Mastering horse riding takes dedication and practice!
The Horse Ranch expansion pack adds both horses and the Sims 4 Horse Riding skill to the game. Building the Horse Riding skill is useful for pleasure riding but crucial for competing. The more your Sims build this skill, the more confident they’ll become on horseback, resulting in less riding mishaps and more competition wins! We’ll break down this skill for you in detail to help your Sims become the best riders in Chestnut Ridge!

Sims 4 Horse Riding Skill Guide
The Sims 4 Horse Riding skill is a major ten-level skill so you’ll need to sink quite a bit of time into it to reap all the potential benefits from this skill. The time, effort, and numerous riding-related injuries are worth it, though. Skilled riders can rake in thousands of simoleons per day at the most advanced divisions of the Equestrian Centre’s horse competitions. Your Sim will also look right at home on horseback if they’re more of the pleasure riding type.
Building the Horse Riding Skill
There’s no special trick to building the Sims 4 Horse Riding skill. All you need to do is get on a horse and start riding around! Going for trail rides and training on horse jumps and barrels all build your Sim’s Horse Riding skill, so no matter what area you’re training your horse in, your Sim will learn alongside them.
Things might not go so smoothly for an inexperienced rider, though. Your Sim may get bucked off a horse’s back and look very unsteady trying to stay seated in the saddle. For this reason, it’s best to have a horse with high Temperament skill for new riders to learn on. Horses with high Temperament skill have more patience for inexperienced riders and aren’t as likely to try and buck them off their back.
As your Sim becomes a more experienced rider, they’ll become better at staying in the saddle on a bucking horse and their overall riding posture will improve. They’ll be able to go from trotting to cantering and train more intensely on jumps and barrels. Just like in real life, the relationship between horse and rider is a partnership and building the Sims 4 Horse Riding skill is tied to the skill of your horse. The two of you will learn together as you spend more time on horseback.
Horse Riding Skill Levels
There are 10 levels to the Sims 4 Horse Riding skill, each new level unlocking new interactions, benefits, and even reward objects. We’ve broken down this skill level by level for you in the table below.

Want to know more about the new Sims 4 Splash Pads in Growing Together? Well, let’s first introduce you to Whalbert. A loveable whale friend who lives in the splash pad park in San Sequoia!
Meet Whalebert!
Of course, while Whalebert is the star of the splash pad, it actually makes a great location for your Sims of all ages to visit and have some fun!
Table of Contents
Where can I find the new Sims 4 Splash Pad in Growing Together?
The splash pad can be found in the Gilbert Gardens neighborhood. Simply head over to the Celebration Center. You’ll see the splash pad to the right-hand side of the lake just past the fishing spot.
Gilbert Gardens Splash Pad
The splash pad is a great place to go for Sims of all ages. Whether it’s playing in the water, enjoying time soaking up the sun, exploring, and making memories.
Of course, you can do more than just visit the splash pad in San Sequoia, You can make your own! Whether that is by creating your own community lot or in your Sims garden!
Growing Together Splash Pad Objects
Why not try your hand at building your own splash pad? Big or small, it really doesn’t matter as there are plenty of possibilities for creating the perfect water activity!
Growing Together: Splash Pad Objects Overview
There are a total of seven different objects that you can use to build the perfect splash pad. Each of the splash pads comes in small, medium, or large sizes and in a variety of shapes and colors.
As for adding water to the splash pad, there are three fountains you can choose from. Again there are three different styles you can choose and various colors.
Finally, why not add your own Whalebert to your splash pad? Whalebert comes in four different swatches and you can even resize Whalebert depending on how much space you have to use.
Of course, we can’t forget about the cute Splash Pad Flowers! While they are more decorative they add to the overall feel of your Splash Pad!
Splash Pad Flowers
The objects for creating a splash pad range from $100 for the smallest water fountain and up to $1050 for Whalebert.
Creating your own Splash Pad
Growing Together ultimately gives you the foundations when creating your own splash pad. If you own other packs, you unlock even more building possibilities.
However, it’s not just the range of objects additions packs give you. While this does give you more scope with how you build, what about lot types and locations? How big do you want your splash pad to be? Do your Sims only have a small amount of space to utilize? With multiple questions, it does get you thinking!
Here are a few ideas for when you are creating your own Splash Pads:
Location – Any world would be perfect to add a Splash Pad to. However, what about one in Sulani, Tartosa, or Oasis Springs?
Lot Types – Chose from a variety of lot types including a Pool, Park, and even a Recreation Center, and incorporate a Splash Pad into your build!
Lot Traits – Add lot traits to your Splash Pad Lots! Childs Play will allow your Child Sims to build their skills quicker whereas Bracing Breezes will create a more enjoyable atmosphere to exercise in.
Objects – There are plenty of objects you can use to make the ultimate Splash Pad! Take the various loungers that can be used in pools as well as seating options, play equipment, and more!
Community Creations using Growing Together
Now, we all know that our community is incredibly talented. Whether that is creating stories, Sims, or builds for the game. One build in particular that caught our attention recently is from Kate Emerald.
While Kate does use the T.O.O.L mod by TwistedMexi to create the build, the build overall is completely free of custom content. The only content it uses is already available in The Sims 4!
This incredibly detailed waterpark is the perfect place for Sims to hang out and chill as well as have some fun!

Learn everything there is to know about nectar making!
A feature that many Simmers wanted to return was the ability to make Nectar in the game! With The Sims 4 Horse Ranch, Sims are finally able to make, drink, and sell their own Nectar.
Table of Contents
The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Nectar Tools
To start making Nectar, buy a §350 Rootin’ Fruit’n Nectar Maker from the Buy Catalog. It can be found in the Outdoor Activities Section.
For storage, try adding one or more of the Rancher’s Stackable Nectar Storage Racks for §300!
Creating Your First Batch of Nectar
After purchasing the necessary equipment, it is finally time to make Nectar! Click on the Nectar Maker and two options will appear: “Purchase Basic Ingredients” and “Craft Nectar”. After using the Nectar Machine a few times, a third option will appear that allows your Sim to clean the Nectar Maker.
Nectar Making Skill
The newly added The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Nectar Making Skill has 5 Skill Levels! Unfortunately, there are no books to read to learn about the fine art of Nectar Making nor is there a Skill Class to take.

