Horse Ranch or For Rent??? Bugginess?

Okay, I've been playing The Sims franchise since the beginning, which does color my perception of stuff somewhat. I LOVED Sims 3 - still play occasionally but dang it, TS4 building has been a big dra...

    I'd choose Horse Ranch. I'm not really into horses, but the pack is among my favorites. For Rent has a much smaller (but nice) world, and because renting units involves a certain glitchy risk, I find myself calculating rent in a spreadsheet rather than use the ingame function.

    I had horses in  TS3 but they never grabbed me for real and I found them too tedious. I LOVE the horses in TS4, even if there is no ope world, it is soooo nice taking hem for a ride or to train them for contests. HR also includes nectar making + the forever sweet minigoats/sheep. They will never stop amusing you :)

    Yeah, I think I have to agree with you. I do think I'd enjoy Horse Ranch more and I can always pick up For Rent later, hoping they get most of the bugs fixed, although there's no reason for me to be optimistic!

    I forgot about the nectar-making and I somehow missed the goats/sheep, LOL. Thx!

      columbia93I forgot about the mini goats and sheep! I would buy Horse Ranch just for them. I use them in every save (again, a good combination with Cottage Living and Eco Livestyle).

    At least you could play as a horse or unicorn in sims 3. I found that to be amusing gameplay.

    SimmervilleI feel the same about Horse Ranch. I didn't get it for the horses, but it's one of my favourites: it has a large world with a variety of good builds (I don't renovate them immediately), and the build style and gameplay go well with Cottage Living and Eco Lifestyle if you enjoy an Off The Grid or Rags To Riches like I do. I don't use the nectar skill much, but I will collect and sell it. columbia93 it sounds like you'd enjoy Horse Ranch, and should start there. I'd buy or recommend most packs at 50%. (I also enjoy For Rent, and was surprised by how much of the build/buy I re-use - plants, floors, appliances, clutter - but the point about loading screens is fair and accurate.)
