Hello everyone! This is a brief comparison of Cowplants in the 3 latest The Sims games. If you've checked my community post you know I was working on butlers but since my files have been lost I decided I'd take the time to make a simpler comparison aaand here it is. I hope you enjoy it! I'll probably work on Butlers next, or who knows, maybe they bring new stuff like the beach back in Sims 4 now that we're close to summer? Let's hope!
Anyways, let me know what you thought about this one, they're all fairly similar but I think you can definitely see the evolution here.
My opinion?
In this case I think they've only been improving on it.
Sims 2 it was just a reward career objects, and I loved those, this was like the base cowplant with barely any interaction but it was cool to have.
Sims 3's felt like the exact same model but with extra interactions, which is great. But I didn't like how they didn't add a special ghost.
Sims 4's feels like the more polished version, it took what made the others great and added to it, the animation is smoother, this time there's a ghost which feels special and the milk has more properties! Plus, when it dies it leaves a cool skeleton behind.
So those are my thoughts, what are yours? Be sure to share them in the comment section and I'll see you later, goodbye!

It's so sad that TS3 requires you to buy (?) a set to get a cowplant. TS4 is far from my favorite game, but since it's in the base game I'll have to give that one the win.
Sims 3 and Sims 2
I am slightly concerned over how normal it seems to be for the Sims to just cannibalize others via the cowplant.
Hey now, I'm not here to judge
What's eyebrow raising to me is the acceptance of cowplants in general. Eating your family and trying to kill you doesn't make them any less deserving of scritches and affection, it seems. ... (They're so precious, tho!)
@@djdexcat Yep! They're perfect to- I mean pets, yes pets. Because I still don't have friends in the Sims, I have cowplants. And no, they're not the reason I have no friends!
Beltsinesto I'm more concerned about how it gave them more lifetime. Even if just some few days
True but it is not cannibalism as the cow plant is a different specie altogether
In Sims 4, you forgot that the Cowplant can dance if you put radios nearby.
WAIT WHAT??!
I didn't know, would've been fun to show this in action

That's so cute OMG
Sims 2: Doesn't Die. Sims 3: It dies after 7 Days of Starvation. Sims 4: Instantly turns into a Skeleton after 1 Day of Starvation:
The death animation in TS3 really takes the cake (no pun intended) as while the cowplant skeleton in TS4 is kinda nifty, the transition looks half-assed (well, tbh, most anything in TS4 is half-assed)
@@adrianblake8876 True, It's just like a Jump from one sprite to another.
Lol
@@adrianblake8876 yeah, it staright up turns into a cowplant skeleton with no animation at all. unilke sims 3 cowplant that actually looks like it is dying.
Idk why but the transition was so quick it lowkey made me laugh-

