Rye is dying to be ranch grandad, he's learned what's really important after a life in the spotlight!! I hope he gets to move in soon or on the bigger ranch. And maybe go back to his treehouse roots...
Lilies are definitely in the seasonal summer pack. I had Harvestfest in game last night while watching the last episode and opened one pack - got three lilies and laughed like a drain.
i opened like 20 summer plant packets (2 of which i got from gnomes, the rest i bought) and out of all of them i got 3 lilies. the spawn rate for these things is so ridiculous and not worth the money spent on them, may as well go find them out in the world
What I like about James as a creator is that his enthusiasm is such that each series feels likes he’s discovering the game for the first time even though he’s a veteran 😂
Poor Oak forever banned from one fire 😂 I could see auntie Quinn plan a stay over to “help” Lady with the farm but constantly talk up Oak in hopes to patch things up between her kids and their favorite cousin
I purchased a $1K horse, worked for all gold “competish” awards and maxed all their skills. Currently worth $43K and they’re 4 days from aging to elder so I’m breeding them one last time before retiring them and letting them continue living their best life. I’m loving this LP and learning from you as well! Horse Ranch is easily my favorite of all SIMS4 content.
Great episode! You could get a patchy to help you with gardening. If you interact enough with patchy, they come to life and help you with the plants! You can also check pocket for seeds for more havestables. I usually get lucky with uncommon plants hehe
yeah in real life an automatic pet feeder is electric. It might technically be possible to make one that is clockwork (using springs and cogs and a handle you turn regularly to wind up the spring, the way clocks used to work before we had electricity), but it makes sense that it uses electricity in sims.
I laughed SO hard when James realized they had traveled with him 😂 he’s like “WHAT! HOW DID TOU GET HERE?!” And I’m literally rolling on the ground laughing cause idk either
Two glitches I’ve noticed: first when a foal nurses on a mare, they will drain their hunger really quickly. Even if they have food nearby, your horse can go from good hunger to starving and be taken immediately. The second thing I noticed is eventually the horses stop playing with the horse ball, even when you ask them to, you have to delete the ball and place a new one to fix it. Loving the play through so far!
@@babybonesxd4810 think he is growing carrots, but still I half expected him to say something on them lines, if he is growing carrots, he may do it in the next episode
About the death of the sheeps, one of my favorite cuties passed and I got devasted. Ok, life goes on. Then I get to town to sell some nectar and she appeared out of nowhere. I was so happy, the first time that a bug didn't make me angry 😅
I swear that walk thing is true and I just realized it like this week during my own horse ranch game! My ranch fam adopted one of the stray dogs in the game and I was like "wow it's wild this dog never wants a walk this is dope." decided after about two sim weeks to give her a walk for fun and then sure enough the dog now has a leash thought bubble every single day now.
I know it’s a bug, but I want horse getting loose to be an intentional sims hidden “feature” because goats are notorious for being tricky lil guys to keep haha.
Watching James with this pack was so much fun, I decided to buy it. After establishing a nice ranch I decided my sim should have a baby and get a romantic partner. Got my sim pregnant but her boyfriend died before I could move him in and she had twins. My sim no longer has time to do anything on the ranch (even with a ranch hand and occasional nannies). Some of the animals left and it’s exhausting trying to meet the needs of the 2 infants. LOL.
Just get a vitality nectar and resurrect your boyfriend. ;) I am playing as an evil sim. My idea is to seduce Gooseman, and make an enemy to torment, though I am not sure who to choose.
@@HereIAm247 that would have been a great thing to do if I wasn’t just struggling to keep the infants and animals alive! The twins are toddlers now, so I’m rebuilding my livestock inventory. There will be no more (human) kids in this generation!
My sim got a boyfriend with a horse that I moved in and I’m waiting untill I get both horses to win a championship competitions, then I will be breeding the horses at the same time as getting my sim pregnant and THEN my sim and her horses can be mamas together.😂
Maybe an outdoor fireplace in your barn? The metal snowy escape one could be good, or the metal stove one that came with horse ranch? Help warm up the space even though it’s “outside”?
The horses interjecting themselves into sim's task feels like the problem with sim's freezing. The horse's wants seem to try and override all other sim tasks. On a side note, one of my horses gets Social Bunny alerts, and I can't turn off their SB app because horses can't use phones. 😂
yeah there's so much to do on a farm. In real life it's rare for a single person to manage the farm by themsevles, a family running it together is much more common.
They're dappled bays! My qh is dapple bay, depending on the time of year, when his undercoat is shedding. I think its his Appaloosa blood showing thru. Maybe flame has some appy in her bloodlines... ooo they are known for being too smart and thus difficult sometimes. I like this explanation a lot.
Move the peepee bush closer to the sheep/goat area so it's on the other side of the lot from the outhouse. Then it would actually be convenient to use it sometimes
My kid and I were watching the last episode together and yelling at the screen when you were naming Hugo "BLUEY BIGWALLET WAS RIGHT THERE JAMES!!!" So we're glad for the vindication XD
