Sims 4: Cottage Living DLC introduces new animals to the game including cows, chickens, and llamas. These animals can be fed treats to make them happier and can even change their appearance. Treats can be purchased from the Crumplebottom stall in the Finchwick district of Henford-on-Bagley, received as a reward for winning a Finchwick Fair competition, or received as a gift from wild animals.
Once a Sim feeds a treat to an animal for the first time, the Sim will learn the recipe to craft that treat. Animal treats can be crafted by interacting with the refrigerator and selecting "Create Animal Treats", then selecting which one you would like to make.
