Brief outline of the game

This newest expansion for The Sims 4 allows your Sims to own and care for horses, mini goats and mini sheep. Bond with your horses as you train them for competitions or just take them for leisurely rides. Mature horses can be bred, mini goats can be milked and mini sheep can be sheared for wool.

Content specific issues

As with the base game and previous expansions, the game contains moderate violence towards humans. Characters can die in a variety of ways, including by electrocution, drowning and being set on fire. However, all the deaths are presented in an exaggerated and unrealistic manner. The game also features an activity known as "woohoo", which implies sexual activity is taking place but without showing any detail. For example, characters can enter a shower together, wearing towels. Love hearts appear and the shower door shakes, although what is going on inside is completely obscured by steam. The characters then come back out still wrapped in their towels.
