Sims 4 EP Suggestion: Horses
Dear [team responsible for S4 Expansion Packs], I won't beat around the bush explaining just how much I loved having horses in the Sims 3 Pets EP, so I'll just get to it: Please consider adding ...

If focused solely on horses, it sounds like it would be best as a game pack rather than an expansion - like how Vampires is a game pack. It could come with a small world with lots suitable for making horse ranches, training grounds and focus all on various things dealing with horses from good ol' horse care to careers like riding instructor, extension on the vet career, racing, show, breeding and the like. The latter three could be rabbit holes where horses are mainly judged by how well you've raised/trained them to other others.
Yeah, if it is all about horses, it would be rather exclusive the way it is with almost all the game packs.
@Player_jp5s5eav I don't believe a game pack would be big enough to contain the additional content necessary to add horses and all related items + skills. You have to consider all the saddles, saddle pads, stalls, food types, skills, materials, bridles, etc. etc., all of which alone (not including the horses themselves) is equal to the current size of game packs available to us at the moment. And a "small world" wouldn't be suitable for the space necessary to take care of and utilize a large animal, let alone multiple large animals. I like what RB said in getting a world with large lots meant for horses and equestrianism, if it's small you're gonna end up with 4-5 lots in a single world and that would just be disappointing. And the comparison to Vampires is that vampires utilizes dominantly pre-existing and already in-game models. (i.e. human model with vampire traits) Horses have no pre-existing in game model to be spun from, which requires much more space.
Expansion packs are meant to be for larger amounts of content in my personal opinion. If dogs and cats alone (that you can't ride but can do just as many ground level interactions as you can with horses) get their own expansion pack then I don't see equestrianism fitting into the current game's current typical game pack size.
