. The 45 swatches run from plain village wool to richer fabrics, so the same dress works for the baker's daughter and the lady of the manor. The creator updated it in May.
Vainajala Dress
By kuolemankukka · Base game compatible · Maxis Match · Creator's own mesh · 40 swatches · Tumblr (download on SimFileShare)
A long, flowing dress for the cottage witch who grows her own herbs. Many of the 40 swatches match the creator's earlier necklace, so the look comes together quickly. The file is about 10 MB.
Cottagecore clothes
Woodland Muse set
By Madlen · No packs listed · Young adult to elder · 2 items · The Sims Resource
An outfit and a separate sweater with the soft, layered feel of a walk through the woods. The sweater is its own piece, so you can wear it over your other cottage finds. The page doesn't give a swatch count, so expect to check the colours in CAS.
Floral Whisper Blouse
By MysteriousOo · No packs listed · Everyday top · The Sims Resource
A delicate floral blouse that does the quiet work in a cottagecore wardrobe. Tuck it into a long skirt or wear it under one of the pinafores above. The creator's page is short on details, so swatches and ages are a surprise.
Evelyn Corset Top
By Guemara · Base game compatible · Young adult and adult · 20 swatches · CurseForge
A fitted corset top with a sweetheart neckline in earthy tones, muted florals and vintage prints. The creator suggests long skirts or denim, and it does both well. Teens and elders aren't listed.
AM Shirt N1 7
By David_Mtv · No packs listed · New mesh · Teen to elder · 10 swatches · HQ compatible · The Sims Resource
A relaxed flannel shirt for the Sim who splits the firewood. Cottagecore lists tend to forget the men, and this is the easiest fix. It's new, so there are no comments yet.
Cottagecore Date Night outfit
By JayBirdTheNerd · Base game compatible · Full outfit · Teen to elder · 23 swatches · CurseForge
A simple, sweet outfit for a country date, with 23 colours to match whatever she's wearing. It was last updated in December 2024, but a full-body outfit like this rarely breaks after a patch. The creator is still releasing new CC.
Peasant Tunic
By Naunakht · Base game compatible · New mesh · Teen to elder · 25 swatches · Mod The Sims
A plain tunic with leggings for farmhands and village men. It's filed under Costumes in CAS, so look there rather than in Everyday. It pairs with the Medieval Dress above for a fully storybook household.
18th-Century Shirt and Nightshirt
By notsooldmadcatlady · No packs listed · Top and full-body versions · Tumblr (download on SimFileShare)
An untucked linen shirt and a long nightshirt, the sort a farmer wears at dawn and to bed. It comes as a top and as full-body outfits. The creator notes that the legs can clip through the hem in some animations.
Hair, hats and flower crowns
Aurum Dorothy Double Braids
By AuSims · Base game compatible · Maxis Match · 24 EA swatches · All LODs · Hat compatible · CurseForge
Two neat braids, the hairstyle cottagecore was built on. It works with hats, so a straw hat sits right on top. It's on the heavy side for a Maxis Match hair, and the creator updated it this week.
Anastasia Hair (Tea Time)
By LewbertSn00ties · Base game compatible · Maxis Match · Teen to elder · EA swatches plus 6 custom · Hat compatible · The Sims Resource
Long waves with a braided crown, made for afternoon tea in the garden. It's low-poly, so it's kind to older computers. This is the one we'd give the eldest daughter in a farmhouse legacy.
TSM Straw Hat
By Simverses · No packs listed · Toddler to adult · 2 versions · CurseForge
A wide straw hat for long days in the field, with or without a cloth underneath. It's converted from The Sims Medieval rather than a new mesh. No elder version is listed.
TSM Jungfernkranz flower wreath
By Simverses · Base game compatible · Infant to elder · CurseForge
A maiden's flower wreath with hair attached, for every age from infant to elder. Because it's a hat-hair, you change the colour in the hair section of CAS. A version without hair is on the page too.
Cottagecore furniture
Shabby Rhapsody
By Syboulette · No packs listed · Maxis Match · 27 items · CurseForge
A flea-market bedroom of worn paint, aged wood and chipped details, with a bed, dresser, desks, mirrors and panelling. It leans shabby chic, but it fits a cottage bedroom perfectly. The game version on the page is a few patches old.
Whimsy Thrifts
By SixamCC with Gryphi · No packs listed · About 21 items · Creator's own site (download on CurseForge)
Grandma's house in one download: a bentwood chair, a flower lamp, duck bookends, a keyhole shelf and a rug the creators call "Grandma's Favorite". The goose doubles as a cookie jar if you have the creator's cookie jar mod. Use the free download on the post, since newer packs go to Patreon first.
Cottagecore Infant Furniture
By simmerkate · Base game compatible · Alpha · 6 items · CurseForge
A crib, a rocking chair, two bouncers, a teddy and an ivy arch for a nursery that matches the rest of the cottage. The swatches go well beyond leaf prints. The creator warns about 4K textures, so expect it to be heavier than most.
Cottage kitchens
Cottagecore Kitchen
By Severinka · Base game compatible · New meshes · 10 items, plus two optional decor parts · The Sims Resource
Counters, cabinets, a fridge, two sinks, a stove and a dining set with patterned or plain cabinet fronts. The matching decor parts add a kettle, jars and a wall garlic basket. The main file is 17 MB, and comments so far are all praise.
Cottage Diaries Part II: Kitchen
By heybrine · Base game compatible · Maxis Match · 38 items · Updated for 1.129 · CurseForge
Modular counters, half-tile pieces and a fridge with working doors, inspired by a much-loved cottage build. The creator re-released the whole series on 28 October for the new patch. Hold Ctrl and F5 to place the half-tile pieces.
Hinterlands Kitchen
By Peacemaker_ic · Base game compatible · Maxis Match · 32 items · Creator's own blog
A country kitchen made to suit Henford-on-Bagley, with a plaster range hood, stacking plates and a working cookbook. The creator still answers questions in the comments, most recently this week. Some cabinet pieces only appear once you switch off auto counters in the swatch menu.
Country Kitchen
By Syboulette · No packs listed · 28 items · 11 swatches · Creator's own site
Copper pans, glass jars, oven mitts and a vegetable crate built into the counter. The wood and pastel swatches make it easy to go farmhouse or soft and painted. It's from 2023, but the creator still posts new sets every month.
Decor and wallpaper
RUSTYC Part One
By HeyHarrie with Felixandre · Base game compatible except the plant ladder (Eco Lifestyle EP) · About 29 items · CurseForge
A Welsh dresser with sculpted wear in the wood, plus the baking trays, pudding bowls, scales and mugs to fill it. It's the clutter set we'd reach for first in any cottage kitchen. It was last updated in April 2025.
Afternoon Tea Set
By RubyRed1023 · No packs listed · 21 items · CurseForge
A working teapot, a cake stand, macarons, a daisy vase and a dressed-up chair for afternoon tea in the garden. The functional teapot and coffee maker make it more than decor. The creator's description is short, so look over the previews.
Vintage Love Wallpaper: Soft Cottage
By Atino00 · Base game compatible · 20 swatches · CurseForge
Floral and lace-inspired wallpaper in soft pink, cream, blue and beige. One wallpaper with 20 swatches covers a whole cottage. The creator is newer than most here but uploads every week.
Garden and outdoor
Sunwoven Garden
By valiasims · Base game compatible except the flower arranging setup (Seasons EP) · Maxis Match · New meshes · 12 objects · CurseForge
A potting table, an outdoor sink, potted geraniums and a log fence, all in low-poly Maxis Match. The flower arranging setup is the star of the set. If you move the table after a bouquet is placed, the bouquet won't snap back.
Verbena Backyard
By SIMcredible · Swing needs Island Living (EP), storage basket needs Cottage Living (EP), hot tub needs the free 20th anniversary update · 18 objects · CurseForge
Picnic tables, a tablecloth, a grill, a swing and climbing flowers for a spring garden. Everything is low-poly. The hot tub is the one piece that isn't very cottage, and you can simply skip it.
