because of the editing of this video, i realised i missed off talking about some of the bugs and glitches i saw (re-recorded my voice and forgot i hadn’t mentioned it in the new recording) BUT i had one pretty bad bug where my sim would get on the horse and then spawn off it and be standing again. it did it repeatedly until i closed the game and restarted (but it allowed me to save and everything). then my sim got trapped in a competition and were shadowed out as if they were away from the lot even though the comp had finished and my horse was back, but again i was able to save and reload and it fixed it. those were the two main issues i ran into other than the horse routing being a bit funky sometimes with them walking in circles and walking through large objects in the world and the ranch hand issues i mentioned
they age up automatically after about a week on normal lifespan (not sure about the length of the others) or you can feed them an age up treat from the corner shop
Awesome that you can check a horse's needs by hovering over them with the cursor. Hopefully Cats and Dogs gets updated to allow the same for our pets, but I'm not holding my breath.
The panel that shows horses traits, skills, age, race and more also could be adapted for cats and dogs. It's a pain remember all this info after a really long time!
Yes! My thoughts exactly. We definitely need the hover over for needs with cats & dogs. Also I'd love them to adapt the farmhand into a pet sitter/dog walker for the pets we already have. I've tried playing with multiple dogs & it's near impossible to care for them + do anything else for your sims & they run away so quickly.
I just get this weird feeling that this was originally meant to be a GP and the budget got out of hand, so they had to make the decision to either bulk it up to an EP or cut a lot of what would’ve made Horses fun. I just think some of the creative decisions like adding Nector (even if it’s fun) don’t make sense for this world and the theme. Would also have liked to have seen more Native American rep, but I think the Snowy Escape issues had an effect on doing that more directly.
@@Forget-Me-Not_Nursery There was some controversy over different aspects of the cultural representation in that pack having to do with some religious practices and some symbols that were highly problematic and offensive to Korean players for various historical and cultural reasons. I don’t want to get into it too much because it is a complicated issue and I’m not part of either culture, but if you Google Snowy Escape and controversy you will find more info.
@alison247mitzy2 thank you for explaining. I could see how easily that could happen with us too, I'm Alaskan Native. They could have expanded on wood working to add wall decor for your home. I don't see how that could be controversial. Not even all of what they add has to be for Native Americans, so you could choose according to what ethnicity your sim is. Plus, tourists buy our carvings and jewelry all the time, so it wouldn't even be offensive that non-natives had Native carvings in their home. They could add a radio station for us by working with A Tribe Called Red. Or Air Jazz, a rapper from Junea, AK who raps in Tlingit. A language that is on the verge of being extinct with only 200 fluent speakers alive today. They could give us tribal tattoos like they did for Islanders in Island Living. I want (1,2, or 3) lines on the chins on my female Native sims to represent the multiple tribes in Alaska that have this tradion, including the tribe I am part of. I also want face paint of a red hand print over the mouth to share awareness for our missing and murdered indigenous women and children. Which is essentially a holiday to us at this point. It's called orange shirt day. It also honors the children who never made it back from the residential schools. I myself am only alive today because my grandmother made it home. They could even make us a very specific orange shirt for that occasion. They could actually make weaving a thing. Instead of just giving us a non-active object in knifty knitting. I'd love to make cedar hats, bow ties, baskets, and more. Insents are already in the game. They could give us the ability to burn sage to cleanse our homes with it. We even sage the groom and bride at the altar before the wedding. They could even give us more appropriate attire to wear during the wedding like buck skin dresses with beading and moccasins. Or seal skin dress and actual Native jewelry. Again, this should not be offensive to us if a non-native wears the jewlery because we sell them. Alaskan Natives depend on fish and so many other things from the sea. There isn't even a fishing spot in this world. They could give us the ability to jar smoked salmon with the canning from Cottage Living. None of this is making us worship totem poles or something that we don't actually do that would be offensive. These things just give us representation. And none of this is directed at you. It's for the Sims team if they ever see it. I know I'll never see a drumming circle or see women performing in jingle dresses or hear my sim sing a war cry. I just want the same representation I see other cultures get in this game. While all I have is a Native Ways handmade rug, and finally got three hair styles and a chili.
