While Cottage living will appeal to players who seek a more private farming experience. The Farmland mod will appeal to players who want a more open-world experience. When it comes to getting the most authentic farming experience, it depends solely on the type of farm players want to have. Cottage Living will cost players $40, while the Farmland Mod is free though players can support Arnie's work and find the download for the mod through Patreon. The main difference between Cottage Living and the Farmland mod is price.
