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:
