Chestnut Ridge World Discussion

It's basically Norco. (aka HorseTown, USA) except in Arizona instead of California. I'm all for it.

I'm betting the water isn't swimmable.

I like the town center.

It looks so pretty, I really like it!!

The town looks empty and dull. I'm thinking much of the gameplay will be on a couple of community lots, or riding around backdrops with your horse. But it reminds of Life is Strange: True Colors' town of Haven Spring, which was super comfy. I loved it.

I doubt we'll get a lot of lots, but I'm hoping they break the 12 lot trend and give us 15-16 or more. I'd play here all the time, if I didn't have to take my sims to a completely different world to get things.

I love the name and that Stone Ranch house is what my dream home looks like so even though I'm not normally a desert world lover, I think I might actually like this one.

I love new worlds! I love crosspack gameplay. I wonder what I will want to add from other packs to Chestnut Ridge. Sheepdogs?

"Sims can explore by trotting their way down a long and winding trail or by going downtown to New Appaloosa, ride around Riders' Glen, the Ranches’ Neighborhood. Be sure to check out Galloping Gulch, the National Park Neighborhood, which features plenty of scenic trails through the large rock formations as well as campfire spots and picnic areas. Your Sim may come across Dreadhorse Caverns where the adventurous can enter and try their luck at exploring!" ~ from: https://ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/the-sims-4-horse-ranch-guided-tour

It reminds be of several packs but I feel optimistic :smile:

It reminds me too much of Oasis Springs and Strangerville. The mountains in the background look very similar to the ones in Strangerville.
I hope the world is huge, but I'm skeptical. A couple years ago, someone on the sims team said they were not likely to release large worlds again (like Windenburg) to make the game more stable for lower end computers, I think it had something to do with save file size.

Cows and Llamas are a good idea.
