Horses in the sims 4
Hello, I was waiting for pets in the sims 4 for so long and I see, there will be just dogs and cats. Do you now something about horses? Are they planning to add them someday?

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.
Yes I agree with that they can add a New Map like they always Do when they make a Big expansion and Call the New Map Like a Farm Land or something where there are a lot of farm Animals Like Horse's , Goat's ,Cows , Llamas , chickens , and other farm animals. Where you can Farm Fresh food Kind Of Like with Gardening and you Farm from the Animals get Fresh Butter , Goat / Cow Milk. They can even put a New job in this farm Land Called "a Farmer" or something. I think that would Be really fun
- @Shadow0534 You can do this with Cottage Living and by using the Register with Ministry of Labour on the phone then setting the job title as Farmer. You can use the cows and chickens for fresh produce. I've also added bees from Seasons on some farms to make honey, along with the wider variety of farm crops that were added with cottage living. I've added ducks in the ponds too.
Most of my farmers use retail lots to sell produce. I have a garden centre and a small shop selling jams, preserves and honey. Some just sell direct from their inventories.
I wish we had horses as well and I've said before I don't see why we couldn't have had them in the same animal sheds as the cows and llamas, even if we couldn't ride them (for the reasons devs have already explained regarding the game engine). But you can still play as a farmer and while there are some gameplay bugs it's one of my favourite careers.
