Premium Content Coming Soon - Cow Plant

[RunAmokSims]

Ok, I bit. I bought the cow plant.  Just how do you get this bit of bovine electrons to eat someone? Does it have to be a playable Sim? So far it has shown no interest in NPCs. Maybe it's just not hungry?

I haven't seen it yet - I'm just going to look at it - but if it's like the one in Sims2, you have to wait for someone to come by and take the cake.

I got it but I haven't played yet, so I haven't seen it in action.  I'm going to test it out in a random game before I decide if I will give my Fae Dynasty a cow plant.  I would hate to have one of my dynasty family accidentally get eaten because they have a sweet tooth.

My cow plant doesn't seem to be eating anybody? Even if I don't feed it for a few days. :/ Has anybody got the action to praise or scold it?

[Schipperke]

This is what it says in the store description: 

Happy Cow Plants aren’t as likely to offer up the cake bait.
A neglected Cow Plant starts luring in unsuspecting Sims after a few days with no food!

So if your Cow plant isn't eating anyone, maybe you've been keeping it too happy?

My cow plant ate somebody. I waited 3 sim days and didn't feed it anything or play with it! But after it ate the sim it burped him up again! So I didn't get chance to milk it. Maybe next time.

Aw, that's got to feel terrible.  Not even the cowplant likes him!

Indeed. I assume those sims will get the 'Nobody Loves Me Anymore!' moodlet.

My cow plant was finally tempting Sims with cake. The maid (who really deserved to be eaten) did not show the slightest interest in the cake and walked right by. One of the Sims in the household had to be prompted to take the cake. Cow swallowed him down and promptly sent him back up. I got the message that sometimes the plant does not like neurotic Sims.

 His hygiene was in the red and he had to take a shower.

Are y'all sure that a Sim can milk this Sims 3 version?  Or is that something from the Sims 2?

Yeah, I just looked at it.  I'm trying to figure out how to purchase it.  It says not available for individual sale, so I guess it's part of a set.  Sorry if that's already been mentioned in this thread.

[Schipperke]

It's part of a set that includes items from the Sims 2 mountain holiday destination, whatever that was called - I don't remember offhand.  The set is called Killer Classics.  Available here:  http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?scategoryId=11488&index=0&productId=OFB-SIM3:45244

That really sucks. And its very unfair. We should have both options, of the set ans individual. Guess, I ain't getting it for now, (or later.)
I cannot say how mad I am right now.

I saw an unactivated option to purchase re item on it's own for a normal Premium Content price.
But unfortunately, it's unactivated for now, for some reason.
I know,it sounds a bit negative but I really get the feeling we are a bit pushed to buy the expansive version. Especially after I've installed the latest patch which brings actual item advertisement into the buy and build mode.
