The Sims 4: Horse Ranch - Feature Overview Trailer Discussion Thread

Just saw the trailer and I'm so excited!!! I see a lot of people are not happy in the comments because they say it doesn't come with enough.
But horses ARE the features. We rarely get new animations in new packs (or not as much as we would like) and I can see that this pack is bringing a LOT of new animations and horse interactions. I feel like that alone is justifiable because that's clearly where a lot of the budget and time went.
I'm super thrilled to have in depth horses and I'm glad they went all the way with them.
I don't need 1000 shallow things just to try and make it seem like the pack has "more" and personally I think it's totally worth my 40 dollars.
That first screenshot of the canyon is breathtaking and I'm totally setting up a scene like that with my horses ?
I'm so glad we can hire help because I had no idea how to manage my ranch lol.

I'm sure horses and the minis will be fun, but as someone who wasn't a horse girl, I was hoping for more. Definitely I will buy this pack, but I'm not sure I'll get it full price.

Simply adding a pool table, a rocking horse for the toddlers and kids, maybe a diving board (pools will be desirable in such a hot world) would push it into must have now territory. Not saying those things exactly, but just two or three other small items.

It looks lovely for sure. Just left feeling unsatisfied. I'm hoping the Livestream shows more.

and I add to this workind saloon doors

The Livestream will probably show in greater detail the features we've already seen. I'm not expecting to see anything new.

Just managing my expectations.

kids can ride horses so if there was rocking horse id give it to toddlers

I'm still upset about no saloon doors though

I expected to learn more about wool from mini sheep and milk from goats. Would be nice knowing whether they are physical objects (like llama wool/cow milk), that can be sold from a sales table, and if there is any specific recipe for the goat milk etc. Right now I suspect that we will sell it as we shear/milk, which would be good but not as appealing. We know we can sell it for money, but I'd like to know if it's possible to add anything to it like a wool/milk store.

Still looking forward to horses, but I'm with the people who found the gameplay trailer rather underwhelming. The reveal trailer already showed us everything twice, now we got it a third time with a voice-over, and I also agree that it wouldn't hurt to have a male narrator for a change. We still don't know much about the size of the world, whether there's more to unicorns than just a CAS accessory, if goats and sheep can work similar to cows and llamas, and if horses can exist outside of Chestnut Ridge (which I have no doubt they can, but many people on YouTube and Twitter think otherwise and keep stating their opinions as facts - a little word on that subject from the developers would go a long way). All we got are the names of some premades.

Speaking of which, though, I'm kind of into the redhead with the fiery horse. If he's actually in this pack and not just an extra for the trailer, he might join the exclusive club of premades that are allowed to stay in my game.

Excellent point. I've allowed myself to get my hopes up that horses can exist in other worlds, but they really do need to let us know one way or the other.

If they are limited to CR, I'd rather know early so I can manage my expectations. Like, my recollection is that we found out fairly early that skiing and snowboarding were locked to Mount K, which was more palatable than finding out (IIRC, in the livestream) that high school was locked to Copperdale.

If horses are limited to CR there must be a way to go there to rent a horse for the day. It would be very strange if only locals there can do anything involving horses. I expect we can have them in other worlds, though.

I am also really hoping that horses aren't locked in the new world.

Looking forward to seeing more. The trailer didn't really share too much extra info. Liking the idea of a ranch hand though and agree the goats are super adorable.
