I got a cow flower yesterday. I told my sim to place in world and she walked into her house and seemed to place it on the coffee table but it disappeared. After reading this thread today, I went back into that household and deleted the coffee table. The cow flower was then in my sim's household inventory but the only thing I could do with it was sell it. I tried placing it so I could plant it but I couldn't. When I tried my cursor turned to a small white square with a red x. I sold it.

I tried to plant mine on a garden plot and it disappeared, then I deleted that plot and it moved it to the house inventory and I was able to sell it for 750!

Hello all. From time to time the animals give me this gift, see. picture. It's a cow flower. When I hover the mouse over it, the word appears to me: TUNING. I wanted to plant it, but every time I put it on the ground, it disappears. Can it be used differently? If not, it would be good to fix it so that the animals do not give such gifts to Sims. Thank you in advance for your reply.
As for the modes, I had a mistake even though I didn't use the modes.

I've encountered this in my modded main save so can't provide a save file for testing but I will say having the Nature Conversationalist (from completing Country Caretaker aspiration) will help reproducing this bug. Unless I'm completely mistaken it seems to not only give you two gifts from animals but more often more valuable gifts and the cow flower gift frequency appears to increase due to these reasons.
edit: oh and by the way the cowplant will still grow! I just dragged it out of my inventory on the ground where it "vanished" but the next day it had already sprouted. Maybe this animal gift should be changed to an actual cowplant berry because it's more useful and obviously doesn't look.. as beta as the textureless cowplant flower does.. :D

I also had this happen however I play on consol so I know it's not because of a mod but it's strange because I haven't heard if a cow flower so I searched it and found your page not sure what to so with the flower now but oh well does anyone know if this will get fixed

I have this one. The birds gave me that. And as you can see, it was translated also in Italian. I can add that I have a very friendly relationship with the birds and they help me with the garden.

I know this is an old post, but this happened to me. It failed to germinate, so it just disappeared. It’s nowhere in any inventory.!!
