@LadyAofPineapple , you can "milk" a cowplant but it doesn't give you "milk" or even a plan-based milk substitute. And you can't just milk any copwplant... they have to have eaten another Sim. If the Sim is only been "eaten" once, the Cowplant will spit that Sim out and the eaten Sim will have a Moodlet about the experience. If your Sim were to milk the Cowplant after this, they would end up with a drink that would give them whatever mood the Sim who had been eaten was in at the time they were eaten.
However, If the eaten Sim that still has the moodlet from being eaten by the Cowplant gets eaten a 2nd time, then that Sim will die! And if that happens, your Sim can milk the Cowplant and get a drink that will revert them to the beginning of theri current Lifestage!
This is what you were remembering from the game! It just isn't a plant-based milk, or even milk at all! 🤨
I think if they were to allow plant milk from the Cowplant, it would have to be available only when the Cowplant hasn't eaten anyone, for obvious reasons!
as they are they will absolutely love that tip.

@simsplayer818 , No problem! I hope your friends' sons liked the information! 😊
Another Cowplant tip they might like, is that (IIRC) a Cowplant skeleton can still be used by a PlantSim to absorb energy from! It used to be this way when PlantSims were first introduced, but perhaps an update chanted it. I haven't tried it in a couple of years, so hopefully it still works.🤞 The great thing about this was that absorbing the energy from an already dead Cowplant can't harm the Cowplant! 😅Update: Apparently you can't do this with a dead Cowplant anymore.😥 🤭 Sorry for the confusion. 😳- simsplayer8182 years agoHero@PugLove888 Hellooo 😁! Thanks for that I didn't know any of it. I'm becoming more interested in cowplants since finally adding werewolves and seeing them mentioned in Greg's Diary as being arch enemies in Werewolf/Mooncaster lore. I found the cowplant skull pieces to put together with the other Moonwood Mill relics. So there's a lot more to them than I thought!

@simsplayer818 Glad you are having fun with the Cowplants! 💖 My favorite version of them was with The Sims 2! I had a lot of fun with them in that game, and one of them featured heavily in one of my stories!
I enjoy these goofy and surreal elements of the Sims!🤪
And I have to say that the Werewolves pack is so much fun! 🥳🐺
- LadyAofPineapple2 years agoSeasoned Ace@PugLove888 This I do know: there isn't any interaction like that once the cowplant dies. It is quite useless once it does (I am terrible about caring for them unfortunately and wish they were part of the "tend garden" interaction, lol. Or that employees would care for them, if they were hired to do gardening activities (butler/gardener/ranch hand).

@LadyAofPineapple Thanks for verifying that this doesn't work anymore.😇 It used to work when we first got Cowplants and Plantsims, so I'm sad to see it isn't possible anymore. 😥
@simsplayer818 Most of my Science Lab experience happened before we got the Cowplants, Magic Bean Stalk, and Mother Plant! I used to play with the Science Lab quite a lot before then! So your Science Lab garden is much better than mine was! 😅😎🌱🌿
