I've been playing with the new Cottage Living pack and it feels like cows and llamas need baths a little too frequently and they're pretty high maintenance about it. I think having the cow and llama filth timer set for a longer interval would be a little more realistic. Maybe once a week or every few days? The barns and chicken coops filth timers are ok, cleaning those once a day is realistic. I love the brushing and huggles.

I'm wondering if the Llamas and Cows are this way so that we don't miss having hogs in the game? LOL Both of my seventh great-grandfathers raised hogs, as well. Bacon, bacon, bacon …

I have those Sims designated for this chore get up very early. In fact, in both of my two families it's the girls who do this. Family One, the girls are still Child Sims, whereas the girls in Family Two, are Teens. The rest of the family members work on the crops. Some before school, too. No, the girls aren't in school. I'm playing in the 18th century and girls didn't go to school, unless it was Dame School, which taught them how to run households, etc. (And you think you've got it hard today. Let me tell you …) ;)

But, yeah, I have to admit to being surprised at how often the animals get dirty. And, it's not the chickens. Both the Cows and the Llamas are slobs. That has to be it. How else is it possible to be properly cleaned and to sleep in a clean shed just to come out all dirty in the morning, hm? And the Llamas, all of them so far, have very bad attitudes. LOL I about died when I witnessed for the first time the Llama hurling a loogy right at my Sim!

That was just wrong:

I have a new brand new save with a new family, husband and wife with new baby. The Sim Wife works and Sim Hubby takes care of the farm and crops part. I had to age the baby up to toddler and then child because Sim dad didn't even have enough time to take care of the baby/toddler let alone get to know her. It will be a little better as soon as the couple has a herd of kids to help with the farm, if they get the time to actually, ya know, make babies. He and his wife don't even have time to talk to each other. I hardly get to play the wife or the child's POV.

Yes, they get so dirty in a clean barn so quickly. The slob trait would explain a lot. lol
Ooh, I think I've been lucky, my llama is pretty good so far. *knock on wood* The chickens have been pretty good to play with, no issues with their mechanics. No, wait, that's not strictly accurate, sometimes they'll sit there and stubbornly starve. For no reason. I'm not sure if that's a bug or a feature. I've never met a chicken that wasn't really eager for feeding time. lol I did have to turn off fox attacks while I'm learning how to play the new material.

Your temeramental llama drama is a hoot. lolol