‼️Gardening glitch fix ‼️ When you travel outside your lot and your plants reset, drag them into your household inventory. When you place them back on your lot, they return to being fully grown. This worked on my save. Hope it helps 😊
Thank you James for all of the consistent content , this series is very entertaining but if I can make a suggestion it would be great if Rhy comes along for the ride especially in his last days , I know he is proud of Lady
I didn't notice what season it is but if HarvestFest is coming soon, stock up on gnomes. The more gnomes you have, the more seed packs you will get. Be sure to appease them early and stay home that day. And yes, Lady's first daughter should definitely be named Lily.
Just so you know horses with the Free Spirit trait like Basil do not like being indoors or even under a roof. So you should probably put a horse bed for him out in the open. That’s what I had to do for mine :/
With the barn, there are those big open barn doors from the pack in build mode you can use, so the barn is still always open but it counts as inside so it’ll be nice and warm!
As someone that lives out in the country in the US, you having to walk out the front gate to use the phone is actually realistic. I remember growing up I had to walk up and down my driveway to call my boyfriend on the phone. Cell signal in the country is spotty and so I find this hilarious with the "off the grid" part.
Me: having a hard day (got corona, didn't think this would be a thing today...), Seeing the smiling horse and listen to you ... First time smiling today! 😊 25:56
you should have a wall in the barn with horse photos and the awards they won! so you can keep track of all lady's... ahem. the horses' accomplishments. esp if she's going to be breeding and selling them, we dont want anyone forgotten 🐴🧡
Been having issues with locks. Have chickens and horses roaming the house. One of the horses got stuck in the bathroom, so had to use cheats to reset him. 😆
For some reason, the locks have been broken since the patch update, at least for me. When you select new ones, they don't add but instead replace the previous one, which I'm prrrrretty sure didn't happen before!
When I had it only locked for goats and sheep mine worked fine. As soon as I added lock for horses it broke. So I did it like James. Lock for all, allow household and ranch hand.
"It's birth time! Why does it have to be night time? I kinda wish this happened during the daytime, when it wasn't raining" said every farmer ever! 😂😂🤣
James you should plan an event using the new pack event options for having an animal care party. Then invite all of Lady’s family over to see her ranch and meet her animals!
I found that my horses never had the cooped up pop up because we took daily rides around our neighbourhood. Also great to build the endurance, it’s the only skill I have at level 10 so far :)
Lady’s child, presuming she has one in the future, should DEFINITELY be called Lily
That’s perfection
Yes!!!!! That would be amazing 😊
That’s what I thought last episode
Did we not have already a lily on seasons? I'm not sure, but I could swear we already had a Lily Bigwallet at some point
Especially if he's a boy.
It's the smoke detector that's using power! It took me forever to find out in my game too!
I really hope he sees this lol
Never would have guessed 😮
what's worse - constant notifications about power surplus, or your desert home being a fire hazard lol
bump!
@@cortneyhehelet it burn!!!!!!
I'm sorry but Baahtuu and Horse showing up randomly was hilarious
James saying "if my sheep is here..." and then a filthy Baahtuu strolling into the background was perfect lmao
I know, I saw baahtuu was there too I laughed out loud. That was hilarious. 😂
I imagine them getting there like the old Homeward Bound movies
It was 😂😂😂
Flame getting mad at basil during birth is so relatable 😂😂
True! Me in the hospital while my husband thought it would lighten the mood if he made some jokes. Just stfu and hold my hand 😂
Now you need a scraggly barn cat.
"Not now Rye" is the motto for this Let's Play.
That and "not now Oak"😂
He's literally shown up every time something big is happening on the ranch. It's sweet but also a smidge helicoptery lol.
@@ivonne_lauexcept it’s more “never with you Oak!!”
As is it family tradition 🙏
Rye is dying to be ranch grandad, he's learned what's really important after a life in the spotlight!! I hope he gets to move in soon or on the bigger ranch. And maybe go back to his treehouse roots...
Honestly the goat and sheep getting out of their pen and just wandering around is the true rural experience
100% this. Goats especially are notorious for getting out of containment!
My family kept chickens, but at least once a week we'd have to return a specific goat to our neighbor. Her name was Sugar and she hated me.
Horse reminds me of the Roomba from cottage living. Always found a way to get out of where it's supposed to be.
one of the best things ever
Flame should totally have a foal with Duke Silver, I mean, Gooseman!
Yes! Prime breeding material that horse!❤
Lilies are definitely in the seasonal summer pack. I had Harvestfest in game last night while watching the last episode and opened one pack - got three lilies and laughed like a drain.
so lilys ARE on the seasonal summer pack they just don’t like James! Gotcha
@lauraallan6412 took them all and none were left for James 🤣
When James gets a lily he should make a holiday to commemorate it
It should be as legendary as Orchid Day.
i opened like 20 summer plant packets (2 of which i got from gnomes, the rest i bought) and out of all of them i got 3 lilies. the spawn rate for these things is so ridiculous and not worth the money spent on them, may as well go find them out in the world

