18 Horse Ranch Gameplay Ideas To Try | The Sims 4 Guide

How is it possible that every person who plays SIMS isn’t subscribed to your site? I just don’t get that!

The nectar selling is ridiculously OP (and I’m okay with this lol). I did a rags to riches playthrough with a character, starting with 0 simoleons, and was able to make a million Simoleons selling nectar before she’d reached Adult. It was pretty awesome.

(I think I had over 100 bottles aging at any given time and eventually I opened a retail store to sell them at marked up prices)

You can get the market table with only base game from the gallery, it was part of a old event😊

Youre my comfort channel ❤️

Absolutely love this video! Made me want to play these scenarios so bad that I turned my computer on and logged into sims 😅 your videos are always really great, keep up the good work! 🎉❤

i didnt know that horses can strike a pose to camera!

I had a bottle of Vitality nectar sell for 99,000$

I’m doing idea #19: Recreating Westworld 🤗

Hey, if the range hand picks up the manures does it go into your inventory? Great job with your videos I refer to them often.

They really need to fix the Ranch Hands to not quit every day. That's honestly the only complaint I have about the pack.

I have to say, I was REALLY bummed to find out that selling nectar on the table did not count toward the sales needed for the nectar maker aspiration….. 😢

Another gameplay idea that involves photography is to take photos while your sim is mounted on a horse. I find this to be a pretty useful option when it comes to taking pictures at an elevated height, as it allows you to point your camera at angles that you otherwise wouldn't be able to get with your sim's feet planted on the ground. Although with this trick you also have to position the horse correctly as your sim is riding them, as parts of their body (especially their head) could stick out in your camera's line of sight.

I had another idea with horse ranch! My sim had a goat/sheep yoga studio on her lot. As weird as it sounds, it exists in real life 🤣

Lots of great ideas ❤

Some great ideas and your horses are gorgeous! 😍 I am loving this pack.
One more idea to add is - get your sim kids to camp out and try to see the ghost horse that appears across the broken bridge... great for storytelling.

Has anyone figured out what, if anything, happens when you complete Dreadhorse Caverns? Back when this pack first came out I felt like everyone was posting different and often contradicting things about whether or not it was possible to fully complete Dreadhorse Caverns and what would happen if you did, but nobody ever really made an actual full walk-through or guide of that little text-based minigame.

I've started a playthrough with a cross-pack where its a mom, a spellcaster daughter, and an elderly horse - the plot being the daughter grows up with the horse, is traumatized when it passes away, and dedicates her life to learning the Dark Arts of necromancy - inspired by a tumblr post: Necroprancer.

Oh.... so I can't make nectar out of just any fruit but only certain ones? Bummer.... I wanted to see about plasma fruit.

Well, now that we have horses, nectar making, and cave exploring, how about a "Stardew Valley Sims Challenge."
Also, Equestrian Clubs for my more well-off sims.

seeing everyone try out nectar making makes me so giddy! also LOL at the "run a liquor store" and then immediately "become immortal" on the list

For my city slicker sims I have them befriend the ranchers, visit and pretend its a riding school. My city slicker sims befriend the horses mount them and go for a ride. I then have the visiting sims gift the ranchers simoleons before they leave.

Thanks Petey! I'm already loving this pack and these ideas will help the game stay fresh a bit longer.

Also, it would've been cool if EA added a "wine tasting event" I think that would've been AWESOME. Unfortunately it'd prolly be buggy like almost every other event but that still would've been really cool

Omg, the vine yard?!! I need that so bad. I wish they added it to base game, I love it😭

I just won the pack via a giveaway! What great timing! ❤

I love the idea of a horse painter because it’s such a real niche in the art world. There are definitely people earning comfortable livings just making picturesque horse paintings.

I wanted a community garden, but then I got my sim family to run a plant based empire.
Flower arranging, candle making; simple living food, and in the future we shall make nectar 😂

Uuuuh, with this nice ideas i wanna buy the pack 😅 but i want to resist till it get to sale 😢 bc the criticism of being not worth a expansion pack 😮

Lots of great ideas! I am so enjoying this pack. 👍

Never knew taking horse photo is so cuteeeeeeeee

Adding to #15, my scientist sim ran with this idea! Since he has the SimRay, he transforms the horse poop into furniture, objects, etc then sells them for some really huge profits!

Pro tip: never try to ride your horse in Sulani...OMG the glitches! It's kinda funny but a little freaky.

I'm back playing The Sims, thank you so much for all of your Horse Ranch videos ❤

I caved and bought the pack. I’ve been having a blast but I made the rookie mistake of doing too much too soon. A single sim with a needy horse, a garden, 6 mini sheep and 6 mini goats, andddd off-the-grid 😵‍💫. Overconfidence is an insidious killer 😂 (side note, I already had the dog, garden and off-the-grid lot challenge, I just got way too excited about the new pack to really think about the effort needed)

Awesome video as always Petey!

Love the nectar idea, might start a store!

Yes Petey!!
