[Pets] Bloom's Apple Barrels: Let your Horses Feast on Apples! (Updated to V2) by Nona Mena
The long and lazy days of summer are upon us, and what better way to treat your special Horse than with an entire barrel full of delicious, crisp apples? Introducing two new functional (scripted) objects for your horses and equestrian sims: Bloom's Apple Barrel and the Bloomin' Bottomless Barrel o' Apples.
This mod is compatible with patches 1.66 - 1.67.
18 July 2012 Update
- Both Apple Barrels have been updated to fix the sound when horses are eating the apples. Instead of hearing drinking noises, you will now hear crunching noises when the horse eats.
- The Fill Animation for Bloom's Apple Barrel has been fixed, so that all users can see the animation whether they have installed WA or not. There is no noise associated with this animation.
Requirements:
- These scripted objects require the Sims 3 Pets Expansion Pack.
- These scripted objects were built with patch 1.33, and will work with all 1.3x patch levels. I cannot guarantee they will work with any other patch level.
Conflicts:
These are scripted objects and have little to no chance of possible conflict with any tuning, script or core mod. They do not conflict with each other, so you may use them both in your game at the same time.
Bloom's Apple Barrel
- Found in Buy Mode under Sort by Function: Pet Essentials/Horses

- When purchased, comes with 25 uses. Refills cost 50§.

- Provides Mmm.... Apples!! moodlet and replenishes the hunger motive
- 3 presets and 4 re-colorable channels
Bloomin' Bottomless Barrel o' Apples
- Found in Buy Mode under Sort by Function: Pet Essentials/Horses
- Costs: 1107§
- Polygons: 3948
- Apples never deplete and the barrel remains full forever.
- Provides Mmm.... Apples!! moodlet and replenishes the hunger motive
- 2 presets and 3 re-colorable channels
Known Issues:
- Animations might be off at the beginning of the interaction, when the horse starts eating the apples. This is a problem with EA's animations, not the object or my coding. This happens on EA's Water Troughs as well.
- Bloom's Apple Barrel does not become totally empty-looking when empty. This is due to a problem with joints and making sure the horse's head is close enough to the apples when eating.
When the horse is eating, or when Bloom's Apple Barrel is being re-filled, you might hear water sound effects Fixed in V2
Additional Credits:
These Apple Barrels were created by Bloom of simlogical and Bloom's Base. These scripted objects would not be possible without his hard work, effort, and cooperation. Thank you, Bloom!
Many thanks to cmo, who helped with the JAZZ when my horse didn't like to stop eating the apples.
Further thanks go to Inge, Peter, a, and Misu, without which my various problems could not have been fixed. Also, much thanks to Bob, OM, Ghost and everyone else in the simlogical chat for the encouragement, patience and enthusiasm.
