I personally hope for Horses in Sims 4. Who's with me? And what might it be like?Apart from that, I think horses WILL be in Sims 4, because it's another opportunity for EA to make money. I think, logically, they would show up coupled with some sort of "Pet Show" thing - for example you can take your Cats and Dogs to the pet show but of course you need both EPs. They work well together and deepen each other but don't require each other. It would also be nice to have a new farm-based world that would be great for roaming on your horses.I'd hope they'd show in a GP but they'd require a lot of animating (like Cats&Dogs) so maybe not. Perhaps they'll be another EP with as much stuff crammed in as possible to make it 'worth it'. Perhaps that will be the pack that gives us minor pets that involve only "Pet" and "Feed" interactions.

I'm kind of torn on TS4 horses. I love horses, and I am all for more animals in general. I'd love small animals that actually had interactions beyond feed/watch. The idea of horses in TS3 was great, but the execution was horrific.Their pathing was a nightmare, even on home lots. Watching them make an 18-point turn to angle themselves to interact was painful to watch. And I'm not entirely sure they could do much better in TS4. They are huge objects. I'd like to see the cows and chicken objects from ts3 come back, and it was a nice way to handle another large animal (the cows). But a static horse would cause an uproar to rival toddlers, I'm sure.

I felt the same about Cats & Dogs when they were added and apparently the solution was to limit strays to that one world, aside from a few stragglers in Selvadorada. So my question to you is, would you be okay with only seeing roaming horses in the new neighborhood as opposed to every neighborhood?It's not something that hasn't been done before. You only see the Insect collection in Granite Falls. But comparing the worlds we have now, such as the suburbs of Newcrest and the city of San Myshuno, are not exactly places you'd find roaming horses in. That's why I'd expect a new world with the pack. A farming kind of landscape.

I'd rather see small or caged pets that don't leave the lots (chickens, hamsters, etc). It would be difficult to ride the horse due to having a loading screen between lots. Although I do own horses so getting to create those for my sim self would be fun.

I doubt it, with no open world, horses have no real place to do horse things.

Well, some accessible areas around lots like those on the island in Windenburg and in that neighborhood in Brindleton Bay where the 64x64 lot is located (forgot what it's called) are actually pretty big. When I had my Sims jog with their dogs there, they'd be gone for hours. Those locations would, imo, be big enough to ride a horse. If they dedicated an EP to farm animals and put horses in there, they could create a new world like Windenburg or Brindleton with large, nature-y neighborhoods for your Sims to ride their horses. They could place some obstacles in there and all... would be pretty fun, I think! I absolutely love horses and unfortunately never got to play them as I didn't own TS3, so a part of me really wants them in TS4. But like others, I don't know if they'd be done right... so am not sure. But still, I'd probably be super, super excited if they did decide to do a farm pack with horses!

I'd love to see horses. I'd definitely be interested. In my case, I wouldn't actually need to have wild, roaming horses in the game unless a world were created to suit them. I could see a world that combines elements of Australia and Colorado or similar, having some wild horses. I'm not personally looking for the wild horses but I'd enjoy them even primarily in one world or I'd keep them on very large lots. I still haven't used the biggest lot in Newcrest, for example.

I'd be mainly interested in the equestrian skills and doing some horse chores. I liked the TS3 approach to horses a lot. I'd be happy to see some forms of that again - racing, horse shows, jumping, rodeo, etc. I don't know, I'd just want lots of things to do with the horses and I'd have sims who would ride and train them. Anyway, I'm the market for this.

I'd like a western themed pack for horses.. And then a separate old style county farm pack with the ability to cross the two over and have a horse ranch farm etc... I think that would be awesome :smiley:

A living on the farm pack with horses, chickens, sheep, cows and vicious geese would be great. I've never been a fan of horses personally but I would like more farm animals and this could be a good themed pack. Cows, sheep, geese and chickens giving materials the Sims could use for other things. Geese are also good guard animals.

Seeing a farm world with roaming horses does seem like an appropriate world.

I wouldn't want my animals to be just objects though. Even if you can't ride your farm animals I'd still want to get more from them than produce. Otherwise it's straight back to fish, with 'view'.

I hate how the terreriums of frogs and insects don't actually do anything. Everything should do something.

"No place to do horse things" so the open area every lot has does not count? what if they added lots built for horses with things like a race track and jumps. Sims 4 worlds cant even be designed to be the wild west no one rides their horse across town a open world is not required to have horses.

Horse GP? Then wait for the buckets, brushes, halters, saddles in a stuff pack? Probably.

You gotta give them some credit. It'll probably have, like, one of each in the GP. And then they'll sell an SP with more variants once people complain about the lack of variety of horse items.
