Just wanted to share that the horse/mini animal objects work off lot. I made this huge ranch in Henford using the space off lot. All of it works. Things I placed off lot that were autonomously used:Horse bedHorse ballWater TroughPrairie grass (animals can eat)Things my sim could interact with when given a command:Animal shed (can use autonomously with club actions)Horse training equipmentHorse feederPrairie grass (sim can harvest)Chicken coophttps://i.imgur.com/YcDnKxV.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/X0vwNQ7.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/ONrB3rD.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/nDVErlT.jpg

That looks amazing. Did you come right with the invisible animal shed? I did try my best to help in my thread :)

If you have two prairie grass in your inventory, you can feed them to a cow. But the animation is the cottage living one, so it looks like your sim feeds grains to the cow.

I was able to use @mcrudd 's invisible animal sheds to get a more natural look and place them off lot. You can see the cows in the upper middle. You can interact with the shed (a tooltip pops up when you hover the invisible shed). My sim was able to upgrade it. I have a club of ranch hands and they autonomously interacted with them. The actual ranch hand cleaned the shed. This is awesome!https://i.imgur.com/ul5bcuR.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/3jeE0Tn.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/jXIXOle.jpg

@Mstybl95 you have made that lot look amazing <3 I love how it spreads beyond your lot, giving it a huge big farm look. Absolutely stunning :)

Thanks! I'm having a blast playing this lot. I want to fill in all the empty areas with more animals but I'm at max capacity to take care of them all. lol...the guy and his wife have their own club each of ranch hands so I can have a 24hr operation. :D

You can also refill the food in the shed with prairie grass, iirc.

I just noticed this, too. You have to have it in your inventory for the option to show up.

I really like this option for living even more in a self sustaining way, great in combination with the simple living lot challenge.

Not yet. I didn't have time to get back on my computer. I'll let you know once I try again later.