The nectar thing definitely couldve been part of a pack thats heavily inspired by italian or french culture since those are like the biggest wine makers in the industry. I think moonshine making wouldve fit more than wine/"nectar" but it's sims after all and they're keeping it family friendly.
i think it's really interesting that when you rescue a horse they have more difficult traits ! a really cool cross-compatibility feature which i'd love (but i'm not holding my breath for) is that if you have growing together, and the horse leans more toward a different positive trait, you get that same "self-discovery" popup asking if their trait should change. would be even better if that could be the case for cats and dogs traits too. again, i doubt they'd actually add that but i thought i'd share the idea
The inclusion of nectar making in this pack is oddly random as the world looks desert like which doesn’t seem suited for vineyards and nectar cellars. The world of Tartosa or even Windenberg would have made more sense and a better fit than Dude Ranch world.
I wish they changed the game so the pets was kinda like an add on like they don't take over a family member slot cause I personally like making big families but 2 to more slots will be taken over by horses/cats/dogs I wish they didnt get to take over the family member slot and they just had a little picture like in the slot but above the family so you can grow your family but still have pets
I like how informative you are in the review. You give us insights in what to do with all the new gameplay. This is very helpful to see before diving in.
I love the painted horse sculpture in front of the equestrian center because it feels like a nod to Lexington, KY which is a place I have been multiple times
I like that the aspirations are actually difficult they do resemble TS3 which i prefer, most of the time the aspirations are kinda annoying with all the ministeps, I like to have big difficult tasks/goals rather than mini ones, it makes it more freeing to get there instead of having to complete so many things in between, thank god there's a mod that fixes the aspirations and adds new ones, but it's good that they went back to TS3 formula
Imagine if they had also made ponies just for kids to ride, but the kids could do everything with them, including entering junior championships (you know, like in real life). They could have had a Riding Club that they go to after school to improve their skill, and then they could do competitions on the weekends.
I loved how when we watched the teasers you was complaining about "Not another board." However through out this video you've mentioned how useful it is multiple times.
RDR2 made me super into cowboys and horses and all that good stuff, so I’m super hyped for this pack! I hope my favourite horse breed (the North Swedish Horse, a traditional Swedish working horse) is included, if not I guess I’ll have to recreate it.
I was initially excited to see different breeds (my favorite being the gypsy cob) but I'm sad that all the horses seem to have the same model without major differences like height or weight. 😭
@@NathalieCwiekSwiercz ja, nordsvensk brukshäst, den är min favorit 😊 rider inte själv eller så, men jag tycker den är väldigt fin till utseendet och om jag hade haft en häst hade jag velat ha en sån.
The town is so deserted. I don't see people walking about like in cottage living. They should call it a western "ghost town". Lol couldn't help myself.
Honestly, one of my biggest complaints is not actually being able to train kids to ride horses. That seems like a miss. Some of the other rabbit hole experiences are fine. I am not against rabbit holes or loading screens entirely, but when they stand in/interrupt a missed opportunity it's frustrating.
Thank you for making this video! I was wondering why there are milestones in this pack? And also the Self Discovery traits feature? 27:11 I thought that were features only for Growing Together. However, i'm glad that there are new milestones.
so for some reason growing together was still installed on my early access build (i think i messed up with files). so those are still growing together exclusive features, but if you have both growing together and horse ranch this is the sort of cross-pack you'll see. i'm so used to seeing them in my game that i fully forgot to point that out in the video.
There is no magic circle? There was an early comment about a circle and Native / Indigenous people. I saw nothing in your review so it must have gone the way of the unicorn down the rabbit-hole of doomed ideas. So we can just use the pack as an extension of cottage living. Setup a farm with produce. Fill it with cows chickens LLamas and the mico-fuana of the wild gulch lands. Hire a handy guy with 2 day work visa to take care of the your animal herd. I see lots of potential gameplay.
my guess is they gave us aesthetic unicorns now and will give us proper unicorns in a later pack (fairies maybe 👀👀), the same way they gave us aesthetic foxes with cats and dogs and then gave us proper foxes in cottage living.
