I have discovered a not spoken of feature from the horse ranch. You can now get completely smashed , "dazed" , from the VIP bucket, usually just decor, but now it's a functional object.

How did you do that? I tried with my nectar maker sim (max skill level, finished aspiration), but there are no options on the celebration bucket other than to view it.

I just started playing a new family and the youngest has been really wanting a baby horse because her older sister has a Holsteiner. They decided to adopt a rescue foal... uh oh. It's traits are not good! I think little Chloe will get more than she bargained for haha. But so far, the foal has allowed her to pet it (it got in a very bad mood for quite a while when she tried to cradle it).

Is it possible to change a horses traits through gameplay?

@Ellupelluellu I couldn't believe it! ? Julianna has to know that Domino and Rosalie don't like one another. I'll have to tell Rosalie a joke and see what happens.

What a sweet pic. I really want to raise a foal. I wish horses didn't take up a household slot.

@simgirl1010 , heyyyyyyy... poor Rosalie! :smiley:

Oh no Julianna. Not you too. :o Domino was feeling down so Julianna told him a joke. A llama joke!

Haha, @Ellupelluellu I swear he almost seems like a person. ? So much personality.

@simgirl1010 , Good! Happy for Rosalie <3

Domino, really , sulking looks so lame, don't do it :p

As promised Rosalie got some special treats.

Sulking because he didn't receive a treat.

Domino was spooked when Rosalie turned orange. "What is this magical foolery?!"

He cheered up though when the ranch hand asked him about his many competition wins.

@SheriSim57 good points. I like how there are several different factors influencing medal wins. I'll have to pay closer attention with the next wins and see if there's a pattern. I do try to make sure Domino is a good mood before competing.

Domino's first gold medal! In beginner barrel racing. We had to compete in the beginner level three times before getting gold. Hopefully some of the next levels won't require winning bronze and silver before winning gold. You can only compete once a day.

I think it depends on how much skill the horse ( or rider ) has. One of my sims competed, and I believe got a silver on his first jumping race ( Beginner ).

@SheriSim57 I'm not sure. Julianna is at level 10 riding skill and Domino is level 10 in endurance, agility, temperament, and jumping. Since I first posted he's mostly been getting gold the first time but still occasionally gets a bronze or silver.

Oh, wow, my sim did not have 10’s but, won a silver first time as beginner, but he did practice with his horse a lot before ever racing. I noticed someone mentioned that one of their sims was tense when competing, and they didn’t take first. Sounds like maybe moods, matter. And, thinking about it, I remember reading something about the horses traits having some effect on different types of awards for the different competitions too. I can’t remember if I saw that earlier on this thread or elsewhere.
