How to Get a Cowplant in The Sims 4

The Cowplant stands out as one of the most bizarre and fascinating additions a Sim can bring into their home. More than just a plant, it's a living, breathing creature with a taste for cake and, occasionally, Sims themselves. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every method to acquire your own, from the easiest fishing spots to advanced gardening techniques, and teach you how to manage its deadly appetite.

How to Acquire a Cowplant Berry

Before you can grow this legendary life form, you first need to find its seed, known as a Cowplant Berry. There are several paths to obtaining one, each with varying levels of difficulty and reliability.

1. Fishing: The Most Reliable Method

For players looking for a straightforward approach, fishing is your best bet. Head to Desert Bloom Park in Oasis Springs and cast your line into the small pond nestled against the mountains. While it requires patience, this location offers the highest and most consistent chance of reeling in a Cowplant Berry without any skill prerequisites.

2. Grafting: Creating a Sustainable Source

For gardeners aiming for a self-sustaining Cowplant farm, grafting is the way to go. This multi-step process requires Gardening Skill Level 5:

Grow a Strawberry and a Snapdragon (seeds can be found in Willow Creek).

Graft them together to create a Dragonfruit plant.

Once the Dragonfruit is mature, graft it with another Snapdragon.
The resulting plant will periodically yield fresh Cowplant Berries, giving you an endless supply.

3. Ordering Rare Seeds (Seasons Expansion)

If your Sim has mastered gardening by reaching Level 10 of the Gardening Career, you can bypass the search entirely. With The Sims 4: Seasons expansion, use the computer or a planter box to "Purchase Seeds" and buy the "Rare Seeds" pack. This pack has a high chance of containing the berry you need.

4. Alternative Methods with Lower Odds

• Digging for Treasure: Random dig spots around the world have a very small chance to yield aberry. This is not a method to rely on but a nice surprise whilecompleting the Curator aspiration.
• Space Exploration: Sims in the Astronaut career can sometimes find a berry while exploring space, specifically during the "Trials of the Green Man" mission.However, this is a time-consuming and unreliable method.

Caring for Your Cowplant: Risks and Rewards

Once planted, your Cowplant berry will grow into a fully sentient creature with specific needs.

The Deadly Appetite

Your Cowplant must be fed a cake every 12 hours. If neglected, it will use a slice of cake as bait to lure hungry Sims.If a Sim takes the bait, the plant will eat them! The Sim might be spatout, or they might die, summoning the Grim Reaper.

Valuable Benefits

The danger comes with a unique reward. After consuming a Sim, the Cowplant can be milked.

• If the Sim died, you'll get an "Essence of Life" potion that extends the drinker's lifespan.
• If the Sim was spat out, you'll get a moodlet potion that transfers their emotional state to the drinker.
  Remember, if you fail to feed your Cowplant for a full 24 hours, it will die and leave behind only a skeleton.

How to Get an Undead (Ghost) Cowplant

For those who want the Cowplant's benefits without the daily maintenance,the Undead Cowplant from The Sims 4 Realm of Magic is the perfectsolution. It doesn't need to be fed but retains its ability to eat Sims.

There are two primary ways to get one:

Rewards Store: Purchase an Undead Cowplant for 3,000 Satisfaction Points.

Cleanse a Ghostly Infestation: Visit the haunted houses in the Forgotten Grotto of Willow Creek (orCrow's Crest in Glimmerbrook with Realm of Magic). Use a Sim to "Cleanse Ghostly Infestation" for a chance to receive one as a reward.

With this guide, you're fully prepared to hunt down, grow, and manage one of The Sims 4's most iconic and thrilling additions. Will you risk it allfor the power of the Cowplant?
