Do you have any issues with the chicken coop ?I have plans to make some minor update to it - 1. Add the animated chicken vfx2. Optimising/streamlining the code3. One sim can tend to more than one coop4. Day and Night cycle ?I dont think I can reliably make free range chicken...the chicken will move around within an area and all feeding and egg collecting will still be from the coop as it will be the most convenient way.Anything else you can suggest ? ( I will do it if its feasible)Edit : I will upload the testing version in a day or two with changes and minor new stuffThanks guys for all the feedback!Download Chicken Coop Version 2

I love the coop! I'd like to see some baby chickens, possibly lol. Perhaps they can be incorporated in some way.

Sky Quill

When I play, there's a certain time when "Set up coop" comes up along with the rest of the interactions, and the first few times this happened, after a certain amount of time, I got "Set up coop" twice and "View", after setting up coop for $15, I get "Buy chicken" twice and after that, no interaction besides "View" and "Put in inventory" until I come back to the household, not necessarily by restarting the game, but just leaving to another lot and coming back. Other than that, the disease is really annoying but, like, I love it, and I've never gotten salmonella from it. Also, you are amazing, I have so much admiration for you, please keep making Sims stuffs, you're the best, thank you so much.

icemunmun

The set up coop is part of the code I want to optimize! Hopefully after that these random glitches wont occur. Since it is sim buff based anything which refreshed or removed or reset biffs on sims ( in the background even) will affect the interactions. I am going to use a better method. Diseases - Do you want the flu to occur at a lesser frequency ? Do you want your sim to get simonella ? Fot that you have to eat a few bad eggs XD.

icemunmun

I have a play with chick interaction. I will see if i can find some other way too. Maybe have a more robust birth-death cycle with occ chicks being born 🤔

phantomness

I notice that if I don't feed the chickens for 16 hours or so, then I have to set up the coop again. I realize that this may be because I have to remember to feed my chickens regularly but my sims have a busy schedule and it does add up.

icemunmun

Oh I think the chicken dies/vanishes but I will change the frequency of required feeds

Sky Quill

I think I would like the flu to occur at a lesser frequency, but I'm honestly fine if that's something you decide not to change. And I didn't know about the eggs! I don't think I can consciously get my sims to eat bad eggs lol the biggest issue for me is not being able to do anything with the coop after buying a chicken for the second time unless I reenter the house.

icemunmun

I will reduce the flu frequency! I think somehow the buff is being reset/removed ( can be the game or another mod which deals with buffs) hence you cant find the option without reloading the lot. I will optimise it!

Sky Quill

Thank you for your dedication to this god-forsaken game, your mods truly make it playable. I don't know if this is the place to say it but my cumin disappears when I place it on the ground after getting it from buy mode and for some reason, the name of the blueberry doesn't appear or appears as "*DEBUG*".

icemunmun

Thank you..I try to make stuff which will make the game enjoyable for me...without mods I sometimes struggle to enjoy it tbh Get the fixed cumin and blueberry from here - https://www.patreon.com/posts/45909322 I will update the main download posts and the all in one folder soon.

So far, I have not experienced anything bad or negative with your chicken coop. What I feel it's missing though is some animation coming from the chicks and the chickens. So, I think that for now, the updates you mentioned are more than great already. As for the access to the coop - one person at a time was not really good for me. I have also been wanting to have a chicken or two walking around or moving around a bit (like the dairy cows) and maybe, we could feed them by throwing feeds at them like on a real farm. I figured that you would be the best creator for something like that.

icemunmun

I will add some moving chicken in front of the coop! I will try and add a feeding option to the moving chicken. you click on the coop and the sim comes and pours yhe feed on the ground where the chicken are moving around

YannieSissy

This sounds awesome 😎

Lina Armstrong

I use Bakie animated chickens in front of my 3 coops. It works great!!! And I have about 15 chickens roaming. With the new Cows I cant get enough of playing my farmer Sim. I also use the canning station as well. I now sell eggs milk and jams and spreads. Also use bee box to sell and collect honey and grow veggies and fruits. Its crazy how the Cows made such a huge difference in my game play. I cant get enough of my farm that I have on a 50x50 lot!!! By the way its never bothered me the one Sim per coop. My farmer Sim gets all the eggs each day so I never really noticed it to be an issue.

Lina Armstrong

I just noticed this wording: "3. One sim can tend to more than one coop." I have 3 coops and I only have one Sim that tends to the 3 coops. She can click on each one and get all the interactions. She collects eggs from all 3. Is this not the norm for the coop?

icemunmun

One sim couldnt immediately go and tend to another coop. They could tend after some time!

Jody G

I don't have any issue with it at but it would definitely be helpful if one coop could be for the whole household rather than them all having to set it up individually. I also never use the Easter Eggs option so could do without it but just speaking for myself :)

ILONA EDENS

A day and night cycle would be awesome, maybe a run included with the coop? and an animation seeing a chicken roost?

SpoiledPrincess

I noticed after awhile, I have to keep setting up the coop even though I feed them and interact. I also can't put the carton of eggs into the fridge. I don't know if we're able to have multiple coops, but I tried that and if I, for instance, feed one coop, the option to feed the other ones doesn't pop up. Hope this input helps.