There are 13 Varieties of Nectar in total added with The Sims 4 Horse Ranch!

Moonpetal Nectar
To learn the Moonpetal Nectar recipe, a Sim needs to order Moonpetal Nectar at a bar. Moonpetal Nectar gives Werewolves an “increased sense of calm”. But, drinking too much Moonpetal Nectar can also cause the opposite effect.
Plasma Nectar
Learning the Plasma Nectar recipe is simple! Order a Plasma Nectar at a bar to receive the recipe.
This Nectar helps Vampire Sims feel “happy and refreshed”. Lightly aged or more Plasma Nectars increase a Vampire’s refreshment.
Not a vampire? All other Sims should avoid drinking Plasma Nectar.
Valerian Nectar
To unlock the Valerian Nectar recipe, order a Valerian Nectar at any bar.
This recipe makes all Sims feel happy, but with an extra kick for Spellcasters! Lightly Aged or older Nectars will have an increased effect on Spellcasters.
Vitality Nectar
This nectar recipe can be found by searching Wild Grass! Ask the Mysterious Rancher for more information.
Aging Nectars
Want better Nectar? Or increased profits? Leaving Nectar bottles for long periods of time will help them age. Storing them in a basement or cellar will help Nectar age faster. Nectar Racks increase the speed significantly faster.
Missed Opportunity
Unfortunately, The Sims 4 Horse Ranch did not add Nectar to the Dine Out Menu! Lucky for us, Icemunmun stepped up for the challenge and added the beverages into the menu. You can pick up this mod on her website!
With this new mod, you can add The Sims 4: Horse Ranch’s Nectar to the Dine Out Menu!
Compete in equestrian competitions for prestige and prize money!
Image Credit: Krista from Sims Community
Raising horses in The Sims 4 Horse Ranch can become a very profitable business if you’re willing to put the time and effort into training them for Sims 4 horse competitions. There are four different types of disciplines you and your horse can compete in at the Equestrian Centre, each with four division levels. Winning in the final division of all four competitions will allow you and your horse to compete in the Ultimate Horse Championship! Both horse and rider will need to have the skills it takes to bring home those award plaques and prize money. It’s a partnership, after all!
We’ll walk you through every competition and it’s entry requirements to help you go into the arena prepared!

Sims 4 Horse Competitions Guide
Training for Competitions
If you have an adult horse, you have a potential champion. Key word: potential. It will take a lot of work to train your horse to dominate the Sims 4 horse competitions. How do you do this? By working on your horse’s skills!
Horses have four skills and all four of them are directly tied to at least two out of the four competition disciplines. We have a more detailed guide on horse skills and how to build them here but here’s a quick breakdown.
The Jumping skill is tied to Show Jumping and Endurance Racing. Build this skill by practicing on horse jumps with your horse.
The Agility skill is tied to Barrel Racing and Western Pleasure. Build this skill by practicing on horse barrels with your horse.
The Endurance skill is tied to Endurance Racing and Barrel Racing. Build this skill by going on trail rides around the world with your horse.
The Temperament skill is tied to Show Jumping and Western Pleasure. Build this skill by simply interacting with your horse to build a bond with them.
All Horse Skills are tied to the Ultimate Horse Championship, so you’ll need a well-rounded horse who’s dominated all other competition divisions in order to qualify for this prestigious competition.
Your horse is not the only one who needs skills in order to do well in the Sims 4 horse competitions. Make sure you’re not neglecting your Sim’s Horse Riding skill. The Horse Riding skill is needed for all Sims 4 horse competitions. Luckily, it shouldn’t be too hard to build the Horse Riding skill if you’ve been working on Agility, Endurance, or Jumping skills with your horse. Anything you do on horseback builds the Horse Riding skill, so you can work on your own skill simultaneously while training your horse.
Entering Sims 4 Horse Competitions
The Equestrian Centre is located in the New Appaloosa neighbourhood of Chestnut Ridge and is open every day from 7am to 7pm. It is not its own lot type; it’s a rabbithole building located in the world’s common space so travel to the nearby park in order to visit it.
Sims can purchase, rescue, train, and sell horses at the Equestrian Centre and watch Sims 4 horse competitions as a spectator. They can also enter competitions themselves if they have an adult horse to compete with. Keep in mind that foals and pregnant mares cannot enter Sims 4 horse competitions. Horses are limited to competing only once per day but Sims can compete multiple times a day using different horses if they have more than one horse.
Don’t feel like traveling to the Equestrian Centre every time you want to enter a competition? No problem! You can also enter Sims 4 horse competitions through any community board in Chestnut Ridge. Community boards can also be purchased and placed on your lot if you live outside Chestnut Ridge.
Competition Divisions and Requirements
To start with, you and your horse will only be able to enter in the beginner division of any of the four main Sims 4 horse competitions. In order to qualify for the next division, you’ll have to place in the previous division. This means you will need to come in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in order to qualify for the next division up.
Each competition has its own entry fee, potential prize winnings, entry requirements, and recommended skill levels so we’re going to break them down for you.

Ultimate Horse Championship
The Ultimate Horse Championship only has one division. Think of it as the final showdown for the best of the best. In order to quality for the Ultimate Horse Championship, you and your horse will need to place in the Master division of all four Sims 4 horse competitions. This requires your horse to have nearly mastered every single skill so it’s no easy feat just to enter.
Entry Requirement: Place in Master division of all four equestrian disciplines
Entry Fee: $2,000
Prize Winnings:

Recommended Horse Skills:

Jumping (10)
Temperament (10)
The entry fees and prize money are the same across all the Sims 4 horse competitions in their respective divisions so there’s no equestrian sport that’s more profitable than the others. All four sports are equally profitable so specialize in whichever one you find the most fun to do, or master them all to compete in the Ultimate Horse Championship.
Sims 4 Horse Competitions Rewards
In addition to prize money, your Sims will receive plaques and trophies to display in their home when they place in Sims 4 horse competitions. The plaques can be displayed on a ranch sign or on any wall.
There are bronze, silver, and gold plaques for each of the Sims 4 horse competitions at all division levels. If you win 1st place in the Beginner Show Jumping division and then place 1st again in the Intermediate Show Jumping division, you will receive the same gold Show Jumping plaque for both those wins.
From left to right: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place plaques for Show Jumping, Barrel Racing, Endurance Racing, and Western Pleasure.
The Ultimate Horse Championship rewards Sims with trophies if they place. There is a bronze, silver, and gold version of the trophy. You can see the Ultimate Horse Championship trophies below.

