What Are Your Plans For The Horse Ranch EP?

@Lenny_Ogg I definitely want to see Death and Binky together at last. I look forward to your screenshots.

I will create a werewolf who lives as a hermit on the Galloping Gulch neighboorhood. He will start with no funds and maybe a goat. The werewolf powers are going to be very useful with needs management while living in the wild. I want him to find his horse in the world instead of buying. From there he will slowly build up his ranch.

So, besides my obvious ideas of making a blended twist of Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman meets Outlander family household, plus Pocahontas household. As well as my Westernsong Family household that I'm currently working on sortof based on my most favorite female Country Singers: Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire & Martina McBride.
I'm thinking about giving that new townie "Sam Elliot" sim from Horse Ranch a wife named Katherine Ross based on real life.
Furthermore, I'm thinking of giving that new townie "Cowgirl Barbie" sim from Horse Ranch her sisters, Skipper, Stacie & Katie.
<3 B) :p ;)

My archaeologist couple, Toby and Milly Newman, are an active pair and will love living on a ranch between treks around the jungle.

I also have a dude called Fergus McHugh (he's got a wife and daughter), he's really into old Western style stuff, loves fishing and nature and I think I may get him to retire to the new world when he ages up. His daughter intends to be a doctor when she grows up and I can imagine her loving horses.

No idea when I will get this pack, but looking forward to that day :)

I'm not into horses, so I assume just 4-5 of my 100+ households will have a horse. But I have plenty of plans anyway:
- Chestnut Ridge will be part of my Oasis Spring+StrangerVille region.
- The Equestrian center will have strong ties to my Aristocracy. I already know who will be forming the Board.
- A rancher (maybe a couple with no kids, or a widowed sim) will run a High School involving riding and building good manners etc - suitable for the elite that can pay... I already created diplomas for those students :)
- There will be 2-3 sheep farms and 2-3 goat farms spread around my kingdom, but I need to learn more about how one can make a living of sheep/goats.
- I already have a few nectar farms (cc), and with the new feature this will obviously be adjusted.
- My travel agency, Way 2 Go Travels, will probably arrange trips into the Chestnut Ridge world, probably involving horses and camping. Need more info to plan this.

Has someone come up with a sheriff or law enforcement officers--like the different western TV shows? Could be fun to combine law sims with outlaw sims!

Oh, man, the first season of Dark Winds was soooo good! Second season starts soon, just in time for some inspiration.

I completely forgot about my Outlander household. I made Claire and Jamie roughly two years ago for Cottage Living, even furnished a house for them in Henford-on-Bagley, but never moved them in. Now that we're getting horses, I might give them another go. Not in Chestnut Ridge, though. The Bramblewood in Henford-on-Bagley looks more like their home region in later seasons.

I also have plans for the Outlander characters to join my game. I just finished their big house and plan to also build the cabin. Won't be completing any builds until after I get the pack, as I want to use the items in the new pack on all of my ranch builds. @GrumpyGlowfish, I agree that Henford is the best town for them. I want to fill Henford with off-the-grid/simple living gameplay. @SERVERFRA, I am planning on Dr. Quinn characters too, as well as little house on the prairie and Little Women. Possibly Waltons as well. It is fun to revisit the TV stories and characters we grew up with! I know it will take a long time to complete, but will be worth it in the end! :)

I had some western TV characters in my game a while back and I think I'll put them back in as neighbors. The Ingalls family from Little House, the Cartwrights from Bonanza, Matt Dillon from Gunsmoke.

I just wish we'd see a variety of Sims out and about instead of the same characters walking around.
