Grab your nearest horse and saddle up for the Horse Ranch expansion coming to The Sims 4. In this expansion, you’ll get to experience life as a rancher. This is nothing like Cottage Living where you could own and operate a farm. You’ll be able to train, breed, own your horse, and partake in various events. Horses in The Sims 4 have plenty of accessories and unique appearances you can play around with to create a distinctive horse to your liking. In this guide, we’re going to talk about the best saddles you can use in The Sims 4.
What are the Best Saddles in The Sims 4?
If you’ve never owned or been on a horse before you’re probably unfamiliar with what a saddle is. A saddle is used for riding a horse. It’s made of leather and is fastened to the back of the horse and is raised from the front and back to provide the rider comfort. If you’ve seen the trailer for the Horse Ranch expansion you’ve probably noticed different saddles on the horses.
Saddles in the game range from western-styled saddles to English saddles. The difference between the two is purely cosmetic, however, in real life, a western saddle is bulkier. An English saddle is used for easy movement so a horse can jump around. So, which saddle is the best in The Sims 4? If you want to train your horse to perform jumps we recommend using the English saddle. If you want to focus on breeding and ranch life, get the western-styled saddles. Ultimately, saddles are cosmetic items and have no effect on the horse’s performance.
How can you Customize your Horse in The Sims 4?
Horses in The Sims 4 work similarly to how you can customize a cat or dog. If you want to create a horse you need to access your CAS (Create-A-Sim) menu. Click on the option to create a horse and you’ll be greeted with various breeds you can choose from. Pick the breed you want and customize how you want their tail to look, the mane, and what accessories to add to them. You can even make your horse into a unicorn by adding a unicorn horn! Finish designing your horse by giving them traits and adding a saddle to them.
