Your Sim will gain their first treat recipe - for Friendly Treats - after buying their first animal. Put simply, produce colour and flavour is determined by the animal's emotional state - and the best and most reliable way to influence this is by feeding them animal treats. For example, if you want a Matcha Tea Cake anytime soon, you'll need to know how to get green eggs. This is an especially big deal if you're doing the new Simple Living Lot Challenge, which disallows your Sim from cooking any recipes they don't have all the ingredients for. Some recipes or patterns call for very specific colours or flavours of this produce.

Eggs and milk can be used for cooking, while llama wool keeps your yarn costs down when cross-stitching or knitting. Your Sim will be able to harvest this produce at regular intervals (if you're caring for them well, around once per in-game day).

The three buyable farm animals introduced in Cottage Living each produce a different harvestable item: chickens make eggs, cows make milk, and llamas make wool.

How to change animal and produce colours in The Sims 4: Cottage Livingįarm animals aren't exactly cheap, but there are actual material benefits to owning them. The animal you just bought will be magically transported to their new home, and pretty soon they'll wander into the yard to say hello. Interacting with these objects will then give you the option to purchase cows or llamas (from the Animal Shed) or chickens (from the Chicken Coop). In order to populate your Sims' barnyard, you need to buy either an Animal Shed or a Chicken Coop, both of which can be purchased in Build Mode. While they're still independent creatures you can befriend, they're not counted as family members in the same way that house-pets are - which also means that you can't create and customise them in Create-A-Sim, or adopt them from animal care services. The new animals introduced in Cottage Living work a little differently to pets from the Cats & Dogs expansion pack.
