A barn is a practical structure and you should follow these simple steps to build one. You should make sure the doors will open in both directions and that you can move animals and equipment freely within it. Remember that the barn should be functional and not overly decorated to be visually appealing. You can add more features later, as necessary. You can also add a second set of doors for additional access. In this article, we will discuss all of the necessary steps to build a barn in Sims 3.

Building a concrete floor

A concrete floor will make the structure much stronger and easier to clean. While wood floors may look good, they can be uncomfortable for animals because they’re hard on their hooves. Instead of concrete, consider rubber pavers for the center aisle and livestock stalls. In addition to gravel, you can use clay for bedding. This way, you’ll be able to give your Sims plenty of options for flooring.

Converting a garage to a stable

In The Sims 3 you can turn any garage into a stable by converting it to a horse stable. Depending on what type of garage you have, this conversion will take more time than converting a standard garage. Wooden garages require less work to convert than those made of concrete. If you are planning to convert a garage into a stable, here are some tips.

You can use the support beams of the garage to build stalls. Depending on how many animals you plan on housing, full walls may not be necessary. Instead, you can use two-by-four or two-by-6 wooden boards to construct simple walls. The height of the walls should be four feet. You should avoid creating gaps between boards if you plan on keeping animals with aggressive temperaments.

Adding a second set of doors

Adding a second set of doors to your barn is quite easy, but you need to know how to do it properly. The basic steps are outlined below. Afterwards, you need to build the second set of doors. To do this, open up the barn’s first set of doors. You can interact with the animals inside. But, before you can do that, you need to make sure that the animals will be in the barn.

Buying a cow

In Sims 3, buying a cow is a fun way to start a farm. Cows can be milked by your Sims at any age and the flavor of their milk is affected by Animal Treats. Rarer milk flavors will help you rank higher at the Finchwick Fair. You can only milk the same Cow twice a day, and if your Sim has a poor relationship with her, she may lose interest in milking you.

To raise more animals, consider upgrading your barn. You can buy a deluxe barn by upgrading your regular barn. These barns can raise more animals, including pigs and sheep. You can sell their wool for gold, and the sheep can also produce truffles, which can be sold for a lot of gold. The deluxe barn can also hold up to 12 animals and even have auto-feeders, making it easy to feed them.