This build hack works on any debug item from any Sims 4 pack!
Why did The Sims team even make detailed, textured items that are purely decorative? I’m talking about all the Sims 4 Horse Ranch debug items hiding in the build & buy menu.
Note: To access these items, open the cheat bar by typing in Ctrl+Shift+C. Then enter bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.showliveditobjects consecutively. Close the cheat bar with Ctrl+Shift+C again, then search **DEBUG** in the build menu below. You can also filter by pack in the bottom right corner of the screen to easily find the above items.
Fret not, Simmers! This simple build hack is no secret to builders but read through this article to learn how to do it on different debug items.
Before you start, always ensure that the bb.moveobjects cheat is on. Let’s go!
The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Debug Items: Build Tips
1) Planter Boxes
Starting off strong with 3 different swatches of wooden and metal planters. Before placing these, grab the Base Game planter pot first and raise it 2 times with Ctrl+9. Plant the seed already before proceeding, or just download a fully grown plant from the gallery.
Build Hack with Plant Boxes
Create a basement right below where you placed the pot. Then choose any of these planters in the Horse Ranch debug. Place it in the basement and elevate the debug planter until its green grid reaches the top wall of the basement.
Check if the debug planter is aligned with the Base Game pot above. Once you’re okay with its placement, delete the basement room using the arrow sliders. Be careful not to just hit delete immediately or else the debug planter will be deleted with it.
Sims 4 Debug Planter Build Hack
And you’re done! You can create an organic and rustic garden with the variety of these debug planters.
Note: Planting the seed after adding the debug item won’t work so plant the seed already before adding any debug item.
2) Barrel Dining Table
Let’s turn your basic round tables more yeehaw-appropriate with these barrels! There are two swatches of these barrels available in debug but you could also use the actual items in the build menu for more swatches.
Debug barrelsNormal barrels in Build & Buy Menu
You can do this hack either with bar height tables or normal height tables. For bar height tables, simply overlap the debug barrel and the table set you’ll be using. Click on the bar stool and your Sims should be able to use it.
Same thing for normal height tables but size down the barrel 1 time by pressing ‘[‘ before overlapping it with the table set.
Note: It’s still better to do the basement room hack (see the part above) especially if you’re using the normal decorative barrels. There is sometimes still a routing issue when you just overlap these items.
3) Steel Bath Tub
We’ve never had a metal bath tub in the game so this is the closest we’ll get! First, place the normal tub from Horse Ranch. Build a basement directly below it. Then get this empty metal planter from debug and place it on the floor below.
The Sims 4 Bath Tub Build Hack
Elevate it with Ctrl+9 until it reaches the top of the basement floor. Add lighting below. The debug tub should align perfectly with the bathtub above!
4) Pitcher Pump Sink
If you’re really going for that rural country vibe in your bathroom, try using this old-timey water pump for a sink. Firstly, place this round base game sink on a counter and size it down with the ‘[‘ key.
Create a room below this. Place the water pump there and elevate with Ctrl+9 until it reaches the top of the room. From there, elevate it 10 times more to be as high as the countertop.
Even if it’s fully aligned with the sink, it doesn’t quite cover this hole on the countertop. Cover it by using a shelf sized up once with the ‘]’ key. Hold down Alt to place the shelf precisely just below the counter. You can cover the ends of the shelf with even more counters if you like.
To use in Live mode, just click on the jutting part of the sized-down sink and it works like charm.

Howdy, Simmers!
We hope you’re having yourself a rootin’ tootin’ good summer (or winter for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere)! The crew has been super excited for The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack finally to be out in the world and we have loved seeing y’all’s fantastic Horses and homesteads!
One teammate was telling us about a young stallion she had growing up named Starbuck. He was feisty and seemed a bit wild to some folks. However defiant Starbuck seemed to be, though, our teammate shared a special bond with him that was unmatched (despite him being more than happy to take an apple from anybody!). We hope you create your own special bonds with your Horses in the game!
We have a few ranch maintenance Sims 4 Update patch notes to share, so kick up your boots and settle in.

