Now your sims can kill their neighbors in style a bit more conveniently.

Note: You MUST have the Laganaphyllis Simnovorii (aka The Cow Plant) from the Sims 3 Store in order for this mod to work. It will NOT add the item to your game.

Looking for a mod that only allows Paparazzi to use the Eat Cake interaction? Want vampires to be able to use the Eat Cake interaction? Take a look at this script mod, written by me.

Updates
This mod is compatible with patch levels 1.66 and 1.67



Requirements:
  • Again, this requires the The Cow Plant Premium Content Item from the Sims 3 Store to be installed in your game, or it will do absolutely nothing.
  • No other Expansion or Stuff Packs are required for this mod, ONLY the store item.
  • These require patch 1.63.

Conflicts
  • These mods will conflict with any other mods that override the same resources listed under each flavor.


Back up your game before you add any of these mods, especially a Piggy Flavor. I am NOT responsible if your whole town ends up getting eaten by your insatiable cow plant! If you use a Piggy flavor, make sure you feed your Cow Plant once a week! I am NOT responsible if your fancy simnovorous plant kicks the can!

Keep Your Sims Safe:Your active sims are not safe from the Cow Plant's insatiable appetite, unless otherwise stated. You must use a version with noplayer at the end of the file name for your active sims to be safe from the Cow Plants ravenous hunger. Otherwise make sure you give them lots to do on their home lot or they will get bored and Eat Cake. In the screenshot above, there were only cow plants on the lot and when they all put out their cakes, that dead sim went straight for a cake. Again, Back Up Your Game, just in case you download/use the wrong flavor.

If you use a safe (noplayer) flavor, your active sims will not be able to use the Eat Cake interaction at all. You will not see the interaction on the Cow Plant, but the inactive sims will be able to use it (and they will). All other interactions with the Cow Plant remain usable by your active sims.

Note:You may need to buy a new Cow Plant (or otherwise wait for the end of the current hunger cycle) for these mods to kick in properly if you use it in a previous save game (even after deleting the scriptCache).


Use only one flavor!

Also Available:Unaltered EA Tuning - This single package files contains all XMLs and ITUNs for the Cow Plant. You can tune these resources the way that you like. If you prefer to use EA's default tuning for some resources, you can delete those resources from this package file. It is not necessary; it will just make the package smaller.

If you'd like an additional flavor, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