8:45 dude is laughing and then gasps when he realizes she's dead LMFAOOOOO
Haha that random lady just got bitten by one of those- wait was that CHERRYL!?!?
and thats when he realised... he f#cked up
Haha that lady she is stupid, i hope she goes dea- WAIT GRANDMA NO DONT-
I think I heard him say "wait..." After he gasped?
Kíd Prínče yes i did too isn't that weird
Good parenting: Letting your kid play with a plant-cow hybrid that could kill you. I mean that's what I did as a kid.
Same! Such a shame to see this new generation missing out smh
Almost just letting you go lol XD
For once I think this is a feature that's actually better in Sims 4, not just gameplay wise but also the animations. My only issue with it is that it's not particularly threatening as it won't really eat anyone unless you deliberately sacrifice a sim for life essence. The one from Sims 2 was actually dangerous.
Try opening a shop in ts4 with one of those on the premises. That's how I got the missing ingredient fit for my bakery/gourmet shop. Muahaha
Hmm... what about a restaurant? Get the sims nice and fat before the cow plant eats them.
My evil scientist has 2 who regularly eat and kill random party guests, 3 so far.
Юлия Чернышова omg, thats so clever. Guess I have to have my sims open a bakery now...
I love that we are here discussing the best ways to kill more Sims with cowplants.
My friend have always thought that life would be better if it was the Sims world, because how easy it would be to get money. Ya know, "motherlode". But imagine being a kid, in school talking about their pets: Claire: "I have a dog and he's the best dog ever!" Danny: "I have a rat, don't tell my mom though, she doesn't know." Peter: "I have a cat, very cute, but the cuteness is a trap. Hey Gibby, what'cha got?" Gibby: "A cowplant...and it eats people. We can drink its' milk after it has consumed their body." *Danny.exe has stopped working*
Nobody is gonna talk about how the name Peter is under someone talking about a rat? Hold on.
@@c3lxtia124 OMG! I didn't notice!
8:47 he just casually laughs at her dying then tries to act shocked and upset immediately after
"Children are attracted to the cake as well" *Oh no* "And the Cowplant can swallow them whole" *_OH NO_*
I've lost count of the paperkids that have been swallowed, slimed and spat out by my cowplants ... and the next day they try to grab that cake again! And so it goes on every time the cake is out.
The children aalways survive though
@@Webslingershat yeah that's a good Cowplant there
I really hope kids can died by cowplant. Sadly they're not
I love how in The Sims 4 the plant just kinda dies Like in The Sims 3 it had an animation
Like it just instantly turned into a skeleton
Yeah, but the skeleton is pretty cool while in Sims 3 it was pretty sad to see your cowplant pathetically lying on the floor xD
My assumption is they assumed you won’t be actively watching your cow plant if you let it die from neglect. Could have been good for an animation, but it’s a fair assumption
@@paulsd9255 Maybe they should assume that there will always be someone watching? Besides, it dies really quickly, I think anyone could accidently "neglect" it.
I get so emotionally attached to my cowplants. I had one I had for SO LONG die randomly and it made me actually cry. I'm a freaking. Adult. Wtf. Lol 😂
Wait, they can die?? Edit: just finished the video. I guess they can
Wow.. thats kinda sad. How long did it live?
I wish my sims are way to dumb to even fish up some that's not a gold fish or some that is not even worth 50$ I'm geting fish worth 5$ AND I DK HOW TO MAKE THEM GO SPACE THEY TAKE TO LONG TO GET TO THE LEVE OF GRADING TO GET I CANT GET IT UGH ALL I WANT IS TO SEE SOME THING DIE FROM A PLANT OF DETH IR AT LEST GET SPIT OUT I WANT SOMETHING COOL TO HAPPEN THEN JUST SEEING MY SIMS CAT EAT CAKE
@@RequestTheSinger you can get a berry with a cheat code...but I don't know what Code it is :p
Honestly, I would cry too! Cow plants are so cute and sweet 🥺💕
Baby Cowplant tho, I've taken multiple pics of one when I played with an older version of base game sims4. (Before the Pets expansion came out.) I wish it had little wiggling animations, or tiny 'moo' noises. Because iT'S sO FRICKinG CUTe. 😆

1. The cowplant was starved, so that would explain the starvation piece, and 2., It's unfair how cute they are..., 3., I find it gross that sims will happily drink each other.
I mean, if drinking that means that you'd live another 30 years, wouldn't you?
@@JacobByus ....no.
Pazzie Anne Knexx I sure would
that's the joke, man
I... erm... *looks that all the rf in my likes* I admit I kinda find it... somehow satisfying in a way, the same way I find people in Jurassic park getting eaten is satisfying... and that the awoken Pmv is great asmr I conclude that I have no soul
10:40 im kinda concerned how that monstrosity fits in that tiny trash bag.
She just slice it to dust
You can praise it if it eats another sim??? Like "good job you just ate my husband" huh...
"good job you ate the spoiled brat that is my son"
That skeleton cowplant is actually very cool and creepy. Looks perfect for a gothic garden or such.
Update: As of a recent patch, Cowplants in Sims 4 can now be given names. Their name by default is "Little Simzee," a reference to Simtuber lilsimsie.
While I love the Sims 4 animations and such, I dunno. They're much less dangerous and much more high maintenance. I've yet to get any Sims eaten that weren't part of my household. And the mods that DO make them dangerous keep getting patched out. C'mon, just let us have fun with the adorable murderplant!
Ikr? I keep trying sims that don’t belong to my household to be eaten by the freaking cow plant but man it’s impossible, in addition it requires kinda lots of maintenance and the plant dies so quick. i tried downloading the mods u said they made them dangerous but yea, don’t work. I guess my fav version is the sims 3 one. It is the most dangerous one for me and that way the funniest
You could try leaving it outside your restaurants and just get someone to feed it so it doesn't die, but keep using it to feed on Sims. Someone else suggested it.
They should have a "Lure [sim's name] into getting eaten by cowplant" interaction for mean/evil sims
wHERE IS MY NEXT VICTIM?! I guess that a sim serial killer who exclusively kills using cow plants is pretty plausible..... this gives me several ideas.
Serial Murderer Challenge?
Honestly im gonna try creating little cells where ill trap sims with 2 hungry cowplants. Boy ain't this a great way to get rid of the last generation in your activa household >:)
also let's not forget that in Sims 2 frustrated sims will want to see the target of their anger as a ghost.
In the sims 4 you can find it in the seed packets for the higher levels.

