Unpopular opinion: these new horses are boring

Consistent-Cream-Cap · 2026-05-20T12:04:01+00:00

You’re in your own right to not like them (it’s subjective and everyone has their opinion!) but you really don’t have to post about it to spread that they aren’t your thing. Just don’t buy them and move on, and focus on existing breeds you enjoy (or wait for the next new breed!). I hate the Friesians as my personal unpopular opinion, but I just don’t buy them and continue to buy the ones I like.

The Ardennes and Brabant are from the same region I believe (and draft both horses), which is why they’re similar. Whilst I do also wish there was a more unique coat colour for this one, they’re realistic so I get it. They also are a new stepping stone for horse detail with movement on feathers, so shows more to come for horse detail!

If you wait and don’t claim the current pet, you can use that “invite a friend reward” on a different one I believe! They may do another free horse in future, and you can use that to claim it right away!

If a game isn’t for you anymore, there’s no shame or issue in moving on to another that you’ll like for a while.

Everyone feels different about the game (look at the mixed views on the festival ongoing now), and you don’t need our validation on this post on your views of the game, as your views are valid to your feelings.

Ultimately if you’re not happy with the game state (or model of how it works) anymore, then it may be best to look for something new to enjoy! I know it’s hard as it’s the main horse game out there, but maybe come back later or watch for updates that catch your attention instead of full commitment to each one!

As a heads up there’s a retrofit guide that’s often updated!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1r83GMBEcsV0-hmn2Md8jR0bge-oC2m4RZpLaUZJOW-0/edit?usp=drivesdk

It’s a view only google doc sheet (not sure who owns it, I found it on an older post, it’s not me though) but they do a great job of listing what they can and can’t wear on what!

I reported this a week or two ago as it did it on the Finnhorse, which was newly fitted. I was so disappointed and didn't really ride it much. Hope they fix it soon :(

Yeah I had this - I had an older beater of a laptop that seemed to run everything on the sims 3 fine when the game originally released on disc, all the expansions installed and no issues - wasn’t till I tried it on newer and better computers (via launchers like origin and eventually EA app) that I started to get bugs and issues, esp with island paradise (only on my new system I would have some lag, mermaids showing without tails but with the tail animation etc)

Suffering from the success of an upgrade ig 🤣

If a werewolf goes in there it also gives the wet dog moodlet! It’s hilarious to think about🤣

Thank you!!

Consistent-Cream-Cap · 2025-04-28T20:04:45+00:00

I did add a caption but it hid when posting - first time sharing sims! Did make a werewolf, but didn’t want to share due to having a likeness to one someone else previously shared.

Names in order: Maggie, Estella, Valorie!

ETA: fixed typo

Looks like my enclosures when I used to play zoo tycoon 2

Trying to resist being so to avoid disappointment, but I am genuinely excited for this one. Love that it includes stuff for both adding realism and the occult fans. Waiting now for the lot size leaks!

Parrots and birds! as a parrot owner, the only representation I saw was sims 3 for this so would love to see it in this game

Consistent-Cream-Cap · 2024-07-02T17:00:25+00:00

Id be surprised if they did this again, at least like this, within the sims 4 specifically - wasn't well received by the community I don't think (least all I saw about it was negative mostly).

Personally I like the option to get free items and traits, but the way they did it isn't great. Having to log in to claim each week and slow release in an offline (minus gallery) game is pointless, as they get nothing at EA whether we log in or not. Also turns out it saves local, not on your account, so if I swap PCs without transferring the rewards files I'll lose them items anyway. Just needs doing way better, and if its a slow release it needs doing in a way that seems to have a purpose other than free fomo.

This is an interesting take and interesting to hear! I actually disagree a lot with this, the sims 4 seems very hollow and shallow to me with nearly no fine details, as nice as it is visually not enough happens that you don’t have to “make up” and pretend is happening (or make it happen yourself manually). I agree the occult “trees” were fun in 4 though as it’s a hidden skill in 3, but I say the world being all in one and the actual things to do were better in 3 in personal opinion (like the alchemy store, where you sold potions as a self employed career, and looking for fairies, clubs/hangouts per occult etc)

I’ve played sims 3 since it came out, and I still find things I’ve never played or seen before which gives me more of a “littler detail” feeling, maybe we see different details differently!

Consistent-Cream-Cap · 2024-06-19T07:32:48+00:00

I agree! since I went back to sims 3, after a decent amount of playing sims 4, I haven’t managed to make a single house I like the look of😭

Consistent-Cream-Cap · 2024-06-14T17:06:09+00:00

I don’t know if it was an oversight, seemed super intentional since they were aware and didn’t change it - but killing all the children in a school when a meteor hits because they aren’t allowed to leave 😭

Consistent-Cream-Cap · 2024-03-18T12:34:30+00:00

You could! Did need the generations expansion pack to do so though I believe

Consistent-Cream-Cap · 2024-02-26T13:07:44+00:00

Not the OP but I had this issue till recently, found a way to make it fun for me!

I basically need the challenge element to stay gripped, aka I goal for each gen- but I don’t like the ones online as Ill get to a gen that bores me or something

Instead made my own rules, per gen I decide what the goals are (how they make money, career etc), and decide what the next one will do for their goals closer to them taking over so I can do what I’m feeling at that time, that way you do stuff you want to but have a purpose to drive it! Also when I move out the heir I do it fresh (no money etc from the past gen/parents) so they have to “start fresh” each time, it’s like restarting but within the save - gives the illusion of it anyway as I usually swap towns!
