    It looks like you'll be able to find the sheds when they're dirty, just from the stink cloud.
    I highly approve of your fox's name, btw.

    I found another little problem, when I wanted to place more animal sheds. There is a shadow, we just did not notice it with my small versions, but I am onto it, just found a tutorial on how to remove them here https://sims4studio.com/thread/4577/solved-removing-shadow-lods

    Invisible Animal Sheds, that's just way too brilliant. ;) I'm going to have to try that. Way too cool. B)

    Hmm good idea I might try it, I have a barn with 15 enclosures I was wondering how am I going to pull this off. Perhaps resizing it would work.

    I wonder if I just grab a cow in debug mode if it’ll be animated or just like a really convincing cow statue.

    Just a quick pop in, I am getting there, the tutorial I am following is giving me guidelines because the actual package is different, but the shadow is becoming less and less. This is the shadow of the full size animal shed LOL

    Amazing!! This is such good news. Thank you for taking the time to show your progress so we have a better understanding of how to do this. I had a feeling someone in our great modding community would find a way, and you're the winner. Love your mods, btw. I can't wait to see what you create next! <3

    Ugh this is so frustrating. So I finally got rid of the shadow.

    BUT now the game hangs when I save to exit and hangs when I load it up

    Back to the drawing board again. Sorry guys <3

    Holy Macaroni guys I DID IT !!!!!!!

    It working perfectly now. You just have to remember where you put it LOL. If you click in it in buy mode when shifting it then your shadow is there, but in live mode its gone. You can clean the shed, and your cow can go to sleep and then disappears until you call them out or until they walk out by themselves :D

    Photo proof <3
    Not a shadow in sight ;)

    I will be deleting all my other versions from mediafire now. The one I gave above is working perfectly, I have saved and exited and gone into my game several times, interacted with the cow and no issues <3

    Oh my gosh I did not realize how many of you downloaded my previous versions until I opened my mediafire, please make sure to download the correct working one now. <3

    ps. Do you guys think I should make a separate thread in the packs discussion to share the invisible shed or is this one good enough?

    Plan B :)

    So I got this barn from debug. It looks nice and old. I filtered via packs and had only cottage living
    oEOloCX.png

    Then I upsized this pet door
    rxM9a8i.png

    Because a little of the animal shed is sticking out by the barn its easy to click, I cheated the shed dirty and my sim walked right through the barn to go and clean it :D I will look at more debug items for other packs and see what I can find, but I like this very much :)

    Oh I love it! It's so simple and it will fit perfectly in my traditional Russian build.

    Invisible version is great too! Also I've found this mod that may help: https://sims4studio.com/post/164591 it removes routing restrictions for the shed.

    Its compatible with my invisible barn (does bring back the dreaded small shadow, but if you use it indoors its not an issue) and now you can place it anywhere, I had no routing issues outside in the open but when you try to place it in a small size barn then I could not call the cows, now I can ;) I highly recommend others use this too :)

    If you want to put your cow in a barn that is small then I recommend using this mod https://sims4studio.com/post/164591 with my invisible animal shed. It removes any routing issues ;) Thank you very much to @somewhsome who told me about it. Tested it and works perfectly

    ps. also easier to keep track of where you place the invisible animal shed LOL

    pps. If you use only my invisible animal shed then the shadow is gone, but with the mod its back sorry folks, although if you use the mod to have it all indoors then the shadow is not an issue ;)

    If it's possible to choose which of the texture to keep, you could keep the little hay bale at the end of the shed, that way you could see where it is - or you could keep just the doorway, that would work too.

    You could probably do that. I want to have a field full of cows, so I opted for complete invisibility, once you purchase your animal its easy hovering around them until you get the mousepointer to do actions with the shed. I will place little markers too, like deco or a rock or something LOL

    Goodmorning everyone <3 I just want to say that the tuning mod completely changed my invisible package and added the shadows back, so I got rid of it, but if you use it to build barns and indoor things then it should be ok because all it did was bring that one small shadow back that I battled removing all day yesterday LOL.

    I also want to add this disclosure:

    This invisible animal shed package is for anyone who want it, its not just mine, you can upload it as is or make changes to it and upload it. I don't want any credit. I am not after downloads or recognition, purely did this for myself to get rid of the shed and is sharing it with whomever would like it too. If there is a modder out there that can perfect it and perhaps give us gridlines or something like that, Please feel free to do it <3

    Happy simming everyone ;)
