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.
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!
@stbnchristine, that is a fantastic idea! 🤓 Thanks for your input! ❤️ I have a glitched coworker at one of my Sim's scientist career, so I might use a cowplant in order to get rid of him (he's always in street clothes instead of a lab coat, even when I use the Sim Ray to make him change clothes). I also never thought of planting the cowplant at a public venue! Time to start planting! 👿
