EXACTLY!!! Adding a "me too" and "XP" to boost this thread.
They should include Jumping courses. It would also be cool to see the horses *in* competition forjumping, barrels, and behavior. Or maybe someone could make a mod for it? Because there is so much room for improvement. I would love to see more english saddle-related stuff. Dressage!? Theres so much potential!
That said, the way that horses' need-fulfillment works could be better. Its so finicky and difficult to get high quality manure. Also, the ranch hands get down right annoying. My Sim gardens, and I have to assign the ranch hand not to garden EVERY DAY, because the game doesn't remember my selection. Also, there's some kind of weird glitch where the ranch hands won't stop going into my fridge to bake a cake, then leaving the ingredients out unfinished...multiple times. This expansion pack is just very poorly made.
@tha-bunbun you can try locking your kitchen doors to stop the Ranch Hand going inside to bake cakes and also fence off areas and lock gates to everyone but your Sim.
I agree it's a shame you can't see the horses in competition but there's a guide here to get the best out of the existing competition gameplay.
