I was planning to kill of all townies but I can�t get it to eat any?

Then, it'll bring out a piece of cake stuck to the tip of its tongue. Any non-controllable sims whom you greet, will automatically go for the cake - and then, I'm sure you can imagine what happens next XD

By "non-controllable sims" you mean townies only or any Sim walking through the lot? I'd love to set a cowplant in front of one of my Sims houses, but I'm afraid it will eat a playable Sim from other lot.

AFAIK, it will attempt to eat any sims not under your control in the current household, so it may very well go after playables from a different family. If you have Open for Business, you can put it in a lockable gate or you get get a hack called darwincowplant from MATY which means only sims with a low logic skill will attempt to eat the Cowplant's cake -- gives a bit of an incentive to give sims some skills in my mind :P

(Low hygeine will cause it to sniff the sim and reject them.) So yes, it could eat one of your sims from another lot. (If you don't have OFB, you can still put a fence with a gate. Just add an extra section of fence where the gate usually stays. Put the gate onto the main section of the fence when a townie you want eaten is nearby or when your sim is going in to milk it. Then move it back to the side section afterward.)

You have to get to the top of the career for "Natural Science" I believe before you can get it. Or you can download a hack I think there's one over at MTS2 so you can get one anytime you want/need to.

Personally, I recommend putting a cowplant only on a University lot, and sending all your playable sims to only one dorm or residence. That way, the cowplant will only eat NPC's (afaik). Tip: If you have all seven skills maxed' and 13 or so friends, you can use the computer to Find a Job. Once you sign up, check your Career Rewards section if you received a career reward just for accepting the job! I think happens better when you accept a job in the middle of a workday.
