Plus, swap out the lush green hills for sand dunes, and there's very little to separate it from Strangerville. More interactions with those similar packs would have been nice – why oh why can't llamas play with ponies? – since aside from riding horses, square-dancing, and making moonshine, there doesn't seem a whole lot else to do in Chestnut Ridge. Grumbles about the lack of paranormal ponies aside, there are some in-game functions and aesthetics I would have liked to see Horse Ranch evolving instead of recycling. Horse Ranch is shaping up to be a detailed, cozy, if slightly too-familiar Sims 4 expansion that will mostly appeal to the animal lovers out there. We'll also have unique trophies and medals that can be put on display, signposting milestones in your horse's skills journey or celebrating their successes at the horse show. Some wall decos will be exclusive to Horse Ranch, like the cowplant wall-mounted skull akin to a wild west bison skull.

Ceiling patterns are also on the way for all owners of the base game, as well as the free camera tool to let us properly view our ceilings and apply signs and decals to them. One of these is three sister chilli being added to our recipe books, incorporated by the devs as an homage to the Chestnut Ridge's Native American roots. There are a couple of base game changes arriving alongside The Sims 4: Horse Ranch. Horses also have unique tempers that you'll have to work with when training and handling them, making them the most comprehensively-detailed pet option in The Sims 4 so far.

Oh, and horses have their own toys to play with. I tried to find out if goats, horses, chickens, and other animals will have any unique interactions, but it seems that outside of acknowledging each other, there are no special pack-specific attributes to watch out for as you play. They function much in the same way as chickens and llamas in the Cottage Living expansion, as they don't count toward your household numbers and can be farmed for wool and milk daily. Horses also have unique tempers that you'll have to work with when training and handling them, making them the most comprehensively-detailed pet option in The Sims 4 so far.Īs well as horses, mini-goats are another new animal you can rear in Horse Ranch. Sims themselves will have new traits and aspirations of their own, including Rancher and Horse-Whisperer to help them build bonds with their stallion besties that much quicker.

Horses will also have their own set of skills to build up that can be shown off at the county show, as well as 11 personality traits to select or acquire over time.