What I like about James as a creator is that his enthusiasm is such that each series feels likes he’s discovering the game for the first time even though he’s a veteran 😂
“Why does this have to happen at nightime? Can’t this just happen during daytime - when it’s not raining?“ - every horse owner ever 😂😂
Your ranch hand had the cheek to quit when all she did was hug a chicken and ignore the horse crap around the place 😂😂😂
Going for a ride helps with fun for both the horse and the sim. It also builds the endurance skill.
"Not now Rye" & "You can't be here, we're estranged" is the equivalent of Sister Sister's "Go Home Roger" 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Oh love this!
GO HOME RODGER🤣
@@telepathicmagicshop my favorite part from the entire series!
😂😂😂😂
The toilet and bathtub also have the turn off utility usage options
yeah but that's water. he wants to use water because he is collecting water.
Yes, I wanted to comment the same. Maybe for some Sims logic reason, they use power too. 😅
Poor Oak forever banned from one fire 😂 I could see auntie Quinn plan a stay over to “help” Lady with the farm but constantly talk up Oak in hopes to patch things up between her kids and their favorite cousin
yes, this tracks
I vote for a stayover! Free help at the ranch!!!
I purchased a $1K horse, worked for all gold “competish” awards and maxed all their skills.
Currently worth $43K and they’re 4 days from aging to elder so I’m breeding them one last time before retiring them and letting them continue living their best life.
I’m loving this LP and learning from you as well! Horse Ranch is easily my favorite of all SIMS4 content.
Could we name the hen Eggatha? Like Agatha crumplebottom 😂
Basil smiling was honestly the cutest thing 😂😂
Great episode! You could get a patchy to help you with gardening. If you interact enough with patchy, they come to life and help you with the plants! You can also check pocket for seeds for more havestables. I usually get lucky with uncommon plants hehe
Such a good idea!
in the spirit of embracing the chaos, i feel like the cat hangout trait would be a great addition to this series :D
"Hey! Stop throwing out my manure!"
"Why is the manure just everywhere?!"
😂
If I'm not mistaken, the auto pet feeder [on the porch], has a power consumption rating.
that would explain a lot on my household lol
bro seriously. i have like 3 in my main house rn. that like bothers me lmao
bump
yeah in real life an automatic pet feeder is electric. It might technically be possible to make one that is clockwork (using springs and cogs and a handle you turn regularly to wind up the spring, the way clocks used to work before we had electricity), but it makes sense that it uses electricity in sims.
bumping so James sees
You thought Flame was judging you, but at least she didn't try to find you like the mini animals did 😂
I laughed SO hard when James realized they had traveled with him 😂 he’s like “WHAT! HOW DID TOU GET HERE?!” And I’m literally rolling on the ground laughing cause idk either
@@sabrinadamron2332 me too! 🤣
You shoud breed Flame with Duke, now that you introduced yourself you can just invite him over, wich is kinda random but kinda useful.
Honestly not that random, could easily be justified by saying Lady and Duke's owners arranged for duke for a stud visit

