No new club activities in Horse Ranch-why?

Two new skills (riding and nectar making were added in Horse Ranch, but zero new club activities were added with the pack. This feels inconsistent and disappointing, but would love to see them added in a patch. New activities are added with just about every pack, so this feels like a glaring oversight.
  • There's a lot of things missing in Horse Ranch, compared to the Cats & Dogs expansion, which it clearly built off of

    - Eventing center, arguably a very large part of the game and should be one of the center focuses of the pack, is merely a rabbit hole. All the promotional materials depict what appear to be events happening in real time at the eventing center.
    - The jumping and barrels are ONLY for practicing and you cannot set up, for example, a track of jumps that a rider can follow a path on. You can only go back and forth on the same jump, so we can't even emulate our own events if we wanted to.
    - Mane and tails cannot be changed per outfit -- meaning you need to go through two loading screens in order to braid or unbraid your horses hair.
    - Minimal sliders on the body, far less than the cats and dogs
    - Minimal amount of tack
    - Unable to lead a horse on a leash (in spite of leashing mechanics existing for dogs)
    - Cannot Neuter or Spay horses, in spite of that being a Major aspect of keeping horses and geldings are functionally a third sex with different personalities to mares or stallions
    - No new horse related lot traits, in spite of there being multiple for cats and dogs
  • Baffles the mind that cross-pack compatibility is never prioritized in a game with so much DLC
  • I feel like it’s definitely an oversight and they’ll add club compatibility in a future patch. They’re usually pretty good at including stuff in club activities so hopefully they’ll fix it soon.
