The Sims 4: Horse Ranch is more than My Little Pony fan service, but only just. Launching on July 20, 2023, EA's upcoming expansion for its beloved life sim features two new animal types, the ability to add patterns to ceilings in build mode, and its first ever 64 x 64 residential lot for us to finally tell some elaborate farmyard-rancher stories.
That's pretty much all there is to it. As far as breadth and variety in The Sims 4 goes, Horse Ranch looks fun yet a little too familiar, kind of like a mashup of The Sims 4: Cottage Living and The Sims 4: Strangerville in terms of aesthetics. This is predominantly thanks to the farming elements of ranch life being interpolated into an American midwest-inspired world map, something we've already seen in earlier packs. Still, there some noteworthy and exclusive features to get you chomping at the bit for more, so for a full breakdown of everything new in The Sims 4: Horse Ranch, read on.