Flame going to Basil and yelling at him while in Labor was the greatest thing 😂👌🏼

Bluey is my sons favorite show!!! You said bluey and he goes “Bluey? Bluey! Mama, Bluey!” 🥺❤️
My boy loves it too, I'm positive he would've reacted the same way if he was watching this with me.
its one of my favorite shows too! (i'm 25 with no kids yet lmao its just a really great show)
It's the only show my 3 year old and 6 year old will ever agree to watch together. Thank God for Bluey.
It’s my kids favourite show and my husband and I watch it by ourselves😂😂
My 2 year old daughter is watching bluey as I'm watching this!
If memory serves, you can also get a lily from the romance festival
There is one, but it won’t be in season now 🥲
He doesn't need the flower, he could use the plant to get a splice for grafting.
From Agnes stand also
He said in the beginning of the episode that he doesn't want to do that
@@vaskikissa I wrote that prior to him mentioning it
"I think I have to keep eating this now." Puts a new twist on committing to a bit. That was pretty funny.

@@MsMostDepressed reread OP's comment like 7 times, forgetting the same. Thanks for inadvertently reminding me lmao.
After calling a Sim "Plantain" or "Column", nothing name-related shocks me anymore. Bluey and Horse fit in beautifully in this family.
is the wine aging well since it's considered "outside" with how the cellar was built?

Sandalwood.
See if there’s any weird interactions involving werewolves in this pack and fork that side of the family tree back into the story.
yeah there's so much to do on a farm. In real life it's rare for a single person to manage the farm by themsevles, a family running it together is much more common.
Agreed
Doing pushups over a stinking horse bed would probably motivate me to keep pushing up.
Just me laughing because James said he locked it for all mini animals… but the mini goat found the loophole… it wasn’t locked for horses 😂

Mellow makes temperament on horses go up much faster but they gain skills much slower on everything else
Rye showing up all the time means he wants to move to the ranch to help, also going out to meet some new people besides family might be good for Lady.
Horse and Baatoo arriving at the bar KILLED ME 😂
Move the peepee bush closer to the sheep/goat area so it's on the other side of the lot from the outhouse. Then it would actually be convenient to use it sometimes
But he bought it for Hugo..!
He did
If you get Bluey's Temperament skill to level 6 before he ages up he will get an extra trait when he ages up to an adult.

And yes, Lady's first daughter should definitely be named Lily.
I appeased the gnomes during harvestfest and got a bunch of seed packets and got lilies right away 😂 from summer packets
You should see if CAS has options for the horses to wear blankets during winter! that's what we do IRL

I think James wanted it open so it wouldn't take away from the tiny home bonuses.

"Need a tub for my dog...."
Hell, you've got the nectar tub. Think of the unique flavors!
Stop playing! You just gave me the best idea ever, 100 horse baby challenge. I'm about to go write up the rules now. Thanks, James!
You can find lilies at the flower stand in Tartosa! They sell single flowers to plant not just wedding bouquets.
To keep with the Bluey theme, a great future horse baby name would be Bandit, Bingo, or Chili.
"It's birth time! Why does it have to be night time? I kinda wish this happened during the daytime, when it wasn't raining" said every farmer ever! 😂😂🤣
James you should plan an event using the new pack event options for having an animal care party. Then invite all of Lady’s family over to see her ranch and meet her animals!
The problem with the locks is every time you hit "lock for [blank]" it resets the lock to ONLY the option you chose last.
It would be fun to organize a ranch day/animal day event with the family! It's another way of getting some money
I love love love this this lp so much. Every time u post a new episode I get so excited
naming the new baby horse bluey made me so happy :3 i love bluey it’s such a great show with good lessons. thanks to everyone who suggested it
If I recall correctly, ranch hands will only pick up manure if you specifically ask them to under the "Ranch hand" interactions.
I’m pretty sure the lock for sheep, lock for chickens, etc overwrite each other - so only the last one you pick applies
Gave the Challenge a try, and my ranchhand’s keeps dying in the blizzards 😂
I lost it when horse and batuu decide to join the training session 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn the horses don’t even lie down when they go into labor the foal just gets yeeted from the sky that’s metal af
Clearly the goat is getting out bc the gates unlocked for horses.
I legit am having a hard time waiting for each new episode! I'm loving this soooooooooo much!
Really hope that the name Bojack for Bojack Horseman can get incorporated somehow
I think the nectar is taking so long to age because your cellar is technically outside according to the game, not in a basement.
I found that my horses never had the cooped up pop up because we took daily rides around our neighbourhood. Also great to build the endurance, it’s the only skill I have at level 10 so far :)
Honestly, Bluey is one of the best kid TV show I’ve ever seen. My hubby and I love watching it with the kids, as parents, it’s a very relatable show.