Bug Fixes
Sims 4 Update: Base Game Improvements
The female outfit with a foldover sweater now keeps its hands to itself when the camera is far away.
Circular Roofs once again have shingles that lay properly.
L-shaped stairs that are two or more tiles wide no longer have a misplaced triangular section on the side.
Floor and Ceiling Pattern names have been updated since they now apply to both. Try them out for Painted Ceilings if you have not already!
Lessons about camera controls now have images that include the updated “Free Camera.” If you haven’t tried it out yet, use it to check out Ceilings that you now can customize!
Growing Together Fixes
The “Screen Smarts” Moodlet that children get for watching the Brainchild Learning television channel now has text in all languages.
Horse Ranch Patch Notes
Live Mode
Dazed newborn Foals that are fed an Age-Up Treat now become adults who maintain their “Horseness” when going on rides so they don’t walk upright like Sims.
Sims occasionally were stuck staring into space while starting activities such as eating or cooking. It turns out this was a possible side effect of going home from another location via “Ride Home”. Well, no longer! Sims now can enjoy their post-ride meal.
Sims on Horseback who select a “Community Job” from the Ranch Community Board now remain mounted in most cases when heading to the Job.
For new games in Chestnut Ridge, Emily now only recommends affordable starter lots.
The Welcome Wagon no longer sometimes overstays its welcome because nothing says ‘Welcome to the Neighborhood’ like a bladder mishap on the porch.
“Ask About The Community” on a Chestnut Ridge resident now consistently shows the neighborhood Ranch Community Board when selecting “View Board.”
Horses that are uncomfortable now shake their head less frequently while trotting or cantering. To learn more about how a Horse is feeling, just hover the cursor over the Horse or ask an unhappy Horse “What’s Wrong?”
Horses move more naturally while walking, trotting, and cantering.
Horses running around for Fun now run in more direct paths and avoid running through Gates.
Horses now are less likely to loop through Gates.
When engaging camera auto-follow on the active Sim who is riding on a lot with walls set to “Medium” or “Tall,” the rider now remains firmly mounted instead of skyrocketing above the world. Sims are better off exploring worlds from the relative safety of the saddle!
Sims keep their hands on the reins when their Horse moves on his or her own.
Sims making Nectar no longer freeze up when another Sim uses certain greetings with them or when making jokes about Body Hair. It’s just a neighborly hello with jokes on hold until after the Nectar is made!
The Mysterious Rancher now pays the full amount of Simoleons when a Sim sells multiple bottles of Nectar at once.
Selecting “Hire a Ranch Hand” on a Ranch Community Board and then switching to a Child now shows the initial Sim’s phone interface after selecting “Call to Hire Ranch Hand.”
Horse Training options that the Sim cannot afford now have a tooltip that correctly states the Sim’s name.
Sims who are not Father Winter no longer travel to locations such as the Equestrian Center via fireplaces. Chimney transportation is reserved!
Sims now can enter only one Horse Competition at a time. This prevents Horses from sometimes getting confused and staying in the Equestrian Center.
Sims who lose an Elder Horse friend or acquaintance to death or who witness one passing now have a “Mourning Horse” Moodlet. Rest in peace, noble steed.
On Horse Jumps, “Practice Advanced Jumps” now kicks up dust from the ground properly when the Horse knocks off the top rail.
When selling many Mini Goats or Mini Sheep in rapid succession, the chance of one being left behind and i n v i s i b l e is lower now. If you encounter this, “Save” and “Reload” to resolve the issue.
Lots you can visit no longer have the “Place Animal…” interaction.
“Sniff” and “Nuzzle” interactions with Foals and Adult Horses no longer occasionally contort the Sim’s arms.
Manure/poop is more performant at the gameplay engine level. You heard that right – we “polished” this fertilizer powerhouse.
Horses in locked, enclosed spaces or who otherwise cannot get to the edge of the lot now can be sold successfully.
Build Mode
Rust’n Chic Table Lamp now can live a life independent of walls. It now slots onto the typical horizontal surfaces rather than snapping to walls.
Paddock Fencing and Sturdy Ranch Fencing now can be built with rounded corners.
Rancher’s Dream Window’s black design now is fully black.
Cormac Pine End Table’s white design now has a white swatch.
Create a Sim
Selecting a premade shape for a Horse’s head now preserves the Mane and Tail Color and any Feathers. Did you know in real life that the Arabian’s concave head profile is described as “dish”-shaped and muzzles (noses) with a convex profile are called a “Roman nose”?
Horses now are fully visible after undoing accessories while the “Coat Color & Pattern” section is still highlighted. No i n v i s i b l e Horses here!
Premade face shapes for Sims were missing for games that had Horse Ranch and not Werewolves. They’re back now!
“Plan Outfits” for Foals now includes Mane and Forelock selection.
Foals now have better framing in the Gallery. Who can resist that cute face??
The English riding outfit (ymBody_EP14RidingDressage_LogoBlueLt) now shows up with the “Feminine” filter.
The fringe jacket (yfTop_EP14JacketFringed_SolidBrown) now tucks into bottoms properly.
The “Jumpsuits” category for the “Masculine” filter no longer includes a few errant tops.
The “Boomtown Maverick” Styled Look no longer has two errant color swatches.
What are your thoughts on the latest Sims 4 Update? Let us know in the conversations down below!
Are your Sims ready to get involved in some of the happenings in Chestnut Ridge? Well, fear not because there are two new The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Events that players can take part in!
The Ranch Gathering and Ranch Animal Day are exciting additions to the expansion pack. So get ready for a Cowpoke throwdown and show off your cute and adorable animals in these new events!
Table of Contents
Creating an Event
Like with any event, simply head over to your Sims Calendar, located at the bottom left-hand corner of the screen alongside the cell phone. You can also create an event directly from your Sims’ cell phone too!
Once you are in your Sims calendar, head down to the Add Event section of the calendar. From there, simply scroll through your events list until you find the event.
It’s important to note that there are two versions of this event. A goal and non-goal event. The main difference is that the goal version of the event will allow you to earn rewards depending on what your overall result is.
Now you have chosen which type of event you want to complete, you can head over to the next screen.
Here you will select your host, guests, event time as well as the location of your event. When it comes to choosing the location, you can select your current property or from selected community locations around the world, including various lots in Chestnut Ridge!
Once you’ve finished selecting planning, you’ll notice that the event will show on the calendar just like other events. You can see the full details of the event by clicking on them and also make edits to the event and even delete it if needed.
Now, let’s stop horsing around and take a closer look at our two new social events!

Once you arrive you’ll be able to get started on the goals if you’ve selected that event version or just go about the event until it has ended.
Event Goals
There are a variety of different goals your Sim can carry out throughout the duration of a Ranch Gathering.
Take a look at some of the goals you can expect to see during the event.

Challenge Rewards: Guests are ready and eager to donate Simoleons to the Ranch. How much? Well, it depends on how successful the event is.