Garden Edging (walk-through)
By Sandy · No packs listed · 30 new meshes in straight, arc and diagonal shapes · Creator's own site
Log, wattle, stake and plank borders for flower beds that Sims can walk through. The curved and diagonal shapes make round beds easy at last. The free files come as separate downloads, and a version that blocks the path is on the site too.
Medieval Garden
By Syboulette · Base game compatible · Maxis Match · 16 items · Creator's own site
A working planter box, a wheelbarrow, a scythe, woven willow and three new trees. It's the newest set here, out in September. Add the coop below and the garden is done.
A la ferme: Cottage Coop
By Syboulette · Functional coop needs Cottage Living (EP); the decor version and other items need no packs · Wishing wells work only with Ravasheen's well mod · Creator's own site
A remeshed chicken coop, egg boxes, grain sacks, bells, a cart and two stone wells. Choose the functional coop if you keep hens, or the decor one if you just want the look. It's an older set, and the coop is fairly high-poly.
Cottage lots
A ready-made cottage saves you an evening in Build mode. Both of these are built without CC but use a lot of packs, so check the list first. Place them with bb.moveobjects on.
Hazelbrook Cottage
By RayDesign9 · No CC · 20x30, 2 bed, 2 bath · Needs Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats & Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Island Living, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape, Cottage Living, High School Years, Growing Together, Horse Ranch, For Rent, Lovestruck, Businesses & Hobbies, Adventure Awaits and Royalty & Legacy (EP); Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Dine Out, Jungle Adventure, StrangerVille, Dream Home Decorator, My Wedding Stories and Werewolves (GP); Perfect Patio, Romantic Garden, Backyard, Bowling Night, Fitness, Laundry Day, My First Pet, Moschino, Tiny Living and Home Chef Hustle (SP); 15 Kits and 3 Creator Kits listed on the page · The Sims Resource
A furnished two-storey cottage for Henford-on-Bagley with garden boxes out front and a chicken coop. It's the full fantasy, but it needs almost every pack. Recolouring isn't allowed.
Brindlewood Cottage
By tylersada · No CC · 15x20, 1 bed · Needs Get Together, Seasons, Cottage Living, Horse Ranch, For Rent, Lovestruck and Businesses & Hobbies (EP); Laundry Day (SP) · Mod The Sims
A small country home with a one-bedroom flat above a two-car garage. It's a good starter for a young couple or a retired pair. It's more country than storybook.
Cottagecore mods
None of these had been confirmed for patch 1.129 when we checked, so look at each creator's page before you update. Our Gameplay Mods Collection has more.
Free-Range
By lot51 · Needs Cottage Living (EP) · Needs Lot 51 Core Library · Script mod · CurseForge
Cows and llamas leave their sheds and roam like the chickens do, grazing by day and gathering at night. You'll be raking cow pies, and wild mushrooms turn up in the rain. Letting an animal roam can't be undone.
Functional Bread Basket
By Naunakht · Needs Get to Work (EP) · Optional add-ons for Cottage Living, Get Together, Horse Ranch and Adventure Awaits · Mod The Sims
A basket that serves bread like a cooler serves drinks, with challah, gluten-free bread and more. Hungry guests help themselves. There's a short pause before the bread appears in a Sim's hand.
Faster Gardening
By Scumbumbo , kept up by LittleMsSam · No packs listed · Needs XML Injector · CurseForge
Weeding and watering take about a third of the time, so a big garden stops eating the whole day. Planting and harvesting stay the same. It edits 25 tuning files, so it can clash with other gardening mods.
Ask to Cook, Bake, Grill or Mix a Drink
By LittleMsSam · No packs listed · Needs XML Injector · CurseForge
Ask anyone on the lot, from Grandma to the butler, to cook a meal, bake cupcakes or mix a drink. Cupcakes use the Baking skill instead of cooking. It replaces the default cupcake recipes.
That's the Cottagecore Collection. Pop the kettle on and we'll add more as creators share them. New to CC? Our guide to installing Sims 4 CC walks you through it, and the mods above need Script Mods Allowed switched on in Game Options.