Okay guys we need a plant that can eat others any ideas and remember this is sims make it... “realistic” How about a giant fly trap ...

That male Sim is really messed up, he drank his wife's dead body.
Gotta get rid of the evidence.

as somebodys whos never played the sims before and got this recommended i am confused and horrified
If you're horrified by cowplants, you'd have loved Sims 2 ... there was a barbecue you could cook babies on!
@@FerDeLance06 It's a mod 🙄🙄🙄
@@dundee6402 Did you ever use it? I tried it out of curiosity and damn, it worked! I remember the outrage over it and the complaints - some of them so heated, you'd think it was cooking real babies, not video game sprites. As I recall, Mod the Sims wouldn't carry it on their site, but they did feature it and gave you a link where you could go to download it. Now they should make a barbecue to cook Sims4 discs. :-D
@@FerDeLance06 No. No, you wouldn't think it was real babies, because that would've been front news world wide and the perpetrator(s) would've gotten the now-proverbial chair. If they were somewhere without death penalty, there would be renewed debate over it because of them. Many folk get understandably concerned over something like that. It's likely a gut reaction for most, but there's good reason to be upset. That shit seeps and ferments in a person's mind. "Stare into the darkness long enough and you'll find it staring back at you." Ever heard this quote? What do you reckon it's about? Dark shit gets to you even if you're a good person. Everyone has a dark side and we would do well not to feed it. Fact of the matter is if the mod was shocking and sensational because it's so dark, it would be boring and ignored. Likewise, you won't see someone acting abusive to a doll and ignore it, thinking "well, that's perfectly fine, it's just a doll." This becomes all the more relevant today with the advent of robot dolls, those pseudo-androids. How folk behave matters, even if it's not towards another person. /wall
The Cowplant burps out their grave. 😂 (Also where's it's stomach? The ground?)
Very likely
Probably in their udders XD
They die way too fast in sims 4, I went out to the park to get some fish and when I came back my plant was dead.
I feel u m8. After my first cowplant died I found a mod (in modthesims? most likely) that makes them live longer, there were several choices of lifespan and I think it also had an option to make them immortal. Mods are your best friends.
@@biblicallyaccuratecockroach oh thanks yeah mods are the best
in sims 4 you can hear the sims when they get eaten inside the cowplant
Sims 2 and 3 have nicer textures, but sims 4 has better functionality. Part of me wishes you could exploit a way for sims to get eaten in one try as the only good use is to create life essence.
I don’t find sims2 and 3 cow plant looking better. I don’t like their graphics.
@@cindycristobal8738 same, I find the simple cartoony graphics look sm more clean and well put together in the sims 4.
Yeah a new video !! The cowplant was really scary in the sims 2 despite having not many interactions but the sims 4 got it better, except the death.. There is no animation ! I hope Sims 4 will soon have witches so you can make a video of it ! I love when you do video about supernatural thing in the Sims !
I didn't read the "hope" part and got excited that witches would come lol, it seems like they're dropping a few packs before the summer so let's see what they've got
The Realm of Magic pack is coming in Autumn, so it seems that there will be witches 😁