Table of Contents
Purchasing Your Mini Animal Friends
Acquiring your new Mini Goats and Mini Sheep is easy! In fact, there are several ways you can purchase your new animal friends!
Cell Phone – Simply head to the Home section and then Call Animal Ranch Exchange
The General Store – As well as buying groceries, you can buy both Mini Sheep and Goats from the General Store in New Appaloosa
Community Boards– Similar to the Cell Phone, you can Call Animal Ranch Exchange from the Community Board and purchase both Mini Sheep and Goats from there.
However, it’s not just a simple task of choosing whether you will purchase just Mini Sheep or Mini Goats. You need to think about how many of each you want. Do you want just mini sheep or, just mini goats? If so, what colour(s) do I want? Does my lot have enough space for these Sims 4 Horse Ranch Mini Animals? There are plenty of questions, but don’t let those hinder your decision overall!
Pricing and Colours of Mini Animals
Both the Mini Sheep and Mini Coats are available in a variety of colours, each at varying costs. Let’s have a closer look at the options your Sims have!
Mini Goats
There are a total of eight colour variations of Mini Goats. They can also be milked once per day!
[table id=115 /]
Mini Sheep
Much like the Mini Goats, the Mini Sheep come in various colours. They can also be sheared once per day too!
[table id=116 /]
Just look how adorable they are roaming around your lots!
Of course, upon purchasing your Sims 4 Horse Ranch Mini Animals, they will go into your active Sims inventory. From there, you will then be able to select them individually and place them into the world.
Getting Started: Quick Tips
Once you’ve purchased your Mini Sheep and Goats, here are a few quick tips to help you get started caring for your new friends quickly!
Purchase an Animal Feeder as a source of food
Place Prairie Grass around your lot from Build Mode
Hire a Ranch Hand to assist on your lot
Keep an eye on your in-game notification panel for updates from your Sims 4 Horse Ranch Mini Animals
Looking after your Mini Animal Friends
Once you’ve placed your Mini Sheep and Goats in the world, it’s time to learn how to care for them!
The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Mini Animals come with a range of interactions that your Sims can use to get the most out of having them live on your lots.
Overall, both the Mini Sheep and Goats have the same interactions when it comes to caring for them.
Note: If you own The Sims 4 Werewolves Game Pack, there is an option for Werewolves to Devour Mini Sheep and Goats. It’s best to keep an eye on the whereabouts of your animal friends if Werewolves are about!
The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Mini Animals Interactions
Name Mini Sheep/Mini Goat
While Mini Sheep and Goats come with a predetermined name, you can also choose your own names too!
Friendly Interaction
There are a number of friendly social interactions you can hold with your Mini Animal friends! These include:
Talk about mineral cravings
Talk about cotton candy life
Talk about kids these days
Talk about which clouds are the fluffiest
Actions
Selecting the Actions interaction will give you a further list of interactions your Sim can have with their Mini Sheep and Goats.
Trade For – Ingredients & Produce, Animal Treats or Simoleons
Call over Goats & Sheep
Collect Goats & Sheep
Lock the Camera
Put in Inventory
Watch ‘Sheep/Goat Name’
Note:Calling over all or selected Mini Sheep and Goats to your collection makes it easy to round up all of your Mini Animals. This is especially helpful if they have decided to go for a little stroll away from your lot and gone exploring.
Care
The Care submenu gives you an option to either Bottle Feed your Mini Sheep/Goats for $4 and also Clean them.
Chores
Need an extra helping hand with keeping on top of your outdoor spaces? Why not ask for some gardening help? This may or may not be a good idea, proceed with caution!
Socialize
Much like the Action sub-menu, the Socialize category comes with a number of interactions your Sims can have with your Mini Sheep and Goats. These range from a number of Friendly and Funny interactions.
Here are some examples:
Tell Jokes
Play with Mini Goat/Mini Sheep
Hug Mini Goat/Mini Sheep
Ask about Baaad Jokes
Ask who the G.O.A.T is
Ask to Roll Over
Scare Mini Goat/Mini Sheep
Be Mean to Mini Goat/Mini Sheep
Additionally, if you are to use negative interactions, you will find that Goats will appear to faint and Sheep will get scared and upset. Don’t worry these are only temporary but will have an impact on your relationship with them.
Just keep in mind, your Mini Goats may like to headbutt your Sim from time to time too!
Interacting with your Mini Sheep and Goats will also take care of their individual attention levels too!
Call Over Mini Goat/Mini Sheep
Want all of your four-legged friends in one place, use this interaction to summon them to a specific area.
Be aware, that if you have The Sims 4 Cottage Living, your Sims will be able to collect Milk and Wool from Mini Goats and Sheep. If you do not own the expansion, you will not see these options.
Milk
Just milking a goat, no big deal!
Milk for Simoleons
Why not make some Simoleons from milking your goats?
Shear
Got to keep those coats looking friendly and smart!
Shear for Simoleons
Much like milking a Mini Goat, why not make some money on the Sheep’s Wool too?
Now that we’ve looked at the interactions for The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Mini Animals, let’s have a look at what else you should keep in mind when having Mini Sheep and Goats on your Lot.
Caring For Your Mini Animals
While the interactions essentially covered the basics of how to look after your Mini Sheep and Goats, it’s vital that you Feed and Clean your small animals on a regular basis. This is also important as if you neglect their needs there is a chance they could run away.
If for whatever reason they do run away, there is a chance they could return at a later date once you’ve shown that you will meet their needs going forward.
Also, keep in mind that your Elder Mini Sheep and Goats will pass away due to old age. However, in your game settings, you can turn off animal ageing.
Simply head to Game Options > Gameplay > Animal Aging and select whether you want it on or off.
You can find the Care interactions via the pie menu on both Mini Sheep and Goats. You can also hover above the individual animals to see your current relationship with them as well as how their hunger, cleanliness and attention levels are.
Note:Both Mini Sheep and Goats can also be called to a feeder to eat.They will also eat bugs and weeds too.
Fun Things to do with your Mini Animals
Travel the World
Once you’ve got the basics down, it’s now time to have some fun. The great thing about The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Mini Animals is that you can take them anywhere.
Want to go to the local bar and cause chaos? Why not? Simply place them back into your inventory, travel to your chosen lot and place them in the world. While it might not be complete chaos, having some fun with these adorable animals will certainly put smiles on your Sim’s faces!
If you do take them out and about on adventures and you accidentally leave them on a lot. They will eventually return to you and can be found in your Sim’s inventory.
Ranch Events
Boom clap, boom de clap de clap!
Are your Sims ready to host some new Ranch Events? Why not host your own Ranch Gathering, dance the cowpoke, listen to some Ranch Music, sample some Nectar, grill some good food and have fun with others from Chestnut Ridge?
On the other hand, why not show some love to your Sims 4 Horse Ranch Mini Animal friends or even your Horses and celebrate Ranch Animal Day?
That’s not a Mini Sheep or Goat, is it?
A fun feature we found while writing this guide was you can in fact have giant, functional Mini Sheep and Goats.
No, we aren’t kidding around!
Simply head into Build Mode, select any Mini Sheep or Goat on your Lot and you can enlarge it the same way you would with any normal Build Buy object.
To do this you can press Shift + [ or Shift + ] to resize them! You will also need to ensure you have bb.moveobjects on enabled too.
100 Mini Sheep and Goat Challenge?
There seems to be no limit on just how many Mini Sheep and Goats you can have on a lot at any one time. It does make you wonder just how many you could place at any one time before potentially crashing your game.
Only one way to find out of course!
All in all, The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Mini Animals are a wonderful addition to the game and bring a new level of cute and cuddly gameplay for Simmers and the occasional chaos too!
Let us know what you think of these adorable additions in the comments section below!

