Ranch hands would probably most likely be similar to butlers. I suppose you could have ranch hand sims that come daily or on a schedule like the maids and gardeners if they lived elsewhere in the world or were homeless NPCs because not all ranches would have accommodations for the ranch hands (technically that’s true where I board — the horses up in full care have someone come twice a day to muck and feed, I’m down in self-care and do the twice daily routine myself). But then you might have a ranch where they have a bunkhouse or something for the ranch hand(s) so that’s probably similar to what the butler does.

So my limited knowledgeable of how this stuff works was kinda right? Cool. Thanks Saddle Club, and Darcy's Wild Life (and like the westerns my grandpa liked). Lol. But yeah no so we're in agreement it'd likely be like a butler, maybe with daily or recurrent service sim options. Which would allow you to use them in different ways, and tell different stories.

I wonder if, like the fisherman career and gardener careers, it would be one that your sims could do. Rabbit holes style. For the part-time situation. Probably would be a good job for teens.

I do think they'd have to work on that system though. We still have issues calling nannies and them not showing up. We've had Butlers for like more than 4 years right? I just checked they came in Dec 2016, that's almost 7 years. And you still have to be careful not to have them set to do all the tasks they can possibly do. And they're a bit buggy. If ranchhands work on that same type of system it needs fixing before they add something new.
Or you're gonna call for a ranch hand and they won't show up. But then you have to click fire to get a new one. You'll assign them a space, and next thing you know it's an entirely different sim working for you. Etc
