Horse Customization Issues

I can't change the horses manes or tails and that makes me sad. ☹️ 

Also it's a bummer you can't ride the horse into the building for the competition and instead you enter the arena separately. But I digress.

If you use the fulleditmode cheat all the pet's names changes to one of your sims names and you can't change them back, sometimes traits change too from horse traits to human or vice versa.

Nectar making machine keeps getting stuck, sims never complete a bottle but experience bar continues to raise.

Overall, thank you!! I truly appreciate the time, talent, and effort placed into the game, everything looks lovely, and it's nice to have the horses in it. Finally, my sims family portrait is complete! The mini animals are cute and the nectar is fine but pretty buggy when I use it so haven't gotten to experience it much. It'd be nice to have any kind of English riding outfit (a pair of breeches and actual tall boots instead of just paddock boots and jodhpurs would be great!) and more jumping obstacles that you can jump as a full course like sims 3. I'm the little mermaid when it comes to horse stuff so I understand I'm not the target audience and the team is very busy, but an entire horse-jumping specific stuff-pack would be great, I'm just saying. There are a surprising amount of horse riders that play the sims so it might even do well enough to pay for itself.

Am I supposed to make a different topic for each of these? I'm old and dumb and bad with technology, please forgive these sins.

P.S. what does it mean to "Support [Sims] facial hair"? Is facial hair heavy? Can I just compliment it instead?

  • @Superninjew Hi there. In Create A Sim click on the horse there are 6 options 1 breeds, 2 Body, 3 Hair, 4 Coat and color, 5 outfits, 6 Paint mode to add extra markings and colors. Then there are 4 more options at the side of that. 1 saddles 2 blankets, 3 bridals and 4 accessories.

    I don't use the support facial hair, LOL did once and the guy didn't like it. Guess he thought my character was making fun of it. LOL

    There is equestrian boots. There is also an old fashion equestrian out fit use the full outfit in Create a Sim to find it. The Hat is in brimmed hats for the old fashioned equestrian hat. 

    By the way you are never to old to ask questions that's how we all learn. ♥  Never to old to learn or play ♥

    Hello!

    Thank you for your quick reply!


    Before I forget, I don't have any mods or custom content installed.
    I didn't specify but I meant I can't change the horses mane/tail after the horse has already been created. You can change saddle, bridle, and saddle pad, but you can't change the mane or tail post-CAS. And if you use the cheat "cas.fulleditmode on" or whatever it is, the names of the entire family will change to the head of the household's name and you can't change it back.

    There are equestrian paddock boots with halfchaps on them, but no true english tall show boots. I've worked with horses as a professional for the better part of my years now so I'm just picky about details and I would 110% support any stuff packs for horses haha. And I totally skimmed over the full body outfit, it's closer to what I was hoping for!


    Thank you again for your time!

    I'm also a real horse person and am using mods to get correct show outfits, although they just ride in them and not show.  Even though it still needs some bugs worked out, I LOVE this pack and am hoping they add packs/kits too.

    I have never had the problem with the names from using the Cas.fulleditmode cheat So odd.

    Yes there are no proper out fits or boots and only boots for women and not men. There are the breeches for the guys in full outfits but no boots. I'm sure nothing good enough. If you want your game to reflect real life. Sorry ♥

    @wildwingsuz Yeah sims 3 was a rabbit hole for shows too so I was expecting that in this pack, but I'm a bit bummed they don't at least ride into the building together! But riding in the proper gear while training is a must XD

    Gotta really hand it to the mods for already having so much content out. I wish I was savvy enough to do those things but I'm appreciate of those that do!

    I'm excited for this pack, I really hope they add more to it though. Literally just a bunch of new jumps that can be arranged in various courses is all I need. That's it, I'll be the happiest lil sims camper. Fingers crossed haha

    But as it is right now I am enjoying it a lot!

    @ReneHollyDesign1  I have lots of issues with cas.fulleditmode cheat unfortunately, so I usually avoid it anyway, now even more so xD

    Oh well, at this point it doesn't really matter. Sims 3 is buggy as heck, so Sims 4 does much better in comparison there, especially considering how much game there is

    I'll just wait for mods to come through, but I still want to hold out for the Sims team to come out with a more jumps pack, I miss the water jump and the different oxers and cavalettis, and the fire jumps! Just jumping one jump again and again is the most boring mechanic. The barrels are nice because the horse changes patterns on it, but jumps could absolutely be improved.

    Anyway that's not really a problem per se, more a desire so I digress

    Thanks again for your input! I'm not sure if I should mark this as solved because I still am having issues with not being able to change the horses mane or tail when changing their tack. If this is a feature, not a bug, then I'll rest my case. But if so, that's not a very good feature. Horses have different hairstyles for each of their outfits too! haha
