honestly hard to say, personally with my big ranch I have on pause and my current play both work but with me it's more of if I couldn't have one I'd have the other so if they are on your radar maybe flip a coin and just grab whatever it falls on. While both had some bugs there was also some dramatics with both so you can't really go wrong unless you have less interest in one and pick that anyways.
Wow, Horse Ranch or For Rent? Well, in Chestnut World is where you can ride & train horses, also there's cute little lambs & goats. In For Rent it brings a beautiful new kind of Island World with mysteries, secrets & duplexes. So, it just depends on which theme your interested right now. ;)
For me definitely Horse Ranch. I love the horses, goats, and lambs, the horse training and competitions. And my horse, Domino, is just so full of personality.
Both are still on my list of packs to buy. But I am afraid I will have to wait for a sale. So horse ranch will be first for me. Chances are good for horse ranch to go on sale if EA holds a sale like they did each year for Christmas.
I am looking forward to chestnut ridge and nectar making. Also to the beautiful tomarang and multi family lots but that will have to wait for a bit longer.
If you’re not interested in animals (horses, sheep, goats) then you may not find so much to do in Horse Ranch. The world is beautiful, the BB and CAS are nice, there is nectar making, but I think it’s mainly the animals that make this pack so good.
On the other hand, I personally wasn’t that interested in the whole tenants/landlords thing, but I still find plenty to love in For Rent. As well as the beautiful world (which you can use boats in if you have IL), BB and CAS there are the new kitchen appliances, new maintenance objects, functional radiators, lot challenges, mould, hopscotch, marbles, new cultural aspects, and probably a load more things I’m forgetting.
I personally am an animal lover so I would always go for animals first, but if you’re not, you may really enjoy For Rent.
I think Horse Ranch is a better choice than For Rent. I wouldn't buy For Rent unless EA releases a patch for the many, MANY bugs before you buy. I thought I was going to luck out on not having the bugs since I'm not playing as either a tenant or a landlord, but no I went to move some sims in from manage worlds and the game decided that my luxury apartments were worth charging four BILLION dollars per unit in rent. :neutral:
I only got Horse Ranch a couple of weeks ago and if it had any bugs on release they must have fixed them because it's been perfectly smooth for me. I love having horses, the goats and sheep are ADORABLE, nectar making is fun and an awesome money maker. The world is beautiful and while it doesn't have a lot of lots, it has more than Tamarang and is a large world with plenty of places to ride.
It's ultimately your decision, so buy the one which appeals to you most. :smile:
Horse Ranch is my dream EP but I don't own it yet. I got to pick which one I wanted for my birthday and I picked For Rent, because I want to buy Horse Ranch on a sale and I also wanted the bonus items for For Rent. So it was the sensible decision. I've had a blast planning rental residentials in For Rent, but I haven't had time to experience much of the actual gameplay yet. Sorry I may not be much of a help, just wanted to say that I faced the very same problem.
