In The Sims 4, the Horse Ranch Game Pack includes a significant focus on training horses. Players have the opportunity to assist their pets in enhancing four different skills through a range of methods. While some skills are more easily cultivated, others necessitate practice using items like barrels.
Managing horse care in The Sims 4 is feasible, and Simmers can endeavor to train their horses in order to earn additional Simoleons by selling well-trained horses or achieving success in competitions.
How To Train Horses In The Sims 4
In order to fully train a Horse in The Sims 4, players need to focus on developing four distinct Skills - Temperament, Agility, Jumping, and Endurance. Each Skill requires its own specific training technique and equipment.
As an alternative option, Simmers who prefer not to invest time and effort in skill development can opt to use the Community Board and pay Simoleons to have their Horse trained.
How To Level Up Temperament
The Temperament Skill enhances communication between Horses and other Sims and pets, reducing the chances of the rider being thrown off while riding.
Leveling up the Temperament Skill in The Sims 4 is relatively effortless, as it can be achieved through basic socializing. Taking care of the Horse, such as brushing its mane or cleaning its hoofs, also contributes to advancing this Skill.
A high Temperament Skill helps with the following competitions; Show Jumping, Western Pleasure, and Ultimate Horse Championship.
How To Level Up Agility
Effect: Agility affects how fast and easy the Horse moves around.
In addition to seeking specialized training for the Horse using Simoleons, Simmers have the option to utilize Horse Barrel and train the Horse through the following alternatives:
Method | Result |
|---|---|
Practice Barrels | The standard method helps build the Skill slowly |
Race Barrels (Available at Agility level 5) | The more expert way of training as it slightly increases Skill gain |
Intensely Train | This intense method boosts Skill gain in The Sims 4, but the Horse becomes tired more easily |
How To Level Up Jumping
Effect: Jumping obviously affects how well and high a Horse can jump.
The High Jumping Skill enables horses to compete in Show Jumping, Endurance Racing, and the Ultimate Horse Championship events.
During Horse Jump training, horses will repeatedly jump over a bar until it falls to the ground. Players must then dismount, repair the bar, and remount in order to resume training. There are multiple training options available for the Horse Jump activity.
Method | Result |
|---|---|
Practice Basic Jumps | The standard method helps build the Skill slowly |
Practice Advanced Jumps (Available at Jumping level 5) | The more expert way of training as it slightly increases Skill gain and the bar is more likely to fall |
Intensely Train | This intense method boosts Skill gain, but the Horse becomes tired more easily |
How To Level Up Endurance
Effect: Endurance basically shows how resilient a Horse is; the higher the Skill, the less fatigued it becomes.
Once the Horse reaches a satisfactory level of Endurance, it becomes eligible to participate in Endurance Races, Show Jumping events, and the prestigious Ultimate Horse Championship competitions.
The Endurance Skill receives a significant boost when the Horse is taken on rides. Additionally, Simmers will reap the benefit of an increased Horse Riding Skill. There are three different types of rides available, with each unlocking at a specific level.
Method | Result |
|---|---|
Relaxed Ride | The standard method helps build the Skill slowly |
Energetic Ride | The more expert way of training as it slightly increases Skill gain |
Intense Ride (Available at Horse Riding level 2) | This intense method boosts Skill gain, but the Horse becomes tired more easily |
The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.
