    I'm surprised by death by rabbit.

    Maybe a rabid rabbit? I know some roosters can be mean and if they have their spurs definitely can be a hazard. I've also known a broodie hen or two in my time. However they mostly just pecked.

    Same. I have a flock and they can be skittish, but are pretty sweet. I've even in one case had seven roosters and could hold them as much as any hen. If anything, they're brutal to each other and not people.

    As for the rabbits... Not sure what the idea is here. Would it really be kind of a repeat like rabbit rodent fever?
    No, when you mistreat a rabbit they can get in a fight with you and kill you.

    Imagine rabbits attacking flower bunny.

    Me too, lol, it seems like it would have been more realistic to have death by fox.

    It is a throw back to Monty Python and the Quest For the Holy Grail. There is a famous killer bunny in it. Realism has nothing to do with it. It is hardly the only reference to globally acclaimed British media ether. There is Doctor Who like phone booth that hasn't been in use for years for example. I like the loose pop culture references. I find them fun.

    At least these two I understand. But cats riding roombas, toddlers getting cleanned with a hand vacuum and the sprite with glasses had me at a loss. The cats thing is funny even without context, the sprite's origin someone here explained to me, but the toddler meme is still beyond me. (Please tell me it really is a meme, and people don't do this for real!)

    Some facts about the animal shed woohoo

    Banjo music plays during woohoo and hay comes out along with 💕hearts

    Sims get kind of a bad moodlet from woohooing in the shed.

    If there is an animal in the shed you have to call it out to be able to woohoo.

    Does anybody know how many tiles the cows and chickens use?
    Kinda hard to do any kind of build without knowing how much space you need!

    OMG the cow shed is huge. So smaller lots are not suitable for more than one farm animal. :/

    thanks for that!
    So if you want a cow but you live on a 20x15 lot you should basically just move in with it!LOL

    I think the cow shed is with all the footprint necessary for the cow to roam about. You could try build your sim's house above the shed if you need more space. :lol:

    Oh, now that's interesting! I really wish we'd had at least one more empty lot... it would be so much fun to build a treehouse type home, and then you'd have more room potentially for sheds at the bottom.

    One of the first things I'm going to do when I get the CL pack is have a Sim donning the knight armour get killed by a rabbit. The Monty Python enthusiast in me needs such a ghost roaming in the town.

    Im still curious about what would happen if you shrunk your animal shed down....would it be the same as the fish tank with the animal staying the same size? Then presumably it would just vanish when it went into its teeny tiny house!LOL

    Maybe we could get miniature cows. :lol: If the shed shrinks down without affecting the cows then it could easily be incorporated into other buildings. If not, there is always the option to build above or below ground if space is an issue.

    So I have a 85 tile house, 15 tile greenhouse, and room for 2 cow sheds, a coop, 5 garden crop patches, (same size as the large planters) the birds and rabbit on 30 X 20 lot. I can have a farm in the town, yay.

    well, I just did a quick experiment on a 20x15 lot and built a very nice 1 bed modern treehouse with a 2 bed house in a basement using only 5x5 of the ground level....meaning you could easily fit a family, an animal shed, a chicken coop and some gardening plots on the smallest lot size!