A grieving father and a determined son butt heads over a wild Mustang.
Welcome to our nineteenth official The Sims 4 Story Starter Kit! If you missed all the info on The Sims 4 Story Starter Kits, you can read more about what they are and how they work in our introductory article!
For this month’s The Sims 4 Story Starter Kit, we’re bringing you a teenage boy with a knack for taming even the wildest horses, his overprotective father, and a mustang with a fiery personality!
Table of Contents
The Sims 4 Story Starter Kit: Taming the Wild
If you asked River what his childhood was like, he would talk at length about how he had the most amazing childhood any kid could ask for. He’d tell you all about his parents’ successful horse ranch where they bred, sold, and competed with some of the world’s finest competition horses. He’d tell you that his mom and dad both instilled their immense love and respect for horses in him from a very young age; especially his mom.
Lyla Hawthorne was a world-renowned horsewoman with hundreds of first place plaques to her name. Everyone thought she was unbeatable… until a devastating accident during a high stakes barrel racing competition took her life. After that, nothing was the same anymore…
Her grieving husband struggled with her death even more than her heartbroken son. He blamed her death on the horses and lost any love he once had for the majestic animals. In fact, he hated them. Unable to stomach the sight of a horse any longer, he sold their sprawling 100 acre horse farm and downsized to a smaller plot where he hoped to transition from raising horses to raising miniature sheep and goats.
The move devastated River. He was furious with his father for throwing away everything his mother had worked for. He felt they should be honouring her memory by keeping her love of horses alive, not abandoning it! He rebelled by skipping school to spend his days in Galloping Gulch, watching the herds of wild horses run free and wishing he could join them.
On one of his excursions, he noticed a wild mustang on her own, away from her herd. She had gotten her leg stuck in a hunter’s trap meant for coyotes. Knowing the mare needed urgent medical care and that she wouldn’t survive out in the desert without her herd and an injured leg, he quickly ran back home to grab some rope he could lasso her with and get her back to the farm. Unsurprisingly, the wild horse did not appreciate being handled by a human and fought him the entire way home.
When Thaddeus realised what his son had done, he was beside himself with rage. He told River he should have let nature take its course and left the horse for dead. He forbade River from going anywhere near her and started making calls to find a vet that would come and euthanize the injured animal.
Against his father’s wishes, River tended to the mare’s wounds himself, whom he named Fox Trot. By the time a vet did get out there, they deemed Fox Trot perfectly healthy and would not euthanize her, so Thaddeus was stuck with her. River pleaded with his father to give him a chance to tame the aggressive, defiant, and free-spirited horse but all Thaddeus could think about was losing his only child the same way he lost his wife. He made it clear that River was not to go within 100 feet of Fox Trot and that he would find a rancher who would take her off their hands.
But the fighting spirit Lyla passed down to her son was strong and River has now taken it upon himself to try and prove to his father that Fox Trot is not a lost cause; with enough love and patience, she could be a champion, just like their old horses. Just like mom.
Fox Trot isn’t going to make it easy, however. She seems just as determined to fight River and every other human as River is to show his dad she’s tameable. Can River turn Fox Trot into the trusting, gentle, championship horse he believes she can be or is Fox Trot truly a lost cause like Thaddeus insists?
This Sims 4 Story Starter Kit household should be able to purchase their lot with their default starting funds. Make sure you import the family into CAS, then move them in. If you move them into a home straight from the Gallery, they will not have the funds I set for them.
This humble The Sims 4 Story Starter Kit home with 2 bedrooms, a paddock, and small stable isn’t much space to run a big ranching operation but might be suitable for a herd of miniature sheep and goats. Still, if one did decide to keep a horse here, they might be able to squeeze one into the one stall in the barn and set up some makeshift training equipment in the paddock…

Remember that bridge your horses can’t go to? Fixed it.
It’s no secret that the SimGurus LOVE making the best debug items for every new pack. Just look at the new debug menu from The Sims 4 Horse Ranch, especially this covered bridge you’ll see often in the world of Chestnut Ridge. The catch? Sims can’t use them. Bummer. But what if we turn these debug shells into functional stables?
Horses aren’t even allowed to go here!
With this workaround, you can even use them in your builds! Whether you want to save Simoleons, do the no walls challenge, or just add something interesting to your lot, simply follow any of these build hacks.
Note: Before doing anything, make sure that bb.moveobjects is on.
Table of Contents
Hack #1: Using a Basement
First of all, we have to access the hidden debug menu. Type in Ctrl+Shift+C to open the cheat bar. Then, type and enter bb.showhiddenobjects and bb.showliveeditobjects consecutively. Hit Ctrl+Shift+C again to close the cheat bar.
Go to the items search bar and type in **DEBUG** to open the debug menu. To make the search easier, toggle the filter for Horse Ranch expansion pack and look for this item.
Tip: In case you make mistakes or start over again, already grab duplicates of the debug item since it cannot be duplicated with the eyedropper tool.
Great! Now that we have this thing, build a room just as big as the item. Adjust the level of the whole room by clicking on it and sliding up the white arrow 1 time.
Then, remove the walls either by clicking on each wall and selecting Remove Wall or using the sledgehammer tool.
Now to the important step: build a basement directly below this room. Place the debug item on the floor below. With Ctrl+9, elevate the item several times until it reaches the top floor again while it’s placed on the basement. You may need a few adjustments before it’s level with the above floor.
Once you’re satisfied with the item’s placement, delete the room below by sliding the white arrows to minimize the room. DON’T just click on the room and hit delete! We don’t want the debug object to be deleted with it.
Go back to the upper floor and viola! That entire space is functional. You can fit in 2 sets of hay beds and feeders here without any trouble.
Hack #2: Using a Second Floor
If you don’t like the adding a basement to your lot, try making a 2nd floor. Do this by creating a 1-tile room on the 1st floor then adding another room on top of it.
Delete the room on the 1st floor. Using the white arrow slider in the middle, drag the entire room downwards until it is levelled with the floor of the debug item.
When you’re satisfied with its height, use the white arrows around the room to resize it to be as big as the debug item. Like above, remove all four walls of the room.
Note: If you want to adjust the debug item, make sure that it’s placed on the ground floor and NOT on the 2nd floor so the space can still be functional.
The last step is to add stairs on either end. Since this hack uses stairs (which aren’t accessible for horses), it’s best to convert this space intended for Sims like a restaurant or a bar to dance the cowpoke.
Extra Hack: Other Debug Items
If you’ve read the previous sections, you’ll observe that the key here is to add the debug item on a different floor or else the space won’t be usable. Simple enough, right? So try it on other objects from debug…or even this sized up dollhouse barn if you ever want that.
Don’t worry about rain or roofing problems! When you create a room, it automatically adds a ceiling to cover the room. If you also own Seasons, do note that this room is like a porch and is still outdoors.

