Mission achieved .... My cow farm <3 (retired)

 I have done my best to keep all of my cc and mods updated after new packs and patches. Unfortunately I am no longer able to do that, due to personal reasons I am leaving the big sims community. I will still be playing sims now and again if time and health permit, but I can no longer actively keep up. I am officially resigning from my mods, others are welcome to test them and let others know if they still work or not, but I can no longer do that. So far my mods has never needed updating so all is good, but you never know with future packs so please just be aware of that 🙃

I have enjoyed all the requests I had over the last few years and I have loved spending time and helping other simmers here on the forums, I will miss you all and also thank you from the deepest part of my heart for all of your support these years, You are all the best ❤️

Hi all I am so happy. I have my cow farm <3



It was a long process with lots of ups and downs that you can see in this thread ;)

So how did I make this working cow farm. Well here it goes.

Step 1
First I placed some random maxis animal sheds without move objects on. I marked with the terrain tool where the end of the cow will be in the shed.


Step 2
I deleted the maxis animal sheds


Step 3
I placed one of my invisible sheds, since it has no gridlines I focused on where I put it, go into live mode and click on purchase cow. The cow then appears, then I go back in build mode and use the alt key to shift it into place where I have marked it will stand. Repeated that 8 times. I also then placed gates at all the spots the shed is, you can't see it in this pic though ;)


Step 4
I deleted the lines I made and call all my cows out. Let the fun begin :D (oops lines still in this pic :D , but delete them hahahaha)


I hope that if any of you out there would like either a llama farm or cow farm, that this will help you :)
Happy simming all <3

edited to add the very talented KyriaT's version of the invisible animal shed <3
It cuts our this whole big rigmaroll you have to do above, now you can just place them and make it invisible with the pink swatch ;)

Oh my gosh Simmers, you are going to love this post <3

I was contacted by the very talented KyriaT_sim​



She 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 !!!!!!




She 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

    Hi there simmers. From today please check the link above to see if the invisible animal shed is still working. The new forums are a bit hard to navigate, so I decided to put all of my mods and cc in one thread, which is the link above. I can also confirm that I tested the invisible animal shed and it is still working after the 26th July update and the release of the Love struck pack 😀

    Aww thanks so much <3
  • Hi there Simmers.

    My laptop has died a blue screen death after 6 years. I am saving up to take it to Dell to see if they can rescue it. Until then I am unable to test the two invisible animal shed versions every time as I usually do after an update or new pack like the two new kits we have now. I do apologize for that. As soon as my laptop is fixed, I will download the new packs and updates and test as soon as I am able too. For now, I ask that if any of you do use the invisible animal sheds to please just pop in here and let others know if it is still working or not, that would be greatly appreciated <3

    Thanks Melanie (aka mcrudd)
    Happy simming all :)
  • Hi there Mods/Gurus could you please combine my two threads, this one here and then this one https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/992682/i-build-a-barn-for-my-cow-then-an-invisible-animal-shed-lol#latest . They used to be in two separate thread discussions but are both in the same Mods thread now, so does not make sense having both here ;)
