Hi all I am so happy. I have my cow farm <3

It was a long process with lots of ups and downs that you can see in this thread ;)
https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/992682/i-build-a-barn-for-my-cow-then-an-invisible-animal-shed-lol/p1

But in the end I made a working invisible animal shed. You can download it here if you wish too <3

So how did I make this working cow farm. Well here it goes.

Step 1
First I placed some random maxis animal sheds without move objects on. I marked with the terrain tool where the end of the cow will be in the shed.

Step 2
I deleted the maxis animal sheds

Step 3
I placed one of my invisible sheds, since it has no gridlines I focused on where I put it, go into live mode and click on purchase cow. The cow then appears, then I go back in build mode and use the alt key to shift it into place where I have marked it will stand. Repeated that 8 times. I also then placed gates at all the spots the shed is, you can't see it in this pic though ;)

Step 4
I deleted the lines I made and call all my cows out. Let the fun begin :D (oops lines still in this pic :D , but delete them hahahaha)

I hope that if any of you out there would like either a llama farm or cow farm, that this will help you :)
Happy simming all <3

edited to add the very talented KyriaT's version of the invisible animal shed <3
It cuts our this whole big rigmaroll you have to do above, now you can just place them and make it invisible with the pink swatch ;)

Oh my gosh Simmers, you are going to love this post <3

I was contacted by the very talented @KyriaT_sim

She is going to change our lives forever :) She has made some changes to our invisible shed that is going to make simming with it so much easier. You now can place it and then use the colour swatch to make it invisible, no more guessing on where you want to place it ;) Here it is when I tested it out in my game, How cool is this !!!!!!

She has very kindly shared her package with me to share with you all. I have uploaded it to my media fire (no changes all credit to KyriaT) and will share it on the first post and the other cow farm thread as well, Its amazing work <3

Here it is for us all, its truly very talented work she did here ;)

    awesomesause! I've been waiting for an invisible shed, assuming it works just as well with the llama?

    I just started my own cow farm, but even with just 3 cows there's a LOT work! So make sure to have a big family :smile: )

    It works with the llama and cow ;) I have a spellcaster that is going to run the farm, so she can magic a lot of things as well as drink some potions to keep her in the green LOL.

    That looks so cool. Did you upload your lot?

    No I did not because it contains the invisible shed, so it will look chaotic if someone downloads it LOL

    This is so beautiful and your cows look very happy! Thank you for sharing your invisible stable!

    Good thing you have a spellcaster in the family with that many animals. I don't have RoM, so I plan employing a servo on large farms. Doubt the locals will like it, though.

    My cows are happy and my sim has not slept in days and the taste of plentiful needs potion is in her mouth permanently LOL. I think a servo is a lovely idea, just give it a rusty look and the neighbours will think its old scrap you have made into something and will be impressed by you :D

    It's so beautiful. I always get envious of other's abilities to make things. I wish I could make things as good as that. You should be proud of yourself.
  • bshag4lvbshag4lv Posts: 9,374 Member
    Just awesome! I love it, I should tell my sister about your invisible shed, lol. She currently has a chicken farm and is losing her mind. :D

    Continued good luck with your amazing build! Me, I know better. :D
    In my house, dog hair sticks to everything but the dog.

    Looks like the perfect countryside farm. The tall grass is such a great effect, too.