Breed adorable foals as a hobby or as a lucrative business!
One of the biggest features of the new Horse Ranch expansion is Sims 4 horse breeding! Sims can make a very good living breeding and selling trained competition horses with impressive pedigrees. In fact, horse sales are such a big focus that all horses have a monetary value attached to them that increases based on skills, certain traits, and competition wins. Breeding your champion horses and selling their highly valuable offspring will make your Sims wealthy in no time!
We’ll walk you through everything you need to know about breeding top quality horses!

In order to start Sims 4 horse breeding, you first need a mare and a stallion. Click on either your mare or stallion and under Friendly interactions, select Encourage To > Encourage to Breed With and select the other horse.
If the breeding is successful, you’ll see them touch their muzzles and hearts swirl around them. Don’t be discouraged if your horses don’t breed on the first try; just keep building your bond with both horses and give them more time to get to know each other. Horses are highly social animals and will autonomously interact with each other often.
After a successful Sims 4 horse breeding attempt, it will take several in-game hours before you’ll know if your mare is expecting a foal or not. If she is pregnant, you’ll get a notification about it.
Pregnant Mares
A pregnant mare
While your mare is pregnant, you won’t be able to ride her or train with her on jumps or barrels. She also won’t be eligible to enter any equestrian competitions. Make sure she’s comfortable and happy during her pregnancy by brushing her, interacting with her, keeping her feed bin full and her stall clean like you would normally do.
Mares are pregnant for about three in-game days. You’ll see her belly slowly expand over those three days as her foal grows. Sometime on day three, your mare will go into labour. Just like with Sim labours, this process can take a few hours. Your mare will be very uncomfortable while she’s in labour but your Sim can help soothe her. There is a new social interaction on your mare during labour called Soothe Horse in Labour.
When your mare gives birth, her foal will appear beside her and you’ll be prompted to give the new colt or filly a name! The foal will inherit one random trait from its dam and one from its sire. It will also possess a third base trait of its own. This is why taking your horses’ traits into account for Sims 4 horse breeding is important if you want a good chance of getting foals with a specific type of personality!
As for the foal’s appearance, its body shape and coat colouring appear to be 50/50. Our filly had her dam’s coat colouring and her sire’s body build. There was no mixing of coat colours or patterns.
Foal Care
Foals are adorably clumsy and unsteady on their hooves when they’re first born but they actually aren’t a lot of work to keep healthy and happy. They get a lot of care from their dam, who nurses and grooms them to keep them fed and clean but Sims can also bottle feed and brush their foals. Foals can be trained to eat hay by hand-feeding them prairie grass or calling them to eat from a patch of prairie grass or a feed bin.
A filly nursing from her dam
However, this doesn’t mean you can neglect your foal! Foals need to learn how to interact with Sims and the earlier you start working on their Temperament skill with them, the better. A big part of Sims 4 horse breeding is making sure your foals grow into adult horses with the Well Mannered Foal trait. A foal only gains this reward trait when they age up if they have high Temperament skill. This trait is highly coveted for breeders because it gives the horse a boost in all skills.
Foals cannot be ridden or enter equestrian competitions. You’ll have to wait for them to grow up to start building the Agility, Jumping, and Endurance skills with them. You can see how many days away your foal is from aging up by hovering over their portrait in your Sim’s relationship panel.
Breedable Traits
If you’re going to be delving into Sims 4 horse breeding for profit, you’ll need a good understanding of how to breed certain traits into your foals to increase their value. The benefit of Sims 4 horse breeding is that there are certain traits a horse can only get by being bred and raised from a foal.
In addition to their three base traits they’ll get when they’re born (which is partially influenced by their dam and sire’s base traits), foals can be born with additional traits called breedable traits. Breedable traits are traits that can only be acquired through Sims 4 horse breeding. Check out our Horse Traits Guide for a full breakdown of all horse traits, but here’s a summary of breedable traits.
Playful: Foals can sometimes be born with the Playful trait, which means they love to play with toys and Sims.
Curious: Foals can sometimes be born with the Curious trait, which makes them more likely to investigate many different objects. They’ll also love using jumps and barrels when they grow up.
Champion Genes: You’ll only breed foals with Champion Genes if their dam or sire has the Champion Horse trait. Gain the Champion Horse trait by winning 20 equestrian competitions in order to start breeding foals with Champion Genes. Both traits greatly increase the horse’s value and boost all skill gain.
Well Mannered Foal: Foals are not born with this trait but they can age up with this trait if your Sim spent a lot of time building their Temperament skill as a foal. This trait boosts all skill gain.
Horse Value
Players who really want to get into Sims 4 horse breeding as a lucrative business will need to understand how to increase the value of their horses. The horse value system is quite detailed so this portion of our guide may undergo further changes as we learn more about it but here’s what we’ve gathered about horse value so far!
Horses start with a base value of $1,000. This base value increases based on certain factors. If you want to make the most of Sims 4 horse breeding, you’ll want to increase that base value as much as possible so you can sell the horses you breed at a higher profit. You accomplish this by being selective about the horses you choose to breed together.
Ideally, these are the factors you want to consider heavily with Sims 4 horse breeding:
Pick a dam and a sire with traits that are favourable for competitions to increase your odds of getting a foal with those same traits. Having good base traits will help them build certain skills faster and do better in competitions.
If possible, don’t breed horses that do not have the Champion Horse trait. You only want to be breeding the best of the best to get quality foals with the Champion Genes trait. These traits have a direct impact on a horse’s monetary value.
The more competitions your horses have won, the more valuable they become (and by extension, the more valuable their foals will be). So don’t retire your horses after 20 competitions to get the Champion Horse trait. Continuing to win competitions seems to further drive up the value of the horse.
You can sell foals but we don’t recommend doing this. You’ll fetch a higher price if you raise your foal to an adult and get some competition wins on their record, first.
In short, highly skilled horses with lots of competition wins and good traits will have more valuable foals!
Sims 4 horse breeding can really make your Sims obscenely wealthy. The most valuable premade horse in the game is Duke Gooseman, valued at $17,400 but we’ve seen some players’ horses valued for up to a whopping $45,000!

