Question: Cottage Living Animal Sheds

I want to make a new mesh for the animal barn in a more typical American traditional barn that's less village themed so it will fit in with other worlds better and I've not had a chance to play with it yet.

I was wondering if the animals actually walk to the hay/straw feed container? I can see that the hay/straw empties over time like how laundry piles up in the laundry hampers, so I know it's functioning in some way but I didn't know about the routing and if the animals walk over there and feed from it.

If so, then I know that I need to keep my new barn mesh the same dimensions and layout as EA's. Obviously the door needs to be in the same position too since they disappear inside of it.

EDIT: Also was wondering if the lights are functional as well, so I know that I need to add lights too.

  • No they dont walk over to the hay, you can see it fill up when a sim is tasked to fill it but they do so from the inside of the shed (they walk into the shed and seem to throw hay into, you can see the hay).
  • @RavenSpit TYSM for clarifying!

    Now I know I can finish it up and make my new textures!

    Here's a WIP pic (ignore the roof texture, that will be changed)

  • That is a more traditional American-style Barn. (I should know, I live in Ohio!) If you want to see how they fully function, I would watch one of the many Let's Plays out there. James Turner's is my favorite. Also DeeSims. They both actually interact with the farm stuff a lot more than others and they are interacting post-release so you might be able to glean more information that way.
  • @SimsLady2000 I'm in Ohio too! Thanks for the names of the GC's who actually play with the animals, I'll definitely check them out.
