[R&DR] Bullet Show at Dawn (also known as "Arizona") is the walking and whinnying version of 'If it breathes, I can befriend it'. This gorgeous young mare who stands at 15.2hh is fearless, which helps her in her barrel racing career that she is beginning in for the first time this year. Arizona is projected to give amazing results in competition, and produce some friendly and talented foals in upcoming breedings.

COMMUNITY BLOG: Saddle Up With the Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack

EA has shared a community blog for the announcement of the next The Sims 4 expansion Pack, Horse Ranch.

Saddle Up With the Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack

Invite your neigh-bor Ranchers over as we welcome Horses

There is no better feeling than coming home to your very own stretch of land inspired by the great American West. Players can explore the rustic locale and curate their ideal ranch life – whether that be a barn full of animal friends or a relaxing cabin on the prairie, each moment is sure to feel authentic and meaningful.

In The Sims™ 4Horse Ranch Expansion Pack, players will have the opportunity to raise, train and form special bonds with majestic Horses, and fall in love with adorable Mini Goats and Mini Sheep. You can saddle up and meander into town to learn all about country living from the locals.

Now, mosey on over to your rocking chair and get ready for a story that’s about to be the talk of the ranch!

LIFE ON A WORKING RANCH

Suly Suly, partner. Welcome to Chestnut Ridge, a rustic world inspired by the wide open skies of the iconic American West. This picturesque world is perfect for waking up in the morning to look out at the big open countryside from the ranch of your dreams, whether that be a traditional cabin or a modern farmhouse.

Get the whole family involved! And by the whole family, we mean Horses, too! Sims will now welcome Horses into their families and care for every aspect of their lives. Each animal will provide a unique contribution to the ranch (even if it’s just to be adorable).

Sims will work hard and play harder, experiencing all aspects of a working ranch. Sims can experience mucking a Horse Bed, lending a hand on the ranch and more. From keeping all of your animals happy and clean to harvesting Prairie Grass for the Animal Feeder, Sims can delight in knowing that all of their hard work is worth it. When the work builds up, Sims can hire a Ranch Hand to help!

For your Sims that like to DIY, they can craft their own Nectar by stomping a variety of fruit… or potatoes… or even trash! The bottled Nectar can be consumed in multiple servings and it will have different effects. Sims can age it in Nectar Racks for more Simoleons.

BOND WITH ANIMALS

Sims can fill their ranch with animal friends to carve out a life together. Their Horses – including adorable Foals – are part of a Sim’s household and have lots of special interactions with both Sims and other Horses. Sims can shear the Mini Sheep and milk the Mini Goats for Simoleons, eventually inviting locals to come and see how adorable they are!

JOIN A THRIVING COMMUNITY

While living on a ranch has its moments of peace and solitude, Sims can saddle up and ride their Horse into town to check out the lively social scene. Your Sims can meet friends at the bar, blow off steam at the dance hall, or train at the equestrian park. Sims can even host or attend a Ranch Gathering with a cookout and dancing, or a Ranch Animal Day, where they can interact with the animals.

CREATE, BREED AND RAISE HORSES

We’ve heard and seen all of your requests for Horses, and we are elated to announce that players can now customize hoofed friends in Create a Sim, or get new Horses by rescuing, breeding or purchasing them. You can choose from real-world breeds, change the horse’s head shape, mane, tail, feathers, body mass, coat length and more!

The very best part – Foals can be born on your ranch! That’s right, players can have their Horses nuzzle under the stars to make the perfect little Foal, a combination of both of its parents…and they may even unlock a unique Trait. The joy of breeding and raising Foals on your Sim’s ranch is one you won’t want to miss. Each Horse has its own personality, and the Foal will learn both from the family and trainer!

Sims can explore by trotting their way down a long and winding trail or by going downtown to New Appaloosa, ride around Riders’ Glen, the Ranches’ Neighborhood. Be sure to check out Galloping Gulch, the National Park Neighborhood, which features plenty of scenic trails through the large rock formations as well as campfire spots and picnic areas. Your Sim may come across Dreadhorse Caverns where the adventurous can enter and try their luck at exploring!

Horses have four Skills: Temperament, Agility, Jumping, and Endurance.  Horses develop Jumping Skill by practicing on Horse Jumps.  They develop Agility by practicing on Horse Barrels.  All of these skills apply to the competitions that take place at the Equestrian Center. Winning competitions results in Simoleons, rewards such as plaques for your walls and metal signs you can display on your big Ranch Sign.  They culminate in the Ultimate Horse Championship!

