Household residents won't approach the Cowplant

Okay, here's the deal: last night I was testing a new potential challenge of mine whereas I entered 8 characters from Pleasantview and would gradually remove all of their amenities until only one Sim remained alive (not allowing myself to direct their actions; they were on Free Will). The little buggers are stubborn, though, as by the sixth day they were all pretty much in the green, so I introduced a Cowplant into the household to see what would happen when I slowly removed their food sources. By the ninth day, only a townie (Ivy Copur) that had come home with one of the residents had been eaten. I had him milked and waited some more, but alas none of the residents would approach it, even if they were starving and couldn't get to the fridge to eat. I eventually had to install a pool with no ladder in order to kill
any
of them.
Has this always been so (the household not autonomously going for the cake)? If so, does anyone know of a hack that could enable them to go for the cake on their own without direction?

Do you have the darwincowplant hack installed? Your sims may be too smart to be eaten.

Residents are too clever to be eaten by their own cowplant; it has to be someone else's for them to autonomously grab for the cake hence a visitor being eaten.

Yeah, I was going to say playable, controllable sims cannot be eaten by the cowplant. Visiting playables can be, however. I have lost quite a few that way before the Darwin Cowplant hack was installed. I still get the occasional dumbass playable sim that grabs the cake though

Household sims can only be manually directed to take the cake (and get devoured) by the Cowplant, otherwise it's visitors only I'm afraid.

Does removing amenities mean you removed fire sources? Fire being, in my experience, the easiest way to kill a sim.

Yes, I removed the stoves, but I left them for last (hoping someone would set themselves on fire, but of course no one did, despite there being three fires in total that just destroyed shit). I guess fire, starvation and drowning are the only ways to have Sims autonomously kill themselves then, eh? Pooh. That's no fun at all. Heck, even if I could find a way to get them to try to repair an appliance on their own, that would be nice. Oh well.
Heh, the general idea of my challenge was to create a household and divide it in two so that only males could enter one side and females the other and see which side would do better/worse. Unfortunately, all the Maxis Sim males I chose to set up there turned out to be not very neat.
It was quite funny to see them all jump into the pool, one by one, despite the fact that that they could clearly see that the ones that went before them were complaining about having no ladder to get out of the pool with.
Sandy Bruty was hte eventual winner, but she missed a drowning death by mere seconds after Mortimer Goth finally succumbed to the pressure.

Running With Scissors Playset! They can do that autonomously and there's a chance of dropping dead too.

Didn't Maxis update that so that the chance of death is greatly reduced?

Sim do sometimes autonomously try and repair things on their own...I haven't had it happen very often very often though.

A very small kitchen in a crowded household is a great way to kill sims by fire. Once the fire starts, everyone rushes into the kitchen to stand there panicking, thus blocking the exits for anyone sensible enough to try to get out of there.

Yes I think they did, I'm not sure if mine is the older version or not. I seem to recall that someone posted the older version somewhere on the web. I haven't even used them in ages, I really should because it's quite comical watching them run like lunatics, they remind me of me

Sims will try to repair computers. I just had one fry himself today, and I know I didn't direct him to do anything with the computer, let alone try to repair it.

Occasionally, I've had Sims with high mechanical skill autonomously repair the computer, but nothing else. Today there was a Servo doing a walkby. The house was a mess and the parents were busy with several babies, so I invited him in hoping "do chores" would kick in and I would get a free house cleaning. To my surprise he fixed their computer too.

Ah, I forgot all about that. I'll try looking up the older version; thanks for the tip.
Mortimer Goth, Don Lothario and Benjamin Long all got sick during their sojourn, but alas, none of them became deathly ill. >=(
I think I'll still keep the cowplant around for the next round of Pleasantview character deaths. since there's a chance that another townie that follows someone home from work could get eaten and wind up scaring someone to death.

Yes, thank you for sending them to me. I quite appreciate it (by the way, I'm actually a she, but don't tell).

I would ask for the scissors, but I found out that the new smite option on the lot debugger is tremendous fun. May have made seasons worth it.
