Personally, I always go for the cow plant. Neat, quick, clean, efficient ..... well, perhaps not clean. And they're unequivocally dead - you can't get away from it, being digested is pretty final.

I downloaded it and tried to install it and it says there was an error in installation and I "may need to uninstall and reinstall OFB." Does anybody know if that means I need to uninstall everything or just the last expansion pack? I haven't noticed any problems with the game lately.

Well, I think if you have FF, you don't need to install the OFB patch, since FF would now be the latest ep you have, not OFB. >> Stay informed about: New Patches for OFB and Family Fun Stuff

Also, as a final bonus, I like the way the cow plant spits out the tombstone at the end. Spt--ough, NEXT!

Check the size of the file. I had to download the patch several times before it downloaded the whole thing. When I tried to install the patch it gave me that message if the file wasn't the right size and hadn't completely downloaded. >> Stay informed about: New Patches for OFB and Family Fun Stuff
