Dairy Cow

This mod introduces a functional, living cow—a dairy “Cowplant”—that is both charming and useful. It reimagines the Cowplant as a peaceful, milk-producing companion, unlike the traditional, sometimes lethal version.

Core Features & Interactions
  • Purchase & Plant Behavior: Sims can buy the Dairy Cowplant from Build/Buy mode and "grow" it like the regular Cowplant.
  • Feeding Mechanics: Feed it hay or special seeds every few in-game hours (about every 4 hours) to keep it healthy.
  • Automatic Eating: If placed on grass or near enabled hay bales/piles, the cow will feed itself without intervention.
  • Milk Collection: After feeding, Sims can collect milk stored in canisters. Open the canisters to get several drinkable bottles, each granting unique moodlets.
  • Milk Variety: Milk types vary based on what the cow eats—hay gives plain milk; custom seeds yield flavored options like almond, banana, or strawberry, each with its own themed moodlet.
  • Autonomous Care: Friendly Sims can feed the cow automatically if it's hungry and not on grass.
Friendship Interactions:
  • Pet the cow to get a "Divine Bovine" moodlet.
  • Talk to it and deepen the bond.
  • At high friendship levels, Sims receive special moodlets or may feel emotional if the cow is sent away.
Meat Option: Sims can shift-click the cow to collect meat—though at a cost:

If friendship is high, there’s a bittersweet moodlet like “Lost a Friend”.

Lifespan: The cow ages normally and will eventually die of old age, with notifications to warn you.

Other thoughtful touches include milk being usable as regular ingredients (with compatible systems or mods), tags for grocery/catalog integration, and streamlined animations (e.g., when cake appears, it indicates hunger without letting Sims eat from the cow).
