Fun fact about goats and horses. Some horses that are anxious or lonely actually are given a "companion goat" that functions as an emotional support animal. Horses, being highly intelligent and emotional, can become VERY attached to their goats. Other animals like ponies, sheep, cats, and dogs are also used as emotional support for horses, but goats are the most common to my knowledge.

Not exactly. Depends on the foal. Remember: us humans have bred horses for THOUSANDS of years! Think of it like dogs: we made them what they are to be of service to us. I've seen plenty of breeders not have to get all handsy with a foal for them to approach them. In fact, some horse people are completely against getting all handsy with a foal right away and instead wait for the foal to approach them whenever possible. This is to allow mom and baby to bond for the first weeks of life. THEN they proceed to work with the foal gradually, which is important so that the foal has an early foundation. It's important for a horse's survival to have the basics down as soon as possible.

Horse genetics are pretty simple colorwise but your specifics are off. Now if we get into actually "white" horses which are cremello and perlino they are actually double dilutes and the number of dilute genes they have kinda muffles the color. A chestnut with one dilute becomes a palomino, with 2 a cremello. So I'm not sure what you are calling brown (I'd assume bay but maybe you mean a buckskin (?) since that's a bay one dilute gene but I'd hardly call buckskin "brown")

As you said, there are probably way more detailed gens about horses fur as there is with a lot of other animals. For an example, White cants don't truly exists as a coded fur gen per se.

He'll they even could have added a new sort of feature where the horses were also required to level up in 1 or 2 of the new horse skills to progress in the career. Like equestrian career horses might have to focus more on agility, and the rodeo horses might focus on endurance. Both horse might have to level up in jumping, and temperment until the sim has to pick a career path. I was so excited, and since it was an expansion, I thought it would come with a new career like that. I'm incredibly disappointed it doesn't.

I think rodeo would have to have some kind of athletic ability in addition to the riding ability. Don’t quite remember what the athletic skills were in game. It’s been a while since I opened it. But def athletics would be involved, imo.

It was a rabbit hole, alright. The meaning of "rabbit hole" is different when applied to Sims 4 and used by simmers. It is not an adventure or a hidden side quest. They are places that your sim disappears into and you are unable to follow them or interact with anything pertaining to this "adventure" Well, you can click on a screen that pops up. The special cave? I'm sure you were very disappointed as you should've been. Oh and the community board that offers you jobs, such as teaching other Sims to ride horses. Or- OMG! Leading a guided tour, like irl horseback riding?? You and your horse will guide townies riding their horses through this beautiful world oh God damn it, you can't do that either!!! You just disappear and reappear seconds later with money! 😡🤬🤬😡

i can FINALLY put my Arthur Morgan and Jack Marston sims I downloaded awhile back to good use. i honestly can't wait, i wanna have the whole van der linde gang and their custom horses riding around and causing a ruckus. and i wanna make Valentine. and their Horseshoe Overlook camp. i'm getting ahead of myself here but i am just REEEAAAALLY excited for this pack hahaha.

I haven't even looked at the horses. I've been too busy playing with the mini sheep and mini goats! They're just too cute to exist! I love how the goats will scream and faint if the fox alarm goes off on the chicken coop! It's adorable and hilarious!

I'M SO RELIEVED we can get milk and wool from the goats and the sheep! They didn't mentioned that in the videos, I was thinking they were just adorable pets.

Im so excited for this pack, just i wish that you could take care of sick horses with the vet skill from Cats & Dogs. I think it would have blended nicely

Please use critical thinking skills to determine if a product is being pushed by someone with a bias.

Sorry but this EP is just lacking. No new career, lot type, woohoo location, death type, no pool tables, mechanical bulls, no other crafts (e.g. pottery seems to fit in this pack), not enough Native American representation. And you can’t have multiple generation families with cats/dogs and horses, because of the 8 sim slot. I hope they fix at least that in the base game!

