Cowplants Should Make Plant Milk
I think Cowplants should make plant milk. If you have cottage living, the only way to get plant milk that lactose intolerant sims can drink is with the veggie treat. While this is cool and should ...

@maddinwritestuff You have a big 'XP' and 'Me Too' from me on that also! What an awesome idea! I find cowplants annoying (suffice to say I have one in the gallery ... named 'Unwanted Cowplant' 😆), but have never had one die, and I do use them here and there if it fits well in my household goals. I've had no Sim deaths from them, but I have had them get eaten. I find cowplants to be very needy, and they have poopy benefits for the amount of maintenance they want to keep happy. However, if they gave plant-based milk daily as a benefit of your invested efforts, I would be on board with that and actually use them way more often!!!
Another note, if these comments get seen... I would love to see a socialization benefit for caring for the cowplant. It would be cool if they could be in your 'friends'/relationships panel and you could also view how high the bar is in your relationship with them, and if the bar is over 1/2 full you're safe from being eaten. I would play them more if that was the case also.
I would also love if gardeners and butlers would care for them.
@simsplayer818 You likely know this, but if you're getting overwhelmed by caring for them and need a break, you can move the cowplant to the household inventory and they will stay there in limbo until you move them back onto the lot.
@PugLove888 I absolutely agree. I think it's these little things that set the game apart from others.
@SheriGR that's a great tip! I did not know that. I often just grow them at the science lab to get around their tricky nature and then other Sims can take over when I add a new scientist Sim. But that's really useful to know.
I just had to check the new merch store for Cowplant items after this conversation it occurred to me they'd make great gifts but so far they only sell a pin. I hope they add more Cowplant themed merchandise!❤️🐮
@SheriGR , I love your idea of them not eating a Sim if it has a high enough relationship with the Cowplant! 🥰
I think the main reason we can't milk them everyday, is that you can now only milk them after they have eaten a Sim, which isn't everyday, and then wouldn't really be plant based milk! But I still wish we could milk them everyday for plant based milk, and then if they have eaten a Sim then we could milk them for the elixirs that they currently give. That would be the best of both worlds. 😉
@simsplayer818 I have never actually grown a Cowplant at the Science Lab! I've always had them in residential lots! 🤣- @PugLove888 I have a section of the science lab devoted to mysterious plants. I have the alien plants, the Cowplant and the magic beans tree outside in fenced off areas looking mysterious, Strangerville plant stuff is in a locked basement, etc. I do find that they take a few days longer to grow and at one point, the first time I grew it at the lab I thought the Cowplant was going to remain a Calfplant because every day when my Sim got to work it was still a mini-moo. Then eventually she arrived at work and it was fully grown.
The funny thing is when I see other lab staff approach it as it did once chew a member of staff up and spit them out again. Oh dear, my plant just ate a colleague. But they were fine!
- @SheriGR Totally agree.
Would love to see the Cowplant get a friendship bar and watch it rise when you "Talk To Plant". Then, after befriending, you can freely milk them for Plant Milk.
This option would be a nice workaround for Sims who live in an Apartment and can't have a Cow Shed on their lot (at least not that I know of, I've never tried this).
