    On James Turner's latest let's play, you can trade in chickens for simoleons or meat. So you can get meat from breeding chickens. No idea about cows and llamas, though doubtful since you don't raise and breed them.

    Cows can be traded, too. So maybe also llamas.

    Yeah, teenagers wouldn't be able to handle the concept of cow meat eating. Sure, you can have the meal, but actually killing the cows? Can't offend those vegetarian players by giving them the option. (I have nothing against vegetarians. It just annoys me that they think they're not catered to).

    It reminds me of Stardew Valley. Fishing was fine, eggs were fine, milk was fine but it was like, four years before you could get a steak - and that game was Indie! There's just something so hypocritical about farming games and how they're terrified of admitting how you get a hamburger.

    It sounds like you have a lot against vegetarians.
    I don't remember how to change my signature.

    I think llamas can't be, I was watching lilsimsie's video and a llama had only three trading options, no meat.

    For this type of game. I agree with that. No "killing" fake people or animals.

    As for the chickens? I think it's hilarious that all the fox does is try to steal the eggs. Haha! :D

    I think I'm actually going to enjoy this new pack. B)

    I am glad I can trade in chickens for meat every now and then. Wish we could have bred the cows as well but I can make a challenge for myself out of it.

    Point of farming is growing and producing food to people. I think it should be optional for everyone to play the way they want. My grandparents had big farm and I assure you, no farm has animals as pets. I liked to give names and imagined some of them where my pets, but we all have to learn real life. It’s no good to live in fantasy world.

    Dairy cattle and beef cattle are 2 different things. The rabbits and chickens can kill sims as it should be. Get yourself a meat wall.

    The real question is how do you harvest the meat wall? I've never used it before because I never needed to, but with Cottage Living and the Simple Living lot trait I need it now. I planted it, watered it and massage it, but there's no option to harvest. How do I get faux meat from it?

    Just like any other plant you need to wait for it to grow before it can be harvested. There's no graphics change so it's not intuitive. The cricket flour from the bug houses can also be used for the meat substitute canned thing introduced with CoL and so can some veg such as aubergene. So there is other options too.

    So you can't roast your own chickens or drink the milk from your cow?

    Maybe they found it a little too much to be able to befriend your animals, give them names, increase their relationships, give them clothes, have your kids give them hugs and then eat them.

    I think they should have given us the option, I mean it's a little silly that you can hug your chicken and then immediately go and eat Chicken Saltimbocca directly afterwards.

    I agree...this really isn't how the world works. Real farmers raise cattle and chickens for food and profit...that chicken curry you had last weekend comes from a chicken that may have had a name but was raised to be culled and sold as a food resource.
