The Sims 4 Horse ranch negative discussion.

I shouldn't have assumed unicorns would be included just because TS3 had them. Oh well. ?

That's a bummer if there no unicorns.

Not really excited about the trailer.
the horses look great but I want to know what they can do. Can they be taken to other lots? Can they appear in all worlds?
the tiny sheep and goats look cute, toddlers will adore them but what do they offer once the cuteness wears off.
Besides those animals the only thing I could see was nectar.

And most importantly no signs of unicorns. If they don't come with this pack, I guess that means we will never get them in the sims 4.

Horses are part of the household like cats and dogs so I'm pretty sure you can take them. They'd just be outside. You might, if they have this item, have to edit lots to have something to tie them to or they'd probably wander like cats and dogs. And I don't know that they can get in the house. Myb if you have an arch or a sliding door on the ground floor. But I'm fairly certain they'll come with you. How else could you take them to the events, or training course?

The goats offer wool and the sheep's milk. It's probably that they're cute. And it's milk that lactose intolerant sims can drink. With Eco you could likely make soap. Looks like we don't get the cashmere from them. But sheep wool is different from llama wool so you might get new crafts and different quality.

The blog also said more about horses.

Sorry I said goats offer wool wrote that backwards. Sheep's wool goats milk. That's why no cashmere.

I love that there is rep for indigenous people, and the goats are cute, but that's all the positives I got from that trailer. I still don't understand why miniature goats/sheep came with this pack. It really feels like they added them to try to qualify this as an EP instead of a GP. I still believe nectar making should've been in MWS, my stance won't ever change on that. I hope the goats at least have depth too. Those kinds of goats love to play and exercise so I hope there's things for them to do in this pack that are interactive and playful.

I agree with what others have said, that the horses seem just like the ones from TS3, so far not much makes them stand out and makes them unique from TS3 Pets EP. I suppose time will only tell once more info and a gameplay trailer releases. As of right now, this seems like a GP, which seems to be a common theme with TS4 pack releases lately.

Unicorns are still possible:

The very best part – Foals can be born on your ranch! That’s right, players can have their Horses nuzzle under the stars to make the perfect little Foal, a combination of both of its parents…and they may even unlock a unique Trait.

The trailer just proved how little content there is in this pack. They show the same things over and over again.

Oh unicorns, I wonder if we can controlled horses.

Sure the horses themselves look well done, but... They were well done in TS3 Pets, which came with dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, a huge world and more.

I see an empty-looking world full of shells which looks pretty but otherwise lacks gameplay. Where have we seen that before...

I was at least hoping for some small surprises such as rocking horses for kids or the mechanical bull, but... Alas.

Obviously this is only a first impression and more details will be revealed as well get closer to release, but at the moment it looks... Shallow.

Yeah the rocking horse is a good idea and should have come with this pack also. Maybe even add trampolines and hopscotch at the very least. They could have even added birds and reptiles back. This pack is really disappointing.