Learn all about the new aspirations in Horse Ranch!
The Sims 4 Horse Ranch comes with two brand-new and exciting Aspirations! Of course, like with any The Sims 4 Aspiration, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know!
As we previously mentioned, the new expansion adds two exciting aspirations to choose from. The first is the Expert Nectar Maker and the second Sims 4 aspiration is the Championship Rider.
Now, as with any aspiration within the game, each comes with multiple goals your Sim will need to complete in order to master the aspiration. You’ll also be able special Reward Traits upon completion.
Table of Contents
Let’s take a closer look at the new The Sims 4 Aspirations from the Horse Ranch expansion pack.
Championship Rider
This Sim wants to be one of the world’s premiere Horse Riders and will prove it by participating in Horse Competitions.
The new Championship Rider aspiration can be located under the Athletic section of Sims 4 Aspirations. It only has one Milestone level however has four sub-milestones for Sims to complete. At first glance, it does look like this could be a somewhat challenging Aspiration to undertake however, we aren’t going to be wasting our time horsing around!
The milestones your Sim would need to complete for the Championship Rider aspiration are as followed:
Achieve Level 10 Horse Riding Skill
Compete in 15 Horse Competitions
Win Gold in 5 Master Horse Competitions
Place at the Ultimate Horse Championship
Let’s take a more in-depth look at what each of these milestones entails for this new The Sims 4 Aspiration.
Achieving Level 10 Horse Riding Skill
This milestone is probably the easiest out of the four at first glance. Much like building any other skill within The Sims 4, this is exactly the same. It’s also a great way of building a relationship with your horses!
Compete in 15 Competitions
Simply travel to New Appaloosa and head over to the Hay Now! Equestrian Centre. Once you have arrived, click on the building and select Enter Competition.
Win Gold in 5 Master Horse Competitions
Similarly to the previous milestone, simply head over to the Equestrian Centre once again. However, this time around you’ll need to select a Master Level Competition. You’ll then be able to choose from either Barrel Racing, Show Jumping or Western Pleasure Competitions to take part in. You just need to ensure you win the Gold in these to count towards the milestone!
Place at the Ultimate Horse Championship
For this milestone, you’ll need to place in the top three to complete this milestone. To enter, either head to the Hay Now! Equestrian Centre or the Community Board and select Enter Competition where you will be able to partake in the event. Just keep in mind that you can only take part in the Ultimate Horse Championship on a Saturday!
Completion Reward
Now that you’ve completed everything for the Championship Rider Sims 4 Aspiration, your Sim will be awarded the Grand Champ Trainer Reward Trait.
Grand Champ Trainer:These Sims train Horse Skills faster, sell Horses for higher prices, inspire confidence in themselves and their Horse when riding and training, and will very rarely have a bad time riding a Horse. In fact, they are so good with Horses that Horses have even more fun when being ridden by them. They can also Give Competition Advice. to aspiring Horse Riders.
Are you ready to take a look at what it takes to be an Expert Nectar Maker? Let’s check out the second new Sims 4 Aspiration in the Horse Ranch expansion.
Expert Nectar Maker
This Sim wants to master the art of Nectar Making, honing their abilities to consistently craft only the best Nectars. They also want to make an absurd amount of Simoleons doing it.
The new Expert Nectar Maker aspiration can be located under the Food section of the Sims 4 Aspirations screen. Much like the Championship Rider aspiration It only has one Milestone level. Similarly, it has several sub-milestones for Sims to complete. This will be a fun aspiration to complete if your Sims are looking to master a new skill and turn it into a profitable venture.
The three milestones your Sim needs to complete are as followed:
Achieve Level 5 Nectar Making Skill
Make 50 Excellent Bottles of Nectar
Make $100,000 Selling Nectar
Now, let’s take a more in-depth look at each of the milestones your Sim needs to complete to become an Expert Nectar Maker!
Achieve Level 5 Nectar Making Skill
Another easy and straightforward milestone to complete. Simply have your Sim obtain Level 5 of the Nectar Making Skill.
Make 50 Excellent Bottles of Nectar
To create excellent bottles of Nectar, you’ll need to consider the ingredient quality, your current skill level as well as the skill level required for making particular Nectar variants.
Make $100,000 Selling Nectar
You can sell bottles of Nectar directly from your inventory, at the General Store or by selling them to the Mysterious Rancher who appears from time to time in Chestnut Ridge. There are various factors that can impact the price Nectar sells for. As an example, the overall quality of the Nectar will determine how much it sells for as well as if it has been aged or not!
Completion Reward
Now that you’ve completed everything for the Expert Nectar Maker Sims 4 Aspiration, your Sim will be awarded the Nectar Know-It-All Reward Trait.
Nectar Know-It-All: These Sims can craft pre-aged Nectar, have an iron bladder when it comes to drinking Nectar, and their negative emotions have less influence on their current mood.
Does your Sim have what it takes to become an Expert Nectar Maker?
