The Sims 4 will be letting Simmers horse around with neigh-bors in new Horse Ranch DLC

Horses will finally return to the Sims series, with a new Horse Ranch Expansion Pack announced for The Sims 4, arriving on July 20th.

Rumors about equestrian activities in The Sims 4 have been around for a while, but EA finally confirmed the news sharing a new trailer detailing The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack. There will be a new world inspired by the American West, mini goats and sheep (which are so cute) and of course horses that you can raise and train on your own ranch.

The new world, Chestnut Ridge, is a beautiful rural landscape ideal for Simmers to start their own ranch, cottage, or cabin. It looks like a great addition for those who dream of starting a farm in The Sims 4 too, with a huge variety of animals to raise.

With that in mind, you’ll also get involved in the fun and ugly parts of caring for farm animals; you’ll have to clean up their mess, keep them well-groomed, and as a result, you’ll form a bond with them that will make your hard work worth it. The animals you take care of will also help you earn simoleons; You can shear mini sheep and milk mini goats before selling the fruits of your labor.

When you get tired of working on your own ranch, you can even hire a Ranch Hand for extra help. On top of that, you can take your favorite steed and gallop around town to see what your neighbors are up to. Chestnut Ridge is home to an equestrian park where the Simmers can train their horses and a dance hall for you and your neighbors to blow off steam.

There will also be events like a Ranch Gathering (a cookout) and an Animal Day at the Ranch where you can interact with the animals in your neighborhood, and not just your own! You will be able to have your own horses by buying, rescuing or even breeding them, and they will also be customizable.

I don’t know about you, but I’d definitely rather raise horses in The Sims 4 than any little kid. What do you think of the latest DLC for The Sims 4? Yay or neigh?
