How to feed NPC to the cowplant

[Aliena]

Does anyone have any idea of how to pull this? I tried feeding a contaminated food potion to the npc and locking the front door so it stays outside, but I did not have any luck yet.

I've never done this, but I know that the cowplant has to be hungry, and have the cake out in order to eat anybody.  When a Sim is eaten for the first time, whatever mood they are in at the time will be drained by the cowplant, and milking the cowplant will provide an essence giving that mood for 12 hours.  In order to get an essence that reverses aging, the same Sim would need to be eaten a second time within 48 hours.

From what I hear, it's very hard to get the cowplant to eat NPCs.

If you trap the NPC in a room until a) the sim is obviously hungry and   b) have a cow plant with it's cake hanging out    and c) remove the fridge etc  from the lot (or lock the kitchen w/e).... then the NPC sim should run to eat the cow plants cake. However to kill the NPC this way you have to repeat it all again within 12 hours before the 'drained' moodlet wears off the NPC sim. It's a game of chance!

It is better to invite the victims to the household and direct them to eat the cake themselves. It is much easier than hoping the visitors NPC to eat themselves. Besides if you have a sim complete the writer aspirations, you can always re-use that NPC for the victim of the cowplant by intentionally killing and resurrect them again and again.

@dodi90 I think some challenges need you to kill of NPC's without ever controlling them... it's pretty tricky to manage it without the cow plant for sure!

I was playing in one of my many files last night. It's a 10 gen legacy. Just for fun one, and at some point the cow plant ate a NPC. I have no clue who, but it just says, "Drink _________"s essence of Focused milk"

Well I can suggest something that might work, try making a special cowplant trap room. Put your beloved NPC there and lock the door and just wait until NPC is eaten. With door locking method, it is actually very easy to kill NPC via cowplant.

crucial time to watch is coming back from work. Got many of my own sims eaten, luckily they put the plant less dangerous.

NPC waiting at your front door is a good opportunity to

That takes all the 'fun' outta it... far too logical.

Well @Aliena  did tried to lock the front door. It is only one step before creating a trap room by locking the NPC only with nothing but cow plant since the option for NPC to wander the house is already limited. I would rather they have NPC will die on first chew while household members got opportunity to be saved in case they autonomously decided to eat the cake.

@fivine you can actually store the cowplant in family inventory if you don't need it without ill side effect.

I didn't test it, but wouldn't a SimRay with the "eat" command upgrade do the trick?

Only if there is not something else 'normal' on the lot for the NPC to eat.

Hmmm, another possible use for simray~~!  Yay!
