GOAL: Keep ONE Cowplant alive for 2 full sim weeks.
Did you do it? Cowplant still alive? Is your sim still alive? Great! Congratulations!!!
You won the challenge!
Alright, alright, if you've played any of my other challenges then you know this can't possibly be all that there is to this challenge.
Well....it kinda is.
Despite completing my own, more difficult challenges, I could not for the life of me keep one, just ONE, of these stupid cowplants alive for more than 2 sim weeks. Most of my attempts died in the first week. So I challenged myself to keep one alive for 2 sim weeks. I'm not gonna lie, it took 4 attempts to achieve that goal LOL.
So, if you're anything like me, then the above challenge is a challenge for you, and if you succeed in completing it then you can proudly tell the world that you completed one of my challenges :-)
But, if you're also anything like me...
Then you will challenge yourself further and say you have to keep one cowplant alive for one full sim year.
Once you succeed, you will challenge yourself again, to keep TWO cowplants alive for one full sim year.
Once you succeed, you will challenge yourself again, this time to keep THREE, then 5, then 10, then 20...
You will keep challenging yourself until you reach 200 Cowplants, kept alive for one full LONG LIFE sim year!
Just kidding, I only made it to 40 LOL! Can you make it to 40?
But, if you're also, also anything like me...
You will make this task even more challenging with RULES!
-
Try to meet, or beat my record of 40 for one full sim year set on LONG lifespan.
-
You can cheat to get seeds. This challenge is about growing plants, not the hassle of acquiring the seeds.
-
All seeds must be planted at the same time, one right after the other.
-
Give each one a name, different from the others. And make it an actual name, not just cow 1, cow 2, etc.
-
You can set the season length to whatever you want.
-
You may use a money cheat in the beginning to get a large plot and decorate your home as you wish. Once finished, give yourself $10,000 to start with.
-
Must have a job, no (more) money cheats, but job can be freelance/work from home.
-
Must live alone. No roommates either. You are responsible for bills.
-
Can make a greenhouse to keep them safe in winter months.
-
NO plant cheats or mods, like an automatic sprinkler system, gardener etc.
-
Cannot use Patchy to help you.
-
Cannot make a club of gardeners to help you.
-
You are the ONLY person allowed to care for them!
-
Can feed them other sims if you want, and milk them too.
-
If you get eaten, and die, challenge is over.
-
If one cow plant dies (becomes a skeleton) the challenge is over. Count up how many you made it to, including the one that died, that is your record number.
-
If any die before one sim year is up, challenge is over.
Have Fun!
Did you meet my record?
Did you beat it?
Congratulations!!!

In my quest to find a background for this page, I found these two artists and wanted to share their awesomeness.
On the left here is a crotcheted cowplant created by Sadako Sekigawa. Look at that thing! It's the most adorable, evil, little cowplant ever! Well done!
On the right here is a sculpture of the cowplant made by Lady Joyceley. The entire process from start to finish is documented so you can see the progression of this beautiful, amazing creation. Well done!
