Unless a Sim is hungry they will not take the cake and they must be invited to the lot or live on it.
The cowplant does not kill a sim the first time they get eaten but their essence will be taken and if they get eaten another time before it is restored they will die.
Thanks for replying, JPKarlsen! That makes since that a Sim that can't be directed would only take the cake if they were hungry enough. The problem is that the Cowplant usually dies before anyone takes the cake! Thanks for explaining that if the Sim who gets eaten doesn't have their essence restored before they get eaten again, they will die the second time! 😮
Do you happen do know about how long it takes before a Sim's essence gets restored? 🤔
You can milk the Cowplant and drink it immediately.
I can't remember how long it takes. You can hover the mouse over the debuff they get to see it if it is one of your own sims.
I use the dead cowplant as a decoration so I fence them in so nobody can feed them.
JPKarlsen, thanks for replying! 🙂 Like I have said, I never tried this on one of my Sims before, since I didn't know what the effects were (such as death, sickness, unconsciousness, shortened life span, etc.) so I was not able to hover over the debuff since it wasn't one of my Sims who I managed to have the CowPlant eat! I guess I will have to experiment with one of my own Sims in that case, since no one remembers exactly. I did have my Sm drink Moira Fyres essence, but I was wondering on how long I had to wait for Moira to recover from the incident before I could have my CowPlant strike again without killing her!
Now I have to wonder what happens to Plant Sims, Vampires, Ghosts, etc.. Can the CowPlant eat them? 🤔 What if a Vampire drinks from one of my Sims and then a CowPlant eats them? I'm thinking that even if it is the first time a CowPlant eats them , in this case they are already in a weakened state and it would probably kill them! 😮
Thanks for replying! ❤️
The MySims have eaten the cake without being eaten by the plant and I'm trying to get one of my Sims to be eaten by the plan just to see what goes on and now it works but it's not happening.
Do you have any Mods or CC? If so move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game.
My botanist has a cow plant at work. At the science lab, I had to fence in the cow plant so people would quit getting eaten. If one of my other scientists went to work and I forgot about the cow plant, another worker would always get eaten. Several died. So it is definitely an issue with it needing to be a visitor on the lot. Try planting one at a venue. Lol. You will get plenty of milk essences!
