Have you considered putting up a ranch outside the Chestnut Ridge world? Like in such world as:Willow Creek (Extreme weather conditions such as heatwaves and blizzards)Newcrest (Extreme weather conditions such as heatwaves and blizzards)Magnolia Promenade (Retail lot)Windenburg (Extreme weather conditions such as heatwaves and blizzards, historical and picturesque for travelers)Forgotten Hollow (Vampires)Del Sol Valley (The rich and famous)Strangerville (Infectious zombies and glowing blobs)Sulani (Coastal World)Glimmerbrook (Magic and wizardry)Evergreen Harbor (Heavy pollution)Mt. Komorebi (steep and downward slopes, probably Avalanche, blizzard)Moonwood Mill (Werewolves)

@Lenny_Ogg Oasis Spring is the best alternative to Chestnut Ridge!

I finished setting up a new base save last night and have added ranches to:Brindleton Bay Oasis SpringsWindenburg (the Fyres household now have a horse and live on a ranch lol)

Not sure at what point it qualifies as a ranch, but one of my three horse households lives in Pendula View, Willow Creek. It rains quite a bit, but the horse doesn't seem to be bothered as long as there's no lightning and thunder.I have yet to see how a horse behaves in cold and snowy conditions. Yukimatsu, Mt. Komorebi seems like a good place to test that, and a good neighbourhood for horses in general because of the hiking trails that can be used to go riding. I have Japanese versions of the Disney princesses Snow White and Sleeping Beauty living there, so I might as well add a horse to their family now.

I don't have the pack so not yetI've been thinking of these lots/areas for horses• Brindleton Bay (Sable Square)• Tartosa (La Coppia Serena)• Selvadorada (museum lot)• Windenburg (island)• Henford on Bagley (old mill hill)+Moonwood Mill might have one or two animals sprinkled aboutI'm treating all deserts as part of same world so to me Strangerville or Oasis Springs or Del Sol Valley maybe won't have much since you can just go to Chestnut Ridge for italthough i have been thinking I need Gasoline Row for somewhere maybe Del Sol Valley but they keep not giving me motorcycles so they just might have to switch to horses hmph

I definitely plan on ranches in Henford and Brindleton Bay. I already have farms in both that I can add the new items (and horses!) to. Still setting up several games I want to play, so will be a little while. LOL I need more free time to get my games ready!

Have you tried to put up a ranch in a different world?

I've been thinking of these lots/areas for horses

• Brindleton Bay (Sable Square)
• Tartosa (La Coppia Serena)
• Selvadorada (museum lot)
• Windenburg (island)
• Henford on Bagley (old mill hill)

+Moonwood Mill might have one or two animals sprinkled about

I'm treating all deserts as part of same world
so to me Strangerville or Oasis Springs or Del Sol Valley
maybe won't have much since you can just go to Chestnut Ridge for it

although i have been thinking I need Gasoline Row for somewhere maybe Del Sol Valley
but they keep not giving me motorcycles so they just might have to switch to horses hmph

They should give us creat a world like sims 3. It could be the worlds that we have just blank. We could add our own rabbit holes. I think that would be a good thing.

I don't have the pack yet but once I get it, I will add a horse to my farm in cottage living. . I think a horse is a perfect addition to a farm with cows, chickens and sheep with a nectar vineyard on the side.

Glimmerbrook seems like a good place to have a 'unicorn', perhaps a dark unicorn can even survive amongst the werewolves in moonwood mill.

I think that Henford-on-Bagley, Windenburg (the countryside area would be ideal and maybe the island as well), StrangerVille and Oasis Springs would be great places to add a ranch. I can also see a ranch in Sulani, especially the location where the old woman with her grandchild lives.

I don't own the pack yet, but I will give the Knights of the Hedge their own horses. Windenburg practically screams for knights!

I have a horsey female sim with a ranch in Henford on Bagley and one in Oasis Springs, both of which are favorites of mine. The scenery in Henford is beautiful and makes for a great ride. I love taking her and her horse to Oasis Springs to the big park to ride too.

I am loving this pack more and more!
