Where to Buy & Rescue Horses in The Sims 4
You have several options for acquiring a horse or foal in The Sims 4:
- Call the Ranch Animal Exchange on your phone
- Use the Household section of your computer
- Check the Ranch Community Board
- Visit the Equestrian Center
If you choose to purchase a horse, it will cost you around 1,000 Simoleons. However, you can also rescue a horse for a lower price of 250 Simoleons. One convenient option is to use the Ranch Animal Exchange, where you can not only get a horse but also other animal companions like Mini Sheep and Mini Goats.
Keep in mind that rescued horses may have more challenging traits, so it’s important to provide them with extra care and attention to help them feel at home on your ranch.
Once you have horses in your possession, you can choose to sell them for a profit based on their abilities and competition history. If you have a champion horse, you can make a substantial amount of money by putting it up for sale.
How to Breed Horses in The Sims 4
Breeding horses in The Sims 4 requires more attention and specific skills. To produce a foal, you’ll need to breed an Adult Stallion or Elder Stallion with an Adult Mare. However, it’s crucial that the stallion and mare have a good-standing relationship. Keep in mind that Elder Mares cannot get pregnant due to their older age.
Establishing a positive companionship with your horses is essential, as it unlocks social interactions and allows you to encourage them to socialize and breed. Choosing horses with compatible traits can make the process easier and reduce the risk of adverse outcomes. For example, Friendly horses won’t mesh well with Aggressive or Defiant horses.
Mares will socialize independently, and over time, you’ll see if the mare becomes pregnant. During the pregnancy, you’ll need to take special care of the horse as it will have increased hunger and frequent exhaustion. You won’t be able to ride or mount the horse until the foal is born.
When the mare goes into labor, soothe the horse to ease the tension. Once the foal is born, you can welcome it into your home and see if it has acquired any good traits from a championship horse.
