The Laganaphyllis Simnovorii(Cow Plant)

(Click images to enlarge)

Description

This bizarre bovine vegetation is large enough to swallow your next door neighbour whole. In fact, it WILL eat your neighbours. Your friends will be hard pressed to resist the tantalizing vine cake of the carnivorous Laganaphyllis Simnovorii. After it has consumed some prey, milk it for sweet, rejuvenating nectar of life. A swig of this liquid refreshment will add precious days to a sim's life and wash away any regret they may have had over their neighbour's fate.

Additional Notes

The Natural Scientist career is only available to university graduates, so your sim would need to go to college to achieve the Laganaphyllis Simnovorii. The 'Cow Plant' needs feeding every 12 hours and can be fed by any sim from child upwards, costing $35 per feed. Feed it regularly and it will be a harmless piece of decoration. If you fail to feed it every 12 hours however, it can become a very dangerous animal..erm plant (or very useful if you choose to see it that way).

When hungry, the Simnovorii extends a very tantalizing piece of cake to lure unsuspecting guests into range of it's maw. Your household sims will remain unaffected by the lure of the cake tongue although you still have the option to direct them to the grab the cake if you wish to. Once your guest is within range and tries to take the cake, he/she will be swallowed whole by the plant, after which it regurgitates a headstone to remind you.

After your plant has fed on a sim, the udders under it's chin will become enlarged as they become filled with the essence of sim; essentially the elixir of life. Your sims can milk this elixir to receive five days extra to their lifespan. If you don't milk the plant the udders remain filled with the elixir and will not need feeding until it has been milked. Also note that as this is a career reward, it is not affected by the gold aspiration requirements that the Elixir of Life aspiration reward is. Keeping the udders full is a good way of keeping it dormant without feeding, as well as having a supply of elixir on hand ready to be milked by a child or older. You can also keep it surrounded by a fence or wall in order to prevent your guests getting to the lure should it be extended.
