‌

After playing the new pack for about an hour, I noticed my llama and cow hadn't left their shed for about 20 minutes after I got a notification saying my llama was going to leave from being unhappy. No matter how many times I restart the game, they won't come out of their sheds naturally. When I call them out, they are starving, unhappy, and dirty even though their shed has stayed full on foor and clean.

Cows and Llamas come out of their sheds autonomously and no longer are unhappy when their shed is clean and full with feed.

Fixed in Patch 1.99.264/1.78

please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,

I watched a Let’s play from JamesTurnerYT on YouTube and he was having the exact issue you are having with the animals not coming out of the shed. So you aren’t the only one having this issue.

I have the same issue... but looking at the thermometer it's always when it is a cold day that this happens, so I thought it was because of that.

Thought we already have a thread for this but I can't find it atm.

Might need to merge later.

I'm not entirely sure what is going on but I've had my cow for a while in game and this up until recently has not been an issue. But now,  my cow won't wake up,  won't eat,  and won't come out unless I call her out. When she comes out, she will be filthy & starving.  I have to feed her by hand and wash her.  She will not eat while in the she even though it is full of feed.

@thelegendofsmol I merged your post with the main thread on this.

Could you send your save to SimGuruNick as asked above.

Thanks

Yep and now my chickens won’t grow up and most of my vegetables and fruits went back to being sprouts and won’t grow any bigger so they can produce crops.

@crinrict My chicken is frozen after reset nothing happens

I had just recently discovered this bug in my game on Windows 10. A family who has a cow for quite a while, having the same issue now. Cow won’t come out unless it’s called out, and then looks dirty and starving, mainly the same issue as you have. Not sure when it started because I haven’t played with this family since December 21.

ETA: Since the game patch 1.85 the cow is coming out again by itself.
