Why has my animal shed dissapeared on harvest moon ds?

Question

I spent 10,890G on a shed only to find it gone 3 days later now I have a cow and sheep running around outside with no food!

Answer 1

I'm not totally sure but in HMDS, you had to choose which material to build the shed, didn't you? Unless I'm confusing it for something else, if you chose the cheapest material, it's very likely to fall apart.

Otherwise, HMDS is known for glitches.

(( i had it. i had a couple of the glitches happen and I had to restart. =/ ))

Answer 2

As Ta-Zu said if you use fodder (the cheapest) it can fall at any moment even in good weather. But if you had a storm it may have knocked down any material. So the best thing to do is grow grass for your animals to eat while you are raising the money again. If you leave them with fully grown grass they will eat that.

Good luck!

Answer 3

From your cost, I am assuming you bought the fodder barn.  Any building made out of fodder can spontaneously collapse any day at all, and will almost certainly collapse in a storm.  I wouldn't build ANY building you wanted to keep out of anything less than stone.  If you are really destitute, lumber will do in a pinch, but save every night and be prepared to reload if it collapses.

As for feeding your animals, if you have some grown grass ready, put your animals on the grass and fence them in.  As long as it doesn't rain, your animals will eat fully grown grass and be happy on their own.  The fence will keep them from the wild dogs that plague the farm at night.  You can use the time to rebuild your barn out of stone or lumber.