Just a hunch as an interior designer I’m pretty sure the barn doors meant for the outdoor use are the ones that match and that first one seems like it’s got the hardware on the top like you would see on an indoor barn slider

Wait the horses have baby bumps when pregnant???? that is SO adorable i'm gonna cry

22:43 translation: I got given it for free so I don’t care if y’all have to pay $40 or $20 dollars , suck it up

I understand you saying this wouldn't fit as a Game Pack but let's not forget that Werewolves is a Game Pack and that has a tonne of stuff in it. It's great that they included a bit of the Native elements, which makes it so much more disappointing that it's "yeehaw" - reminds me of a 'Cowboys and Indians' situation which didn't work out so great.. probably would have been best to not include it at all? Kind of like the Unicorns..

i was going to purchase this pack regardless of the review, i want horses THAT bad, but seeing this makes me so much happier. Seems to be a lot of stuff to do, im so excited

I'm assuming the embargo for the pack only lifted today, which is why everyone is posting their reviews, but I really think EA has shot themselves in the foot leaving it so late. A lot of people have been unimpressed with this pack so far and showed concerns over the level of content for the price of an EP. But I think the marketting has been exceptionally poor. Why am I just learning about all these little details now? This should have been shown off a week ago! That 'live'stream was a complete waste of time and I think actively harmed this pack's reputation even prior to release.

I was suspicious about the pack from the little amount of information it felt they were showing. They really did not show really any of the horse gameplay outside of surface level "look! a horse!" and if I am blunt, the CAS actually made me hesitant as it feels very similar to CAS items we have already in some other packs to an extent. Before Simsie's video, I was against the idea of buying it but maybe someday down the road I'll get it on sale. The entirety of the Sims 4 is already well over-priced in my eyes, so I really can no longer justify buying all the packs full price. There have been far worse packs and this pack actually made me question Cottage Living more..

If they solved the color wheel for that, I can't imagine why they didn't do it for literally everything. They did in in Sims 3.... it is not that big of a business... it is like stepping back 2 steps, without open world and color wheel..... :D (And it is just top of the iceberg of what problems we have. )

Loved the nectar making in sims 3 I think it came with the pack that you traveled in France! So glad they brought it back

Ok so in the sims 3 I had a sim (I think she was a gardner, I remember a very big yard with plants) and with this sim I got 5 unicorns that would walk around setting every neighboor front yard on fire I played that save for the only purpose of setting shit on fire with my unicorn army of doom and I'm very sad I won't be able to do that in sims 4 (Unless someone makes a mod idk)

Disagree that Horse Ranch has more content than Cottage Living when the latter has llamas, cows, bunnies, simple living challenge, village fairs, canning, cross-stitching, village quests, oversized produce and more. Horse ranch has horses, goats, sheep and nectar-making but has no new deaths or woohoo spots, nothing for kids other than a reskinned dollhouse, no new careers, no way to create custom obstacle courses, etc. Not saying the horses aren't in-depth but the pack is lacking smaller details that even TS3 Pets managed to include.

There is no way this should have been an expansion pack. There just isn't enough game play. And not really anything is being expanded.

I was a little worried after not hearing much about this pack but after watching your review on it, it made me SO much more excited for it than I thought I’d be. Like I can’t wait to get it tomorrow (Thursday) and I’m sure as heck gonna be playing with it endlessly LMAO

Do goats/sheeps grow? Not at all, I bet. CAS is ridiculously BLAND, horrible hats, REUSED HAIRS from bg and other packs (look among Cats&Dogs and Laudry/Eco Lifestyle). Female's rompers/dresses are nice at least. Build items lack, AS USUAL, the complete three heights matching pieces. You said that too, lots are small and, honestly, paying just for horses that can roam in one or two neighborhoods is just an impossible thing to do, it's a scam. Also, what are those floating things at 14:16? 🤦🏻‍♂

This was a fun video! I am excited for this pack despite being afraid of horses irl because of an experience I had with them as a child. I’ve calm down some but the fear is there just not as big. They are beautiful though.

I kinda wonder how an apartment horse let’s play would go? Definitely not something that could or should happen irl.
