Link to invisible animal shedhttps://www.curseforge.com/sims4/build-buy/invisible-animal-shedJust a test lot, thought I would try building a barn type building to house my llama and cow together after I saw a tutorial on you tubehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RB40daWa8A&t=196sBut I don't use the tool mod thingy, so I just used the same principle and did it by hiding the little barn sheds under enlarged hay bales LOLhttps://i.imgur.com/BmDr2z1.pngEdit to add the new version by the very talented @KyriaT_sim <3Oh my gosh Simmers, you are going to love this post <3 I was contacted by the very talented KyriaThttps://i.imgur.com/1Hz1xBM.pngShe is going to change our lives forever :) She has made some changes to our invisible shed that is going to make simming with it so much easier. You now can place it and then use the colour swatch to make it invisible, no more guessing on where you want to place it ;) Here it is when I tested it out in my game, How cool is this !!!!!!https://i.imgur.com/hhC1RxL.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/dNGmmkq.pngShe has very kindly shared her package with me to share with you all. I have uploaded it to my media fire (no changes all credit to KyriaT) and will share it on the first post and the other cow farm thread as well, Its amazing work <3 Here it is for us all, its truly very talented work she did here ;)https://www.mediafire.com/file/3fkxs4qmbnmwyqp/McRudds_completely_invisible_animal_shed_slightly_changedB.package/file

Your barn looks great. Do the cow and Llama walk around after shrinking the sheds or does their walking space shrink as well.

Only thing is when you sent them in then they disappear once they inside. I have a teensy piece of each shed sticking out of the haybales at the back so I can call them out again, they walk right through the haybales. This is just a test game, so I will test it more and more, but so far no issues, just had my cow disappear once when milking, but that happens in my normal shed games as well, so think its a bug already.

I might just restart and look at my spacing of the animals, they are a bit to close for comfort LOLhttps://i.imgur.com/xEgeQ7M.pngIts a trial and error thing, hence a test game, but I am super happy it actually works :D

Moving the building out 1 square each side easily solved the space issue, and they walk in and out by themselves, went to bed at night time, I just had to get rid of my doors, which is a pity. But I will look at different ways to build the barn to make it look ok without doors ;) https://i.imgur.com/FlHPWSc.pngAtleast we know its possible if we wanted to make our own, I am even thinking of removing the barriers and adding the coop in there since the chickens do walk all over the yard. Mmm gonna try that now LOL

Oh my gosh it works, and it looks so cool :) <3Sorry its night time, I will fast forward to day time to show you guys :D https://i.imgur.com/Qd5kmOo.png

@Mstybl95 I could not really notice the floating or sinking into the ground ;) If you don't mind cheats, I used to shift click on the sheds to clean them when I had a huge farm full of cows LOL. You have to click testingcheats true first and then if you shift click on the shed the option to make it clean will appear :) That might help make things a little easier for you. I am so loving the look of your farm, it looks so real. If you want too, there was fake veggie crops in buydebug as well, I think I had to use the bb.showliveeditobjects cheat as well as bb.showhiddenobjects. I will add a pic of them where I used them in the background of my test lot for my buydebug items :)

Only problem that you can kind of see in my picture is that some cows appear to float slightly and one of their hooves are sunk in the ground because it's not all level. But unless you get right down at ground level, you can't really notice it. And I'm so glad I have a huge ranch like I wanted. The lots are just not big enough.

So far I have tried all the animals off lot and they all work. BUT...huge red flag is that you cannot clean the shed or feed the llamas and cows if you aren't playing the household that owns them. You can have a neighborhood chicken coop off lot and every house in the neighborhood can take care of them.

@Mstybl95 Yay so glad you came right :) Oh wow that looks AweSim and so clever to have "ranch hands" take care of all the animals. It looks super cool that your animals are off lot, I never knew that was possible, one day when I get a new computer I will certainly look into it ;) Thanks for sharing <3

I got it to work!! I was looking for a recolor on the main item, not a new one. It can be found by searching for animal shed.

Edited to add: I also created a club of "ranch hands" and they're only job is to take care of the animals. They do it autonomously even when they're off lot.

@Mstybl95 this bothered me so I quickly although I have computer issues downloaded the invisible animal shed from Curse forge (I no longer had it on my computer) and tested it. It still does work as you can see in the screenshots below, I hope you can get it to work for you, please do keep me updated

ps. Perhaps make sure that you have custom content enabled in your gameplay options by other ;)

@Mstybl95 I found this old screenshot to show you what it looks like in your buildmode menu :)
This is when you search by filtering custom content as I described above ;)

I am not familiar with TOOL, but the invisible animal shed is a separate recolour, so it is not a swatch in the original one. So if you sort by custom content only you should see it then. It looks the same in build mode then it has the pink swatch to change it. I no longer are able to test my cc due to computer issues, but I did check it after the release of Horse Ranch and it was working, please let me know if you come right by filtering by custom content :)