Im having a horse of course because yay! But i want a vineyard so bad! I could have had one but grapes arent worth loads but i can now have an actual vineyard and wineary ❤❤
I know it's the bare minimum but I'm pleasantly surprised this EP most likely comes with bearable amount of bugs which doesn't seem to be gamebreaking and can probably be fixed. The pre-recorded livestream and late "early" access gave me a scare. I'm glad to see EA most likely didn't release another completely broken pack.
i fully forgot to mention it but i had one pretty bad bug where my sim would get on the horse and then spawn off it and be standing again. it did it repeatedly until i closed the game and restarted (but it allowed me to save and everything). then my sim got trapped in a competition and were shadowed out as if they were away from the lot even though the comp had finished and my horse was back, but again i was able to save and reload and it fixed it. those were the two main issues i ran into other than the horse routing being a bit funky sometimes with them walking in circles and walking through large objects in the world and the ranch hand issues i mentioned
@@EnglishSimmerThank you for describing these bugs at least here in the comments! 🧡 I'm considering buying the pack early (haven't done this before) so knowing stuff like this will definitely help me decide. I will wait for a few more days at least for sure, even though I would love to have horses in my game & the new world is right up my alley because of the western books I used to read as a child. :D ^^
I know you didn't have the other packs but do you know if the occult specific nectars are tied to their own occult (only vampires can make plasma nectar etc)? I really want to make all of them without needing all the occults
if i'm remembering correctly i don't think we can sell the eco lifestyle juice bc it counts it as a consumable right? so i assume this would work the same
@@EnglishSimmerright, but If i'm not wrong, the fizzy juice introduced in the eco lifestyle can spoil. And as I can see in this video, there's not a spoil countdown shown on the nectar item description. So maybe we actually will be able to sell it? But I guess the time will show.
I want unicorns :(( I love love love love animals. Basically the only thing I do in the sims 4 is build a huge mansion with 500 pets. I’m super happy about the ranch hand and I hope they will care for all animals and not just horses. But I wish we could get more animals. I’d love to see a zoo game pack where we can see exotic animals and have an animal rescue career. Plus zoo lots would add SO much gameplay
I was terrified when there was no early access vids and marketing seems to be minimal as well, no hype on Twitter by gurus. I guess it's a good strategy to be secretive, getting everyone to expect this to be Wedding Stories 2.0 and then it being ok seems like it's fantastic😂
i‘m gonna say it: this is such a clear display of ea‘s capitalist greed (not aimed at the sims team but ea itself) - they split up pets into 3 different packs (cats & dogs, cottage loving & horse ranch) - one pack that delivered all of these features for $40 is now being sold for $120 - nah it’s so frustrating and one of the reasons why i rarely play ts4 anymore. i hope the sims 5 does better on the content the team can actually put into the pack
slight correction: 4! They split it into 4 different packs. 3 Expansion packs and the infamous My first pet stuff for the rodents. And they didn't even do it well. There are still animals/pets missing. I'm so annoyed. -.-
This was very informative , Thank You. Until I watched this video I didn;'t know water troughs were not really functional. I will save Space & Simoleans . #DeGroovy
ye i forgot to mention but the horses can change moods. it doesn’t really do much other than change the way they are animated for example sad horses will walk a lot of the time with their heads down. and then your sims can cheer them up but a lot of the moods are just changed by the same socialisation
The pack is unplayable for me and others. Interaction bubbles are blank and items all say debug. I’m not sure what to do or who to reach out to for a possible fix. I don’t use mods so I know that isn’t it.
me too! really was hoping with the more active stuff we’ve had recently like prom and village fairs that competitions would have actually been a thing you could fully participate in and watch your sim do, especially with the barrels and jumps being RIGHT THERE. i like how the competition system works, i just wish a couple of them were active for balance
i wanna play ts4 but to get any good experience id have to cash out half the amount i paid for my pc appx i miss the sims 3. dosent wanna run on my 13th gen cpu
@@EnglishSimmer oh dang well I might buy because I never had a chance to use horses in Sims 3 because I had a Xbox version so I'm glad I can try this out on playstation
Showjumping is not a western discipline and it seems like endurance racing would be more like the cross country aspect of eventing. It’s very irritating to see western riders doing showjumping. That’s just animal cruelty to me.
they can but there's BARELY a difference. their pupils are huge and there's the slightest colour change around the very outside of the eye but you cannot make it out unless you're watching v v closely
I don’t think it’s realistic to force equestrians to master all four events in order to enter the championship. English and western riders don’t crossover with regards to riding disciplines. If they wanted to do a western pack they should have replaced showjumping with roping and endurance racing with cutting.
