In The Sims 4, Sims progress through various life stages at different rates, with the length of time varying significantly. While Sims only spend a short amount of time as babies, it can take several weeks of in-game time for them to transition from Young Adult to Adult. On the other hand, animals, such as horses, have three life stages: youngling, adult, and elder. The introduction of horses in The Sims 4 through the Horse Ranch expansion has raised questions among players regarding the time it takes for a foal to grow into an adult horse, as well as any potential methods to expedite the process. This comprehensive guide aims to provide players with all the essential information about aging up horses in The Sims 4.
How Long Does It Take For a Foal to Age Up
In The Sims 4's Horse Ranch expansion, players will quickly discover that foals take a significant amount of time to age up. It will take a total of eight in-game days for a foal to reach adulthood on Normal life speed. Unfortunately, during this time, foals are limited in their ability to learn the various horse skills offered by the Horse Ranch pack. They can only increase their Temperament Skill, while adult horses have the opportunity to train their Endurance Skill, Jumping Skill, and Agility Skill.
How to Age Up a Horse

Unfortunately, there is no legitimate way to age up a horse in The Sims 4. The Age Up treat from the Cats & Dogs expansion pack does not work for horses, and unlike Sims, there is no simple cake-blowing option for horses. Players who wish to age up their horses will need to activate cheats in their Sims 4 save file.
To access the cheat command text box on console, players need to simultaneously press all trigger buttons. On PC, they should press Ctrl + Shift + C. And on Mac, the combination is Command + Shift + C. Once the command text box appears, players should enter "testingcheats on" and confirm to enable cheats.
To change the age of an existing Sim in the Create-a-Sim menu, players need to enable all functions by entering "cas.fulleditmode" in the command text box. This allows the ability to alter a Sim's life stage, allowing players to transform foals into adults or elderly horses, and vice versa. The Sims 4 is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