SACRED HEALING CIRCLE

“Indigenous people have always had a deep, spiritual relationship with horses,” says Stacey Parshall Jensen, The Sims’ friend and sensitivity reader who collaborated on The Sims 4 Horse Ranch. “They’re a symbol of power. They provide healing and represent freedom and bravery to our Indigenous culture.”

Together with The Sims team, Stacey worked to co-create food, home items, and clothing that are represented in Horse Ranch, reflecting elements of Native American culture. To celebrate the launch of this pack, The Sims team is making a donation to Sacred Healing Circle, a 100% Indigenous founded and led organization working to support Indigenous communities through preserving traditional methodologies and practices, including the Native American Horse Preservation and Research Program. This program helps to preserve the Native American Horse, as well as protects the traditional and historical knowledge surrounding the horse and Indigenous People in the Americas.

Preorder The Sims 4Horse Ranch Expansion Pack now to start playing immediately when it launches on July 20, 2023 on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via EA app for Windows, Origin™, Steam® and Epic Games Store. The Sims 4 has officially launched on the Epic Games Store as well, another download destination for this Expansion Pack.

So i had an idea for a Sims challenge with the new horse pack. Its nothing too crazy, just some fun parameters for your gameplay (which is something I enjoy in big sandbox games) and I thought I'd share in case anyone else wants to try or wants inspo for their own gameplay!

Im calling it the "Home on the Range" challenge

Your grandpa recently retired and decided to move away from his ol plot of land in Chestnut Ridge. It's been mostly empty for a while save for an old barn and some overgrown land.

He passed on this land to you and you've decided to scoop up what meger savings you had to try and follow your dream of running a little ranch. You manage to buy a horse and throw a sleeping bag down in the barn to start your new life.

To get started with this challenge you may:

-Start with a max of $4k simoleons (if you want to have more fun use a number randomizer 1-4000 to see how many funds you have)

-Start with at least a covered stall for your horse as well as some prairie grass (can build a barn for yourself, but don't give yourself any amenities beyond a roof over your head and a stall for your horse)

-Have a sleeping bag

-Pick whatever lot you want

-You may either bring a horse in from CAS or buy a horse in game (the cost of which you can dis-clude from your starting funds if you'd like)

*The goals of the challenge:*

-Earn up money to build your ranch into your dream ranch strictly via horse or nectar based means.

-Breed a strong lineage of foals, keeping at least one from your first horse to be the next in the lineage once your first passes

-Earn at least 10 gold medals in horse competitions

-Complete the Championship Rider aspiration

I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes this gate was compatible with this fence, and while there is cc out there to make the gate bigger, I personally wanted to keep it 2 tile wide, so here's a quick and easy tutorial to force this gate into looking how you want, accessible to people who know exactly One (1) TOOL command (dont worry me too)

What you need:

Horse ranch (obviously)

Twisted Mexi's TOOL mod [here]

The pillar I used* comes from growing together (below), but you can use whatever you have available, as long as you're fine with the gate posts being bigger than the fence posts. Note that from close up the original posts may poke through a little, but it's easy to ignore.

*Can't confirm if the colours match decently to any other fence swatch, as I only used the black fence.

To start off with, you obviously have to place down the gate where you want it. You can add in your pillars now, or after you've raised the gate. Now toggle TOOL with Shift + T.

To lift the gate, select it and use the elevate command. (If, like me, you've never touched TOOL before deciding you want to fix this gate, you'll know it's selected when it's green and seethrough.) Type in ".3" to raise the gate in line with the top of the fence. Unless you wanna mess with smaller decimals anything higher is too high, and if you wanna go lower that's personal preference.

Now, onto the pillars. If you haven't whacked em down already, place your pillars onto either side of the gate, and select with tool. From my (limited) personal experience selecting and deselecting pillars with tool is a little finicky and its easy to accidentally move them, and if that happens just undo.

Again, we're using the elevate command, but in reverse to lower the pillars. In order to get them flush with the height of other fence posts, type in "-1.5". Making the command negative will lower the object. Make sure you do this on both pillars, obviously.

Now, with all of that done, you should be able to exit tool mode and have a beautiful gate that spites EA's gate sizing.

Cheers!

Might I be so bold as to introduce you to this stunner of a stallion? Please bow your heads to the one and only R&DR Push Past Envy - or as we're calling him, Roscoe. You don't get a picture of this horse and not think that he knows you're mesmerized.
