What Are Your Plans For The Horse Ranch EP?

They mentioned that this EP will be first nation's based. I really hope they make a long, basic braid style for all genders. More braids in general, would be important for this EP, but especially braids that can be worn by all---not just traditionally feminine. The sims definitely missing a few low, basic, long braid for males. I wish I could add this to the feedback part of the sims, but I can't post there yet for some reason.

Weed abatement? Our mission has sheep that are grazing on the hillside nearby in preparation for fire season.

possibly
I do live in woodsy countryside village in the middle of nowhere

so you would really think theres more animals to be seen

but people do more of the lumber and fields stuff these days

with these awful machine thingies
make a big noise
driving in the street,
gonna be a big annoyance one day
got mud on their face, big disgrace
Kicking their cans all over the place

sorry I seem to have gotten carried away some point there

anyway yeah I always get excited when I spot some actual honsies goats lambs and moomoos cause its become such a rare sight

heck, whens the last time I saw a chicken I do not know 2012? is that what the world end actually was chicken apocalypse?

Started building a barn next to the Roswells' house in Strangerville. Very rough WIP as I don't like any of the walls/windows/doors available. Hoping for good options in the pack.

Meredith Roswell has had this outfit in my game for a while, glad to know she will finally use it.



One of the house (still in Strangerville) with a fake wine cellar basement will finally be more than deco. Now that I think about it, a fair number of my houses have that Dine Out cellar, excited to go and replace all of them with a functional item.


The Watsons in Henford on Bagley might replace their cow with mini sheep, depends how they work in gameplay. They have a border collie and I always felt disappointed Cottage Living didn't give me sheep to herd on those english hills.


I might not play in the new world though, as I still haven't played in Tartosa, Copperdale, Moonwood Mill or San Sequoia. However, as I'm fond of Americana, and Strangerville is one of my favorite worlds ever, it's looking more promising than previous packs.
Mini Strangerville love letter:

Current Strangerville bar (and laundromat) with the townhouse/library in the background.

Only two of these houses are real.

This is a small thing, but I was just reading that horses love the smell of lavender and find it very calming. While it does not appear that we will have a new lavender harvestable, and I doubt there will be any other tie-in to this bit of trivia in the new items or gameplay, it does make me want to make sure that all of my horse-owning households incorporate lots of non-harvestable lavender (from the Build catalogue, can't remember whether it's under shrubs or flowers) into their landscaping.

Of course, some of them probably already have, as it is admittedly already one of my favorite landscaping items.

ETA: I don't think the likes and dislikes will ever get this involved-- I'm still hoping for the ability to add favorite foods!-- but it would be kind of nice if our sims (including horses) could have favorite flowers or trees (either harvestable, non-harvestable, or ideally both) and get happy moodlets when they see them. Just like in real life, when my heart gives a little leap whenever I see an oak tree or a bed of iris.

I love new locales for weddings so I'll probably scout the best lot for the views,set up a venue, and have a wedding.

In the past with dogs I've created a trainer and I'm thinking of doing that with horses. A sim that trains and breeds horses. When other sims stop by to visit their horse they gift the trainer simoleans. I did this with dogs so hopefully I can recreate it...crossing my fingers there will be at least one horse club activity added for this pack like riding or grooming.

Agreed on the universe. I play Star Stable and they added a "Camp Western" event for the next few weeks and it's made me so excited for the Western world coming to Sims. lol

My Plan is to NOT purchase.

I’ve just started building a ranch house frame for a possible house to place in the new world and I’ve got a family who’s got a young “wild child”/ animal lover at the moment who will be a perfect as a young adult to move to the horse ranch in two weeks. I’m so excited I can’t wait!!

I just prepared some equestrian clubs, and I see they will make a great structure for my horse efforts. Members list will remind me of who is interested in the first place :) Playing on rotation such things can easily be forgotten... I also planned a way to award members - even those not entering contests will have a small chance to decorate their horse fan wall with a minor ribbon or two :) I also just completed recording the next «Simmerville Show» which will focus on all this - today is editing day, and the release should be during this weekend.

Chance Newcrest, 3rd gen sim, is getting a ranch. Of course, he'll need to graduate out of diapers first. ?
