Developer Maxis and publisher Electronic Arts have announced that The Sims 4: Horse Ranch Expansion Pack is now available on PC via EA app, Mac via Origin, Epic Games Store and Steam, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One systems.
“In The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack, players can explore the rustic locale of Chestnut Ridge and curate their ideal ranch life – whether that be a barn full of animal friends or relaxing in a cabin on the open prairie, each moment is sure to feel authentic and meaningful.”
You’ll be able to choose from different ranch styles – like traditional cabin and big red barn – and you’ll have lots of options for what you can do on your land. Host dances and cookouts, invite neighbors to see how cute your mini goats and mini sheep are, make and sell your own nectar, and even hire a ranch hand to help out.
Horses are part of your Sims’ families and can be customized in Create a Sim or born as adorable foals on your ranch. You can also add new horses to your family by rescuing or purchasing them. Once horses are in your family they’ll be able to build their own skills in Agility and Jumping. When paired with the right rider a skilled horse can earn awards at the Equestrian Center, so make sure your Sims are honing their riding skills too!
However, horses are not the only addition that awaits you in Chestnut Ridge. Sims can shear the Mini Sheep and milk the Mini Goats for Simoleons, eventually inviting locals to come and see how adorable they are.
THE SIMS 4 – HORSE RANCH EXPANSION PACK FEATURES:
- Make a Life — Get up early in the morning, look out at the big open countryside, and know that all your work is worth it. Spend your days keeping your animals happy and clean, harvesting Prairie Grass to feed them, collecting Horse Manure to fertilize your plants, and making your own Nectar to sell. Do it all on a ranch you design, whether that means a traditional cabin or a big red barn.
- Bond with Animals — Fill your ranch with animal friends and carve out a life together. Your horses — including adorable foals — are part of your household and have lots of special interactions with both Sims and other horses. You can also care for mini goats and mini sheep, and invite neighbors to come see how cute they are.
- Join a Thriving Community — Living on a ranch has its moments of peace and solitude, but there’s also a lively social scene. Your Sims can go into town to meet friends at the bar, blow off steam at the dance hall, or train at the equestrian park. They can also host events like cookouts and dances on their own property, and hire a ranch hand to help when the work builds up.
- Raise Horses — Horses are part of the family. Customize hoofed friends in Create a Sim, or get new horses by rescuing or purchasing them. Foals can also be born on your ranch. Sims can learn the Riding skill, and horses can train in the Agility and Jumping skills. Skilled horses and riders can even win awards at the equestrian center.
