But never mind, I'm just happy it's on it's way and I really appreciate the background work that has gone into it, seeing the behind the scenes attention to detail. It looks like a lot of love went into it's creation 🐎. Definitely a labor of love! I love seeing the top requests come to fruition 🙂 Babies and horses are checked off, just got to get the spiral staircases approved now 😉

@xochiquetzl_xkvn @simsplayer818 I also love the world, though I had been hoping for a non-US setting. But as a setting within the US, it's gorgeous! And the build items are great - Moonwood Mill needs some log cabins.I also am really excited for nectar making, as I grew up in wine country. But unfortunately I am not, myself, all that into horses (though they do look well done!) so I may still wait until it goes on sale. We'll see if the livestream changes my mind.

@JonaO703 I'm also looking forward to the world. Until now I've been using that picturesque little bit of Strangerville with the beautiful canyon backdrop to place ranches, but the lots are so small it's not the same. I managed to fit 2 cows with a lawn the size of a postage stamp for grazing. More like sardines than cattle 🐮.

Yeah, I love the world! I also play in Strangerville for the southwest vibe. I feel like you might have used the town square of the place I went to college as a reference! Also my sister lives in Albuquerque and I love the area. I’m getting Santa Fe vibes for Chestnut Ridge and it is :chef kiss:!!!

@EA_Cade I have to say that I'm cautiously optimistic about this pack. :-) I'm probably in the minority here but I'm more excited about the world and the BB items than I am about the horses. I think I need that guitar in the bonus items! Also, the new world does look really beautiful!By the way, as much as I would love a spiral staircase, can we prioritize Fairies first? Or maybe a spiral staircase can be included in the Fairies pack? ;-)

@EA_Cade the pack doesn't disappoint, it's absolutely beautiful. The horses are stunning and my compliments go to whoever designed them.
Yay, they're finally here!

I have been wanting horses for the game for a very long time. I think it honestly took too long, but I am thrilled with how the expansion turned out! I love that the horses are free roaming. The cows and llamas from the other expansion should get an update so they are free roaming as well. The mini goats and sheep are absolutely adorable! A couple things I do think would be nice: command the horses to sleep. I'm seeing some of my horses sleep schedule is off and I need them awake during the day. And leads. It would be fun to be able to walk them on a lead. But those are minor things. Everything that is there for the expansion: AWESOME! Job well done, bravo! I love it! Next up: cars! I know I've put this on FB Sims 4 fan pages, but it could easily be done with what already exists in the game.So much potential for a 'Sims 4 Auto Attack' pack. I want to get paid if that name gets used. LOL At least a free download of the expansion. I'll be happy. LOL But well done on the Horse Ranch Expansion!

@Dianna124 I noticed this with the horses too, I now get my Sim to stand on their hay bed and call them over at bedtime. 90% of the time they will lie down on the bed and go to sleep. If their energy is too high sometimes they will just take a little nap. I also found that if I call them out of bed to eat breakfast they get really angry. So I wait till they are up and about first. It's adorable when the little mini goats climb into the hay bed and nap next to them though...like "don't mind me, I'll just take this little corner of the bed". Impossibly cute!

When will this be available on Amazon in the USA? I've been saving my gift cards and was previously able to pre-order growing together almost a month in advance so I don't know why horse ranch isn't already there.
I'm also looking for the answer to this. If we order it from the uk amazon, does it still work? I'm getting desperate lol
