I also bought Horse Ranch not too long ago on sale, so I'll add my feedback to this thread as well. Overall, I genuinely like the pack & what it offers - the horses, the mini goats & sheep, the world, & the Build/Buy. However, for an EP, the pack does feel a bit lacking. I am disappointed that:
- The household limit was not expanded;
- Genetics for foals appears to be limited to a copy of one parent;
- There are no unicorns, only a wearable horn;
- You can't breed the mini goats or sheep and there is no "kid" or "lamb" life stage for them;
- There is no golden mini sheep or "golden fleece;"
- There is no special nectar for mermaids or aliens;
- There is no mechanical nectar press option;
- There are no nectar skill books;
- Ranch Hand is not a playable career & the Community Board jobs are just rabbit holes;
- You need Cottage Living to harvest milk from the goats & wool from the sheep;
- The treats from Cottage Living can't be fed to the new animals;
- The vet career from Cats & Dogs was not expanded to include the new animals;
- Horseback riding & nectar making can't be chosen as a club activity;
- There is no nectar making club perk.
I also wish that the pack included a few more things like:
- A mechanical bull;
- Gambling (even if it's just a re-skin of Sabacc);
- Pool tables;
- More items/activities for kids, such as a rocking horse, a stick horse, or the ability to play "cops & robbers" or tag;
- A new craft skill such as weaving, basket weaving and/or pottery;
- More harvestables such as oranges, wheat, or corn;
- Additional animals like pigs or turkeys;
- A functional tractor (even if it could only be partially functional).
