Ah, the Sims 4 Cow Plant. A creature of legend, a bringer of both terror and amusement, and a surprisingly convenient way to off your least favorite Sim. This guide will cover everything you need to know about this carnivorous critter, from how to acquire one to the… ahem… culinary delights it offers. Buckle up, because things are about to get weird (and possibly deadly).
The path to cow plant ownership is not paved with daisies and sunshine. No, my friend, it's paved with… well, let's just say it requires a little more effort than buying a goldfish. Your first step involves obtaining a Cow Plant Berry. These elusive little fruits are the key to your Cow Plant's existence. There are two main ways to snag one:
First, you can go the foraging route. The Cow Plant Berry often spawns in the wild. Check the "Forgotten Hollow" neighborhood in your game; the berry has a higher chance of spawning in this location. Make sure you keep a sharp eye out for this item, as it does not spawn in other worlds. Keep a sharp eye out, as the plant only becomes available when it is in bloom.
Secondly, you can grow your own. The cow plant berry can be cultivated with the gardening skill. After that, you can find the cow plant, plant the berry and harvest the cow plant.
Once you've got your Cow Plant, you'll need to keep it happy (or at least, not too unhappy). The Cow Plant has needs, and they're relatively simple. You need to feed it.
You can feed the Cow Plant by clicking on it and selecting the "Feed" option. It will then "offer" its cake to the Sim, who will attempt to eat it. At this stage, it is your choice if you want to be kind or evil. If you want to play it safe, you can choose to feed the cow plant a cake. However, you will be required to keep a keen eye on your Cow Plant. The plant becomes hungry after a few days, indicated by a cake appearing. If the cake isn't taken, the plant will then extend its tongue to try to eat the Sim who is near it.
The Cow Plant's needs can vary, but they always involve your Sims' well-being. Whether or not you choose to allow your sims to eat the cake, the outcome is in your hands!
If your Sim survives being eaten by the Cow Plant, they will be "consumed". The cow plant will spit them back out! Then, after that event, the cow plant will produce milk. This milk is a consumable, and may have several effects! The results can range from a feeling of happiness, to a feeling of being completely disgusted! No matter what, there is a benefit!
There is a lot to learn about the cow plant. Enjoy!
You get a Cow Plant by acquiring a Cow Plant Berry. You can find these berries in the wild or grow them yourself. Once you have the berry, plant it, and voila! A grumpy, hungry friend.
If a Sim gets eaten, they'll be "consumed" (don't worry, they can usually be saved before dying). After that, the Cow Plant will produce milk with various effects.
Yes, the Cow Plant can die if it isn't fed for too long. This is a sad end for such a unique creature, so make sure to keep it fed and watered!
