Horses in the sims 4

One of the reasons I've seen for not adding horses is the lack of an open world to give the space for riding a horse. It's one of the same reasons I've seen for not adding cars. But in answer to that, it didn't stop them adding bikes.

I've said this before when discussing ways to make adding horses simple and achievable. I don't see why they couldn't be added the same way llamas have been added. It would have been much more realistic for CoL. Fair enough we'd want to ride the horses and couldn't, but I'd compromise on just having them added with an animal shed in the design of a stable. It seems so obvious to me as a solution. I think they've missed a trick. Even if we couldn't ride them we could still groom and interact with them and create equestrian builds. Adding them this way removes some of those barriers I keep hearing about. It's not a perfect solution but it's an acceptable compromise in my opinion and something I'd settle for happily. Or add the option to ride them and use a wormhole or take us to a different screen where we see the horse running round completing a course and then when it's done, return us to our home lot.

They were added to Sims Freeplay quite simply so when Sims 4 is kind of the flagship Sims project it still baffles me that we don't have them. Surely it was a lot more complex adding werewolves and gift giving bunnies.