I want an update for dogs see the their needs and skills too. 🥲 Edit: I´m also disappointed that there are no new carries I would´ve liked to see a riding teacher carrier or even the ranch hand as a carrier (would be a nice carrier for teens).

Love that closed captions call this pack Horse Wrench
I love the painted horse sculpture in front of the equestrian center because it feels like a nod to Lexington, KY which is a place I have been multiple times
The little cavern exploration thing is such a cool detail that I wasn’t expecting at all and my dnd nerd ass can’t wait to play with it ahaha
Maxis missed the chance to have a new woohoo with the prairie grass. The Sims could roll in the hay.
Thank you so so much for your time and efforts!! I genuinely hope your wrist feels better soon 💜
Discuss possibility of Time Travel seems like a hint.... And given the quality of many of the EPs I'm actually worried about a Time Travel EP.
Just seeing sims ride horses and stroll around is already beautiful.

Write that down, modders. WRITE THAT DOWN.

"Hopefully (ranch hands) will be fixed on release." Sounds fairly optimistic. We are talking about The Sims 4 and EA.
Loving the TS references 🥰 its like a crossover episode with easter eggs
i am BEYOND excited for Horse Ranch!!!
❤
Here to!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
As an equestrian I'm extremely disappointed, there's no gameplay. No proper English riding gear and riding style.
Very comprehensive review !, Excellent 😁😁
I’m living for the taylor swift references in your video
The town is so deserted. I don't see people walking about like in cottage living. They should call it a western "ghost town". Lol couldn't help myself.
You can also get the horses fun up quickly by going for a ride! 😊
Wait that doesn’t make sense to me that they didn’t make a swim animation for the horses. Must’ve been too complicated
Definitely will name my horse Boadicea
Boadicea's chariot horses were probably named something like "Roman Cleaver" and "Skull Splitter."
Honestly, one of my biggest complaints is not actually being able to train kids to ride horses. That seems like a miss. Some of the other rabbit hole experiences are fine. I am not against rabbit holes or loading screens entirely, but when they stand in/interrupt a missed opportunity it's frustrating.
Can you share anything about why there was so little early access content for this pack?
legit have no idea. we don’t have a say in when things get released so just follow the rules when they’re announced to us
Really disappointed that the dreadhorse cavern couldn't have been something you can walk through with your horse.

You should make a zorse or create a zebra and breed with a horse and see what happens
I'm so excited to play this tomorrow evening. I plan to make my mother's old horse that was half Tenesee Walker and half American Saddle.
50 years is a long time, Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
You probably can't find out right now, but is there any crossplay with dogs and sheep? Can a dog herd the sheep and goats?
Is there cross-pack compatibility with the honey from seasons for making nectar? I would love to be able to make a mead-like nectar!
my guess is they gave us aesthetic unicorns now and will give us proper unicorns in a later pack (fairies maybe 👀👀), the same way they gave us aesthetic foxes with cats and dogs and then gave us proper foxes in cottage living.
Possibly if they add another horse pack later like they did with cats and dogs
Thank you for this video, it was very useful and put together very well
thanks so much! i’m glad it was helpful and nice to know the hard work is worth it ❤️ feel like i need to sleep for a week now tho

All I’m saying is I will be giving my horses cutie marks
I am so happy love horse 🐺❤❤❤
I’m watching all the early access and feeling so underwhelmed, but then I went and pre-ordered anyway. 🤦♀️
i‘m gonna say it: this is such a clear display of ea‘s capitalist greed (not aimed at the sims team but ea itself) - they split up pets into 3 different packs (cats & dogs, cottage loving & horse ranch) - one pack that delivered all of these features for $40 is now being sold for $120 - nah it’s so frustrating and one of the reasons why i rarely play ts4 anymore. i hope the sims 5 does better on the content the team can actually put into the pack
slight correction: 4! They split it into 4 different packs. 3 Expansion packs and the infamous My first pet stuff for the rodents. And they didn't even do it well. There are still animals/pets missing. I'm so annoyed. -.-
@@Faefire oh i totally forgot about my first pet stuff! you’re so right 💀💀
As you have to squish the nectar ingredients with your bare feed, does it matter how high your hygiene is when you do it?
not that i noticed! although u do lose hygiene as you do it
Stream speak now tv is sending me 😂😂😂
Does anyone know if a barn is a lot type that can go anywhere or if it's only in that world?
