Weee another EP is on the way, and while I do have some things to criticize, I can't lie about the fact that I've been wanting to have horses in my game for quite some time and - to me personally - this world looks way better to live in than the one that came with CL :sweat_smile: But ANYWAY this isn't about my opinions, I'm more so excited to see everyone's new farms and horse ranch builds! So I do hope y'all don't mind sharing your beautiful builds again starting tomorrow.In the meantime, feel free to browse the awesome things simmers have made for Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Island Living, and Discover University. Or look at some renovated apartments here. Happy Horse Ranch day, everyone! https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/eacom/SIMS/common/ts4-official-screens-01-002-16x9.png.adapt.1456w.png

I'm thinking of finally building a vet clinic again; just feels like Chestnut needs one even if the horses will never go there lmao. But still, it's a relatively new save and somehow this pack motivates me to actually put some effort into this world

Might be a bit convoluted, but could make certain stories a bit more immersive. Or save a few minutes, say, if you wanted to buy treats for your dog and your horse at the same time.

I didn't have much time, since I'm watching the kids today. But here's a quick boarding home I made. Sims rent a room and stay for as long as they like.Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://i.imgur.com/vZCLRq6.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/pHfXHEJ.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/MPC4wlW.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/35GMeLH.pngThe idea is that you come and check in at the front desk. You have a communal living room and a kitchen anyone can use. I'll add more furniture and decor as people pass by. In my head, people will leave collectibles, and the owner (Sienna whateverherlastname, Idk because I just moved her out for the space) puts them on display as a reminder of all the good people who used to live there.I left the furniture bare since I wanted to move the sims in first, then figure out what they'd put in their rooms once I got to flesh them out some more. https://i.imgur.com/vZCLRq6.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/pHfXHEJ.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/MPC4wlW.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/35GMeLH.pngThe idea is that you come and check in at the front desk.

I am having one frustration with Galloping Gulch, though, and I am hoping one of you creative people can help me find a workaround:I really love both the Big Sky and Palomino Junction builds. However, I don't love them on the lots they are on, and think they would be much better switched out. I.e., I would like the raggedy little cabin on Palomino Junction moved to the Big Sky lot, and the nice cabin on the BS lot moved to the bigger PJ lot.The first one is easy. I just save a copy of the PJ lot, bulldoze the BS lot, and then add the PJ lot to the BS lot. I'm not worried about moving the landscaping over, so I can just center it and not worry about what gets cut off around the edges.But moving the BS lot to the PJ lot is a bit trickier. I'd like to move the BS cabin to the PJ lot, but I want to retain the PJ landscaping. Actually, let me be more specific: I don't care that much about the rest of the landscaping, but I absolutely love that pretty little lake on the PJ lot and I don't have the skills to recreate it. (I also don't have the building skills to tear down the little PJ cabin and rebuild the BS cabin myself.) So... since we can't merge lots, and have to bulldoze the original lot to add a lot from the gallery/library, is there anything I can do here? Can I save the lake as a room? I know people do save outside areas as rooms, because I see them on the gallery all the time, but for the life of me I can never figure out how to do it. Is that an option here? Or does anyone have any alternative suggestions?Thanks in advance! Crossposting from the CR World discussion, since there are some great builders in this thread who might be able to help out.

@grnblz I downloaded MDianaSims from the gallery. I used her id as typed here in search on the gallery and it was the first lot on her page. I too am looking forward to playing with this lot!

@MDianaSims I cannot do Simblr. Do you have this ranch on the gallery? I would love to download it. Been looking for something to give me a new way to play my sims and this would do very nicely. I would like it very much if you could put it on the gallery and send me a link to get it. Thanking you in advance.

@MDianaSims yes it's off. I find some of the larger images, especially for frequent posters, to be quite disruptive/distracting. ?

Thanks for the link!

ETA: If it's not too much maybe you could just post a little notice in one of the 'What Happened In Your Game' threads when you have an update. ?

@simgirl1010 It's mdianasims.tumblr.com (it's also in my signature, but I can imagine you set those to invisible ;) ).

As for the ranch, this is how my Sim currently lives, it's not great, but it's better than that sleeping bag she had at first ;)

@maggiemae8135 Thanks, I hope you enjoy playing in it!
@Ziafar Thank you :blush:
@simgirl1010 I do plan to share it on my simblr, I might share some of that here. But the current state is not much improved from the original :joy: My sim sleeps in the stable attic and she got one stall ready for one horse, otherwise everything is still locked and there are still spiders everywhere.

@MDianaSims I love it! I was thinking of starting a rags to riches game with someone inheriting an old farm/ranch and slowly fix it up. Haven't had time lately to play much so on hold. But I really like what you have done with this abandoned ranch and plan to download it to use in my game. Maybe even add more of a challenge and make it haunted! Great way to start a career that will bring in money to fix the place up! I will just have to put a medium table in somewhere with the storyline that the reason it is abandoned is that the previous owners were scared off by the hauntings and unable to deal with it themselves. Just need to find more time, probably once the holidays are over! Think I will use the little shed-like buildings for goats and sheep area once fixed up! This ranch is awesome!
