They can be milked and sheared, respectively, and even provide wool and milk if players have the Cottage Living expansion pack as well.Īll of the tasks needed to run a ranch in this expansion pack certainly seem like they can add up quickly which is why it was nice to see that you’ll be able to hire a ranch hand. Miniature goats and sheep will also help to fill out your ranch. You might even be able to learn some secret nectar recipes from other Sims found in Chestnut Ridge. In Horse RanchSims will be able to grow ingredients that they can use to make nectar - either to enjoy all for themselves or to turn a profit. Nectar, for those of you who might not have encountered it before, is the equivalent of wine in The Sims. New traits and aspirations exist for Sims, including Horse Whisperer and Championship Rider, and Expert Nectar Maker respectively. Alongside all of the new horse-related additions, there’s also quite a bit to dig into when it comes to ranch life as well. Horse Ranch looks to bring a lot to the table, both in the big and little details. And while we didn’t get a chance to see details of the competitions, players can expect to receive rewards for winning competitions including Simoleons (the in-game currency) and decorative plaques. There are five different competitions to compete in: Barrel Racing, Show Jumping, Endurance Racing, Western Pleasure, and the Ultimate Horse Championship. Most of the competitions are Western-style, though you will find a few nods to English-style riding in the expansion pack as well. All of these skills will contribute to how well a horse does when it competes in one of several equestrian competitions players will find at the equestrian center. Horses have four different skills that can be developed too: Agility, Jumping, Endurance, and Temperament. Breeding horses will reveal some special traits that you can only see in a foal or horse that has been bred. Players can purchase, rescue, and breed horses. And just like with Sims, cats, and dogs, horses also have unique traits that can be chosen like Brave, Defiant, Fearful, and Mellow.Ĭreating horses isn’t the only way to get your new four-legged friend either. They’re fully customizable within Create-A-Sim, where you can choose from over 30 real-world horse breeds, like the Fresian, or you can play around with all of the details like coat color, body mass, and mane and tails to create your own custom horse. Horses, just like cats and dogs before them, are considered household members, so they will take up one of the eight household slots that are available in each Sim house (there are currently no plans to expand the number of household members in The Sims 4). The real stars of Horse Ranch are, of course, the horses themselves.