Yes
This was very informative , Thank You. Until I watched this video I didn;'t know water troughs were not really functional. I will save Space & Simoleans . #DeGroovy
Is that chuck norris? Walker texas sim😮
Can my dog follow me and my horse when going on a trail?
Now we need a mod so animals were auto search for things. lol
I'm here for "Stream Speak Now TV". The Shit 4 doesn't concern me any longer hahaha
it would be cool seeing horses swiming,but the horses cry wow
ye i forgot to mention but the horses can change moods. it doesn’t really do much other than change the way they are animated for example sad horses will walk a lot of the time with their heads down. and then your sims can cheer them up but a lot of the moods are just changed by the same socialisation
How do the horses age up???
it just depends on lifespan but you’ll just get a notification. or if you wanna age ur goals up straight away, there’s a treat sold at the food shop
watching this instead of stream cause somebody forgot about us /lh
😭 ily all i’m still working i promise!
The pack is unplayable for me and others. Interaction bubbles are blank and items all say debug. I’m not sure what to do or who to reach out to for a possible fix. I don’t use mods so I know that isn’t it.
The equestrian centre is so disappointing imo
me too! really was hoping with the more active stuff we’ve had recently like prom and village fairs that competitions would have actually been a thing you could fully participate in and watch your sim do, especially with the barrels and jumps being RIGHT THERE. i like how the competition system works, i just wish a couple of them were active for balance
@@EnglishSimmeri knew they’d cut the fun out there. Shame
I believe it was the same in Sims 3 regarding the equestrian centre.
@@herberthendrick could be, but they included cats, dogs, rodents, unicorns, … so I don’t mind it being a rabbit hole in The Sims 3
They didn’t even manage to do horse gameplay fully 😂
Not enough gameplay is the very reason i stopped playing Sims 4.
i wanna play ts4 but to get any good experience id have to cash out half the amount i paid for my pc appx
i miss the sims 3. dosent wanna run on my 13th gen cpu
It's out? Might buy
out tomorrow!
@@EnglishSimmer oh dang well I might buy because I never had a chance to use horses in Sims 3 because I had a Xbox version so I'm glad I can try this out on playstation
I wish it had a way for sims to ride horses without owning one.
oh this is actually a valid point!! like you could “hire one” from the equestrian centre. do you mind if i include this in a video?
I cant wait, I pre order it.
Where's the dressage? 😭
it’s focused on western riding and disciplines and dressage is a classic english discipline
Showjumping is not a western discipline and it seems like endurance racing would be more like the cross country aspect of eventing. It’s very irritating to see western riders doing showjumping. That’s just animal cruelty to me.
Can the horses eye color be changed?
they can but there's BARELY a difference. their pupils are huge and there's the slightest colour change around the very outside of the eye but you cannot make it out unless you're watching v v closely
@@EnglishSimmer aah okay that's bad, ty for your fast reply ^^
I don’t think it’s realistic to force equestrians to master all four events in order to enter the championship. English and western riders don’t crossover with regards to riding disciplines. If they wanted to do a western pack they should have replaced showjumping with roping and endurance racing with cutting.
That severed foot icon is really unfortunate.
And what am I going to do with the horses. Most likely nothing at all. I just wanted the world. 😊👍
0:02 is that an Arabian?
yeah! i used an arabian as my horse bc it's the horse i had in rdr2 lol
"Stream Speak Now TV" 😭
i’m so glad my artistry is being appreciated
4 more minutes!!
Alright calm down kids. You got the $40 out of me. Here's hoping that everything works right. 😊👍
Can my horse not be gay? 😞
no science babies for horses 😭
I want an update for dogs see the their needs and skills too. 🥲 Edit: I´m also disappointed that there are no new carries I would´ve liked to see a riding teacher carrier or even the ranch hand as a carrier (would be a nice carrier for teens).
