What Are Your Plans For The Horse Ranch EP?

I am hoping that horses can travel with sims and use any walking/biking/hiking paths so can experience riding a horse in places like Henford, San Sequoia, Moonwood Mill, and even Granite Falls. That would be awesome!

It would be great if can go camping with horses too. I would love for my sims to sit around campfire with the horses there too, just like in the western movies/TV shows!

My sim Jasmine has been working on a farm with her parents for some time now in Henford. When her elderly parents died she was bereft and had a one night stand resulting in her son Huckleberry.
She has decided to move to Chestnut Ridge with her son and learn all about horses. Breaking free of Henford and painful memories of her beloved parents.

@Pebbles_75 sounds like a fun idea. Hope you'll share your gameplay with us. ?

Harvest Moon: A New Beginning is one of my favorite games. I don't necessarily want to recreate the characters, but it'd be fun to run a farm, create bachelors/bachelorettes, and see what happens.

I have a couple with one kid that will move to CR. Cora has always been an outdoors gal and when her dad moved to San Myshuno she was never really happy. Dad met Grim and now Cora's married to a guy who works part time. As Cora is a fledgling interior decorator family income isn't high enough to pay for their penthouse and send the kid to uni. A second family to be moving is my apocalyptic family. They've made a success of their life in OS and want to make a fresh start.

I have been thinking and thinking trying to decide which of my familes in my main big save I wanted to really embrace the Ranch life. I think I have decided on a family currently embracing the cold of Mount Komorebi. Kristopher, the dad will complete his Extreme Sports aspiration first. Then his wife Marcia will convince him that their toddler, Aimee loves horses so much they should embrace a new life in Chestnut Ridge.

And I also have a new couple in Tartosa that have chickens on the lot, they need a mini sheep... just because.. cute!

I have been preparing this family - witch wife, human sim dad, and their dog and chickens. They live in San Seq. where he's been going to work as a gardener while she was working on her psych degree to become a teacher. She graduated, got a job, and they just had their firstborn, Olivia. All in all, things have been going well for them but with the dad being a real animal lover, his dream has always been to move to the countryside and start his own farm - growing even more crops instead of taking care of someone else's, breed horses, cows, and more, and living off of what his land and animals can produce. So we'll be moving them all to Chestnut Ridge where I'd like to move them into a more modest home and then slowly expand their farm around them.

The family :blush:

You know what I suddenly thought of as I looked over the townies?

In my personal file, the Fengs adopted a kid to be their heir. His name's Alex and with his skintone and hair, I always thought of him as indigenous. Whenever I get this pack, and he ages up into Young Adulthood and past the pre-requisite college he'll be forced to take, I might just have him visit Chestnut Ridge and try to get in touch with his native heritege a bit more.

I do believe retired Horse Trainer to the Stars/aka Sam Elliot doppelganger Don Gooseman may have had a torrid affair with Judith Ward in their younger days, while she was filming her breakout hit Simnational Velvet. Perhaps they can reconnect while she recovers from "exhaustion" during a restful nectary vacation.

(Taking recommendations for a better film name, that one is terrible, but you get the idea.)