@@XarenGP True.
and sims 4 game optimization, because It's so goood and not laggy like as in the sims 3, 2 and 1
@@art.strings Yeah.
sims 2 was the best for world customization plus the university was by far the best.
I don't know who came up with the cow plant in the first place. But I still think that is one of the very best items ever added to the Sims games. It is a shame there wasn't one in Sims 1.
Yeah, I thought I would find one there but I was surprised Sims 2 was the first game, I could've sworn there was one in Sims 1
Lmao, I remember playing this and having a cowplant. I pretty much had a family and the "dad" character didn't know about the cowplant yet, the cowplant was very hungry so the cowplant let its cake out, then the "dad" pretty much tried to grab the cake, After that, I was like: wtf where did dad go? did he leave for milk?
This is 3 years old but this is the most underrated comment here it deserves tons more likes than it has. Because he did in fact leave for milk
I like how one of the "work from home" possibilities for Sims 4 Seasons' Botanist career can be "Get Swallowed By A Cowplant." Since going into the scientific career branch of the Botanist career rather than the florist part gives you a Cow Berry as a career reward.
Yes. And a possible task is to drink the essence of another sim that you've milked from the cowplant.
Sims 4 is definitely the winner, in my opinion. I just wish there was an animation for when the cowplant dies.
It seems evertime I come back home I come back to a skeleton.
And idk why i think cowplants need a ghost. :I
The Sims 2 cracked me up, with the "Drank Anne" positive memory. 😂 But I would say, in that comparison, everyone kind of wins, since it's all so similar. And I didn't know you could place the Cowplant indoors and it gets it small pot back. That was one thing, I was kind of missing and I think my Sims now have a new guest at their dinner table. Hehehehe.
I love that the Cowplants make very tiger-like noises (especially the chuffs). I love them so much. Me and my friend (we use my friend's sims) got a Cowplant and wanted it to consume someone, so we made a new character to try it. The Cowplant kept spitting them out but eventually it ate them. Still love that Cowplant.
Even if my cowplant wasn't hungry, it ate me :( AND I LOST FREAKING 50.000 SIMOLEONS! COWPLANT BOB, WHY YOU ATE ME?!
Yea i have to watch my sims closely whenever i have a cowplant. They dont die the first time but im not trying to have them in a bad mood
the cowplant always scared me as a kid 😂
I had a cow plant in my sims and named is milk because I had to milk it all the time because so many random Sims came over! XD
I named mine veggie burger
Seems like your sims have become farmers haha
Gamer Galaxy Wolf I named mine Milky Way hehe
"Drank Anne" THAT IS SO CREEPY. I _LOVE_ IT.
I think the sims 4 cow plant is best but the design from sims 3 is better
In Sims 3 you can scold, praise, prank and if you have supernatural, you can use a elixir
@@erickarma8995 This is news. What does elixir do to it?

