Farm Animal Costumes!
If you have ever looked at a massive Bison and thought, "That creature would look perfect with udders," then the Farm Animal Costumes! add-on for ARK: Survival Ascended is exactly what your survival sandbox has been missing. This lighthearted cosmetic mod swaps the rugged, primal look of your tames for classic barnyard charm, letting you turn your herd into a walking, stomping petting zoo. It is pure, wholesome fun that fits seamlessly into the game's existing systems.
Transform Your Tames into Barnyard Favorites
This mod focuses on two of the most recognizable creatures on the ARK. You can dress up your Bison in a classic Cow Costume or a sturdy Bull Costume, giving your heavy hitters a surprisingly gentle aesthetic. Meanwhile, your tiny, chaotic Dodos can finally embrace their true destiny as Chickens, flapping around your base with feathery flair. It is the perfect way to add personality to your herds without altering the core survival experience.
Current Costume Lineup
- Cow Costume for Bison: A spotted, gentle-giant look for your grazing companions.
- Bull Costume for Bison: A sturdy, robust outfit for the leaders of your pack.
- Chicken Costume for Dodo: The ultimate comedic upgrade for the ARK's most useless (and lovable) bird.
Purely Cosmetic, Fully Customizable
The best part about Farm Animal Costumes! for ARK: Survival Ascended is that it is strictly cosmetic. There are no stat boosts, no hidden armor values, and no gameplay changes. It is purely visual, meaning you can outfit your entire base without worrying about balance. This makes it a fantastic addition to themed servers, roleplay communities, or just for players who want a more relaxed, comedic vibe in their survival world.
Every costume in the pack is fully dyeable using the standard dye mechanics already in the game. This means you can create a pink cow, a neon green chicken, or a purple bull to match your base's color scheme. To apply a costume, simply drag the skin into the costume slot of its compatible creature. To customize it further, drag dyes onto the costume from inside the Dino's inventory. It is an intuitive system that works flawlessly with the vanilla UI.
