The Cowplant and You!
The Cowplant is possibly one of the hardest plants to find and grow in your game, but luckily we’re here to teach you how to find and care for this elusive beast. There are multiple ways to get the Cowplant in your game, but first you must locate a Cowplant Berry. This can be found through fishing, space exploration, digging for treasure, or harvesting if you’ve graft a dragonfruit with a snapdragon. Once you have found the berry, all you need to do is to plant it exactly the same way as you would any other plant in the game.
The Cowplant has three growth stages, Horn, Stem, and then the Full Grown plant. It can be grown at any gardening level, although it is recommended that you have some skill first. Once your Cowplant has fully matured, you will be able to have special, unique interactions with it, such as Feed, Play, Eat Cake, Collect Sample, Milk and Pet. Keep in mind that child sims will only ever have the Play interaction for the Cowplant.
You must be careful when taking care of your new Cowplant, as they need to be fed every 12 hours. If you don’t, you’ll find that the Cowplant has stuck out a cake-shaped tongue in the hope of luring it’s next meal, your Sims! There will be two options to either Feed the Cowplant, or Eat the Cake. If your Sim decides to eat the cake, there’s a chance that the Cowplant will either spit out or devour your Sim, the latter resulting in a visit from the Grim Reaper. Sims that have been spat out by the Cowplant will leave an essence of whatever mood they were in at the time inside of the Cowplant udder, which can be milked and drunk by any Sim to instantly get that mood. If a Sim has been killed by the Cowplant, it will leave the Essence of Life, which adds a few days to the life of the Sim who drinks it.
Make sure that you take good care of your Cowplant, as if it is not fed after an additional 12 hours after sticking out the cake, it will die and will not be able to be revived, leaving a husk in it’s place. This can make a wonderful decoration on a ranch style lot, however. Happy Simming!
There is the Bean Challenge thing in the sims 4 and you can get a cow plant there too. That’s how I got my Cow Plant.
how I got my Cow Plant.
I personally got my Cowplant from fishing in Oasis Springs at this abandoned pond at the park… Took quite a few tries but was definatly worth it!
Oh noes
Same
I got my cow plant by cheating XD now I have a cow plant army! HAHA you shall bow before us!
U NUUUUUUS
I cheated too, mostly because I am a new player and didn’t know how to get it without cheating
If you go to Sylvan glade there’s a lake that I kept fishing in and I got 2 berries. If you don’t know how to get there you have to keep interacting with this ‘mystical tree’ which can be found in willow creek on the daisy hovel lot
I did too
Got a cowplant then my sim ate the berry. I’ve wanted to know if I can get another one without cheating… is that possible?
try space exploration
Yes! You can splice a dragon fruit and snapedragon then graft them together. You will get a plant that grows the cowberry
Graphing a strawberry plant and a snapdragon plant will give tou a cowberry you can plant, wait a few days and the plant will be a huge people eating cow , remeber feed it every 12 hours!
yes, go fishing in sylvian glades pond
Thanks for all the info! I’m a stay-at-home as well to a 1 year old and play whenever I get the chance. 🙂 They should have all this info in the lessons of the game since this plant can kill your sim! Haha
Well, the plant can kill your sims, but only if they have the “drained” moodlet, which is (ironically) obtained after being eaten previously by the cowplant. Otherwise, your sim will always be spit out.
What happens when you consume a Cowberry? Does it give any special effects?
@Carrie No, just a regular moodlet for having eaten fruit.
an easy way to get the cowplant is to go fishing, its still takes awhile, but easy. 🙂
Or if your gardening is at level 10 you can buy rare seed packs that sometimes have cowberries in them. 🙂
Yes, the rare seed pack is how I got mine. 🙂
Another way to obtain the cowplant is the Spice Festival in The Sims 4: City Living. Simply harvest the plant called “Bush”
I opened up my first ever farm seed packet and got one.
How do you ‘Collect Sample’ or ‘Milk’? All I get are the other three…
You have to have logic skills and have a microscope to collect samples I believe? If you can do it with other plants, you should be able to do it with a well fed cowplant. My Astronaut sim can do it. Also they have to be well fed though, or else the option is grayed out (Aka, has eaten a sim, whether spat out or swallowed) to be milked or sampled. At least I think so– I only got my own cowplant recently.
You know what happens if you eat the cow plant bean? I’d love to try it. Not sure it’ll be working. And what if I do it with my pregnant sim? Thanks
I Actually gain the cowplant by promotion idk why,soo lucky me i guess
I just got one from exploring space. I did not expect it.
I got mine at a festival ( spice market )
What exactly happens when you eat a cowplant berry?
I got my first and second cow plant by visiting the Spice and Romance Festivals and my third by fishing.
I had gotten my cowplant by complete accident. Was not actively looking for it. One of sims went fishing in the river behind their house and then I got a cowplant seed. And he was only like level 2 in fishing. Got it on first time. Oh also I had gotten 2!
I had a dolphin fetch me a cow plant berry in island living. My sim is a mermaid and was given that option
My cow plant seems to be refusing to eat. Help! One of my sims already got chewed up and spat out haha
I got my cowplant at the spice festival.
I got mine at I think the spice festival that comes with the City Living pack… it was on one of the plants in the planter lol
i got my cow plant seed and planted it but for some reason it went off my lot and i cant move it back onto my lot. how do i fix this ?