When you reach for the cake but get pulled in by a rake that's a Laganaphyllis Simnovorii!
Sims 4 is the best, for a specific value of "best" involving Sim-eating plant monsters. (I. . .may be biased as one ate a favorite Sim of mine before I could actually get into the lot to stop him grabbing the cake. Fortunately it was a first eating and thus he was fine -- after I loaded back into the lot to fix a bug with his needs post-nomming -- but it really soured me on the concept of cowplants as a whole.)
I like that, when the Cowplant eats someone, there is a rather... suspicious crunching sound. It's a nice touch!
I love love LOVE the S4 cowplants, they're absolutely adorable, I want one irl, and they can actually interact with you and you with them rather than the basic boredom they were in S2. I enjoy having to work to find them, makes them much more valuable than if they're just bought, and I actually like that they're not immortal, meaning we actually have to take care of them if we want them around, you can't just place and forget. The only thing that bothers me is just how vulnerable they are! They're plants (sort of), ffs! Even animals last longer than a day without food. Heck, trees can survive being mostly burned, and bloom the next year like nbd, as befits nature's baddest mf. When my cowplant died, I was devastated :( I worked so hard to get my girl, then she turns out so fragile T-T (the skeleton looks dope, tho). Bless modders for making my girls more resilient. Did I mention I love the cowplants? I love them so much.
It is a bit dumb tbh. One day from after its hungry and dead. Ik it’s animated and alive and probably wasting more energy than an irl plant but could at least have a few days to feed it.
I love all the mutant plants in The Sims. I'm more partial to the one in the home console version.
"Oh i'm just gonna put my sentient plant in a little green trash bag! I hope its in there with the soda can I threw away!"
yes my favorite youtuber uploaded! ❤️
In the Sims 4 if you want the cow plant without having to do any work you could just simply do: Shift Ctrl C to open the command bar. *Put in TestingCheats on* Type in Exactly: bb.showhiddenobjects (do it I live mode). Go into build mode and in the search bar type up Cow Plant it will both show you the seed and the berry Your welcome! ☺️😎👍
The Sims 4 is my favourite. CowPlant is so cute this version 😍
10:40 I'm still tryna figure out how she fit the cowplant in that small trash bag 💀💀💀
On of the biggest mysteries to this day
I'm still trying to figure how they carry cars and boats around in their pockets. LOL ... that's The Sims!
Wow, amazing comparison!
As I watched this, the cow plant got cuter. 😂
To easily get Cowplant for PC: 1. Press Shift+CTRL+C at the same time 2. Type: bb.showhiddenobjects 3. Go into building modeSearch ‘Cowplant Berry’. It costs 1K Of your in-game money.
Awesome video!!! I think the fourth one won! The way it eats sims is cool, the way it looks is cool, and the scull looks like a carnotaur scull. With the horns and dinosaur like mouth
I prefer the interactions/animations in The Sims 4 and the fact you get a skeleton when it dies, but I liked that the Sims 2 cowplant is actually pretty dangerous. Once my sims had a cowplant and the nannies kept getting eaten and my sims kept drinking the nannies. Also I liked that when a sim hated another sim in The Sims 2 they'd sometimes roll the want to drink that sim.
The cowplant in the sims 4 also dances if you put a stereo near it... Or at least it used to, its hard for it to happen in my game nowdays.
I've always been scared ti plant a cowplant. Cuz i knew garden care + cowplant= nom
Death by cow plant is technically death by the plants starvation, so it makes sense.
I think the reason it was "Starvation" for ghosts is because the cowplant was starving when it ate the Sim/Victim
You could run an essence shop by feeding people to your cowplant and making them happy beforehand And also, You could say that the Sims 4 *"takes the cake"*
Holy shit, that's an awesome idea! Oh wait, I mean evil idea. But still awesome!
The fact that in s4 you can hear the screams of the sim after being eaten…oh and that you can actually see them through the stem, it gives me chills that you can see the piece going through its…throat?
1:34 Aww the little baby Cowplant! 🐄🌱 I wish it were animated or made sounds too. Also in The Sim 3 you can see a Cowplant eating a florist if you switch the channel to "Got Garden?" on a TV.
OMG Is that the Sims version of Little Shop of Horrors!?
Sim : oh man finaly after hours of fishing i have catch the cowplant berry 😄😄😄😄😄 Player : ok and now.....EAT IT!!!!!!!!
Players: 🎶 SO JUST EAT IT 🎶 EAT IT 🎶 EAT IT 🎶 GET YOURSELF A PLATE AND EAT IT 🎶
i realy like that in the sims 2 the ghousts spend a lot of time with the cowplants
If you have the City Living expansion pack, you can harvest cowplant berries at either the romance or spice festival (I forget which).
Thanks for this video! I love cowplants! They're so awesome, I just wish they didn't die so easily in the Sims 4, that always makes me sad. Thanks again!
I imagine Cole from Ninjago would eat the cake. Edit: I’m not gonna lie, the Cowplant is kind of adorable.
In sims 2 and 3 it has a little cow-tail :3
The original devs created a lot of unerving stuffs. Aside of the cow plant, the death scream of burning sims in Sims 1 is the most realistic and not even a little comedy mix in it too.
I adore the play animation from sims 4. It straight up goes 'nom'. Adorable.
When the sims 3 cow plant died, my heart hurt
Gori VP how did you get it in the sims 3? do I need to install something or?
Marina Mihin so I dont have it but I think you have to get it on the sims store so basically the sims website. Buy it with simpoints and download it.
lol no, they deserve to die!
They'll also die if you keep them in your family inventory for a long time. When you take them back out, they're dead; so if you're carrying them around, remember to take them out and feed them regularly.
@@FerDeLance06 This was helpful! Ty!
I love how, in the sims 2, they care to make the cow`s cheeks more plump, because It make seem like the plant is really enjoy chewing the food. It seems much more appealing and realistic.
Sims 2 Cowplant, the ultimate murder weapon.
4:30 I would just add that The Cow plant elixir also affects children and unlike the normal life elixir, the cow plant elixir rejuvenates up to 5 days even if sim was at the beginning of life, but the bar's meter doesn't just move (I tried with a two days old child and sim didn't grow after only 3 days).
Great video as always! Vid suggestion tho: can you make a video about the sims' diversity through sims 1-4? i.e their race, culture etc., how it progressed from the first game until the recent? Thank you very much~
I think Sims 4 _takes the cake_ for best cowplants.
6:28 *YARRR YARRRRRR*
sims 2 attention to detail- having the ghosts taut the cowplant in death- And the premise of an evil sim luring in others so to get elixer of life,,; lovely
it was just is having a nice day doing it's idle animation and boom it's a flippin skeleton within seconds
Once I had a cow plant in the sims 4 and my sim was hungry so she took the cake of the cow plant and got spitted out again and she suffered.
What about toddlers
I love the cow plant 🐮 🌱
Right now in Sims 4 I have an alien family with a cow plant they treat as a pet XD it's like the perfect family dog for them lmao. I love it XD so cute, I just make sure to feed it unless a Sim pisses me off, haven't actually seen it eaten one of my Sims yet, maybe soon ;)
So this would be a good way to send sims off who have lika a day left and the cow plant was a beloved pet. Plus if another dim is on the verge of death they can drink the essence and get rejuvenated.
1:34 Aww so cute!
Alright ima say it since no one else will, the cow plant is cute FIGHT ME
