OMFG! I hate that stupid, silly s.o.b. soooooo much. Near mealtime, he/she sets off the sprinklers. Want to study? Oh, no, the mascot's annoying antics kill that.

Not a bad idea in and of itself, but sheesh! Does it have to show up every 45 seconds?

I finally got to the point of using the "death by flies" cheat on the miserable turd every time it appeared.

I mostly ignore them. Sometimes, though, I'll have a Sim date them (and find out how they look underneath). Sometimes, they're rather pleasant but mostly horrible!

IMO, cow mascots are of the devil. Before I had the cow mascot trophy head, I killed one with Rodney's Death Creator because it was ****ing me off.

So sentry bots may be of some help...? Well, Malcolm Landgraab's son is a teen, and maybe Malcolm Landgraab V might like a sentry bot as a going-to-college gift....

Reviving the thread....

I found something fun to do with cow mascots. Lock them in the bathroom. There's this one dorm at Le Tour that has the two single bathrooms downstairs. If the cow mascot goes in one of them, I click on Lock for All Sims.

I also like to Influence them to bathe...then lock them in the shower. I don't keep them there long, though. But it's pretty funny!

I make them clean, garden, cook, do assignments, write term papers. . .I especially like making them clean up the mess they made from pranking the sprinkler. Serves them right.

I like making them clean up too...unless I have a very Neat Sim. Provides them with Fun and gives them Cleaning skill points.

I usually make them garden.