PanicDracoFelidae

That sounds rally fun, thought I have similar issues where different characters have to set up the same coop, and sometimes my sims just decide to place dirty dishes inside the coop.

Simlanii

I noticed that the golden eggs, when you open the egg carton, goes into the household inventory instead of the sims inventory. I remember a while ago they went into the sims inventory.

Sky Quill

Thank you so much!

Luckybee Sims4

I love building farms so for me anything would make me happy though... somehow, i rarely get eggs, even though i feed them regularly ;( No idea why

Mendota Kelly

I love the chicken coop and I have no issues. As for free roaming chickens, Bakie over at MTS has made some from cloning the birds. They are perfect to go with your coop.

Em Leigh

In one of my games my chicken coop has the smelly green whisp stuff over my chicken coop. Not sure if thats intentional or not, but thought I'd mention it in case it was a bug, as my sims can't seem to be able to clean it or do anythin go make it go away. But like I said, that may be intentional and I've just missed in the description that it's meant to do that! Also, question, what does a sim do with the eggs once they're in their inventory? I can't seem to do anything with them other than "place in world" and they also can't be put in the fridge. Are they just in your sim inventory for when they cook and egg dish? Thanks! :)

Lina Armstrong

Gotcha I just love all your mods!! Can't play without them.

ThatOneFiend

I was going to suggest Bakie too.

icemunmun

Yep! Those chickens are perfect for the coop! I will be using the same vfx ( comes from island living but is base game) he uses and we discussed how his mod can be used to create a wide range for the coop. The effect i will add will have chickens only close to the coop but if you use his chicken it will cover a wide range. in my game I use 2-3 of the objects to have quite a population of chickens over a wide range.

icemunmun

I am updating it sdo that the whole family can use it together instead of one by one!

icemunmun

I will look into whether a rosster animation is doable but I really want to add a night and day cycle if its feasible. The feeding and gg collecting wont be possible at night when the chickens are sleeping!

2026-09-08 03:00 I’ve been getting BEs since the latest patch update. Never had any problems before that. Still interacting & collecting eggs ok though.

icemunmun

I am fixing the LEs on eating eggs

icemunmun

That is one of the things I am changing. One sim will be able to interact with multiple coops

icemunmun

Oh i will see what changed with the latest patches

icemunmun

I am making a better method of egg generation

phantomness

Actually, there is one odd glitch I have noticed. If I go and interact with a cow between interacting with a chicken coop (feeding a chicken and collecting eggs), I have to re set up the chicken coop. This is very frustrating and has happened multiple times.

icemunmun

Oh thats really odd. But i am changing the system and hopefully this wont occur

Scorpio Maurus

I haven't noticed any problems with it, though I have yet to use it with the latest patch. I would love to see them animated :) but I wouldn't worry much about making chickens that actually run around loose as you could always suggest people get Bakie's animated chickens (on Mod the Sims). I use them all around your coop and they look great together. https://modthesims.info/d/630051/animated-placeable-birds-chickens.html

icemunmun

Yes Bakie helped me to add to add the chickens vfx code...i use Bakie's chickens all the time too amd ask people to ise it!. For starters I am optimizing the code so that there is np restriction on using the coop from sim to sim + timed collection and feeding But.....a fully animated version is in the works 😁

Paige Chandler

Little late seeing this post, but as another person mentioned, I have a similar issue with collecting golden eggs. Unlike the other player, mine don't even show up in the family inventory all the time, though. Otherwise, thank you for your amazing mods-I can honestly say I probably wouldn't play this game without your mods seeing as how the farming and related content have always been my favorite features. So thank you!

Lisa K Baldwin

Very true .. but any and all chickens are cute so as you wish MUNMUN

2026-09-08 03:00 I would love the ability to have more than one coop. They link together at the moment. And for the eggs not to disappear if I'm gone too long/not watching closely
2021-03-11 20:02

icemunmun

The update will let you have non linked coops!

Jody G

Someone else mentioned above that their sims have been putting dirty dishes inside the coop so maybe that's an issue you're having too with the green whisp!

Mere

I just want to say your mods are amazing. I've played with the chicken coop for a while now, and I've never had any issues. I'm wondering if it is feasible to add harvesting the chickens for meat though? Not nearly as often as the eggs of course but it could be nice to have a meat source from the farm especially if it was compatible with SCCO.

icemunmun

Meat source will be added to the animated version I am working on in collab with Pandasama, Mizore Yukii and Pancake!

Anna Garcia

Mine will only allow 1 sim to manage the coop. It also doesn't even produce eggs

icemunmun

I am going to make it multi use. There is a window for collecting eggs after egg generation hence timely collection os required. But I am changing that too! No timed collection. I have added a tentative day - night cycle where you can feed and collect from 4 AM to 6 PM and the chicken will hibernate/sleep at night

Anonymous

Just a heads up- Did a scan for broken MODS today and it says the chicken coop/no disease. It's the buff when the sims eats the egg that seems to be broken :) thought you would like to know. Love all your stuff <3

Laura Martinez Barca

no puedo abrir la caja de huevos alguna idea?? amo sus modificaciones
