Yes, finally! The functional cow is here! Even though we still have quite a lot planned (I do mean a lot!), we thought it best to release now for several reasons, one being that we definitely don't want to keep you guys waiting anymore!
The cow has the following features:
- Autonomy: will sleep, eat (on grass/leaves or with haybale)*, and animate by itself
- Purchase dairy cow interaction (7 swatches available)
- Rename Cow (with several name suggestions)
- Feed hay to collect plain milk, or wait for plain milk to passively fill over a day
- Feed different harvestable seeds for other milk types (some require Icemunmun's harvestables)
- You can easily gather seeds for feeding by opening the "Treat Bag for Cow"
- Collect milk, milk varies depending on what you fed the cow
- Sell milk cannister or open the cannister to sell milks individually
- Drink milk, which gives you different special moodlets
- Talk to the cow and build/destroy your friendships
- Pet the cow, hidden interaction which unlocks when friendship is higher than 30
- Tell secret, hidden interaction which unlocks when friendship is higher than 50
- Hidden meat collection (must be enabled through shift-click) that allows you to send your cow away and collect its meat. High friendships will give a temporary sad buff.
- Use meat and milk in SCCO and other compatible recipes
Information on objects that can be found in build/buy mode:
- "Treat Bag for Cow" which allows you to collect 18 treats upon opening. There are 15 types of seeds in total for 15 different types of milk. If you download the add-on files under this post you will unlock 12 of them, the other 3 (coconut, plasma fruit, soya bean) are seeds from expansion packs (Island Living, Vampires, Eco Lifestyle), you must own the expansion pack for them to appear. These seeds can also be planted in your garden which allows you to harvest after the plant matures.
- "Hay" which you can buy and feed your cow with to get plain milk. It is recommended to use the hay bale/hay piles instead.
- "Hay Bale" and "Hay Pile" both allow you to collect hay. *If your cow is placed on grass and is checked by a sim (hidden un-animated interaction), it will automatically eat when it is hungry and will not die from starvation. If your cow is not placed on grass you need to feed it manually, OR place "Hay Bale" or "Hay pile" within 9 tiles of the cow and click "Enable Auto-Eating", then your cow will automatically eat as if they are on grass.
- "Milk Canister" and "Milk Bottle" allows you to have a quick drink of milk (open canister first).
Additional information:
- All interactions are available for child-elder sims.
- Cows can be fed every 4 hours and you can collect milk immediately after feeding, your sim will likely autonomously do so.
- If your cow's hunger or milk is full, you will not be able to feed it. Hover your mouse over the cow to check its stats.
- If your sim has friendship with a cow, and the cow is hungry and not placed on grass, your sim will autonomously feed it with any seed or hay they have in their inventory.
- There are various moodlets from interacting with the included objects and the cow, try to discover them all!
- The cow will die of old age eventually, but you will get a notification once your cow is close to the end of its days.
- Potential Bug (that only Panda is experiencing ATM): The energy of the cow turns into "None" and it wont go to sleep. If this happens just shift-click on the cow to "Refill Energy" and it should now be fixed.
- This mod includes 2 parts, the main mod and the add-ons, all of which can be downloaded in the attachments. The main download includes the cow, plain milk, hay objects, and treat bag; the add-on downloads include all the seeds (except for the ones from expansion packs) and their related milks. The seed file are files that Icemunmun has already released throughout the years, so if you have downloaded all her harvestables previously you will not need the "Icemunmun_Harvestables.zip" add on pack, only the Milk_Bottle add-on. If you don't have her harvestable files, just download both add-ons and install as usual.
