Unleash Your Equestrian Dream in The Sims 4: Horse Ranch - Master the Art of Hosting a Spectacular Ranch Gathering

The Sims 4 is a dynamic and immersive life simulation game that allows players to engage in storytelling, world-building, and relationship creation. While the base game is free, players have the option to enhance their gameplay with DLC, such as the Horse Ranch expansion pack. This expansion pack caters to horse enthusiasts, offering them the opportunity to live out their ranching dreams by raising animals and participating in community ranch events.

One such event is the Ranch Gathering, a social gathering where Sims can make new friends and showcase their farming skills. Similar to other events in the game, hosting a Ranch Gathering comes with various rewards. However, this event requires active involvement from players. To ensure a successful Ranch Gathering in The Sims 4: Horse Ranch, refer to this helpful guide.

How to Host a Ranch Gathering

Ranch Gatherings are enjoyable party events that bring Sims together to partake in Cowpoke dancing, indulge in some Nectar, and relax around a fire pit. It is important for players to ensure that they have interacted with enough Sims to complete all the group objectives. The town center of Chestnut Ridge serves as the ideal location to meet the local community.

There are various ways for players to organize a Ranch Gathering. One option is to schedule it in the future using the in-game calendar. Alternatively, players can also initiate the gathering immediately by using their cell phone. Once the Event Menu is opened, players can locate the Ranch Gathering and choose between goaled or un-goaled options.

Invite friends and acquaintances or make it an "Open Invitation" event. Choose the main household or other venues, just like any other event. To achieve the goals, make sure to buy a Cowpoke Dance Floor, Fire Pit, and Nectar-making equipment.

Ranch Gathering Event Rewards

During Ranch Gatherings, Sims engage in numerous social interactions and participate in group activities. To ensure success, players should actively participate throughout the event to accomplish all the goals within the given time period.

One of the more demanding objectives is to synchronize the group dance, but players can overcome this challenge by creating a group with the guests and having them dance together on a Cowpoke Dance Floor. To successfully complete the eating and drinking tasks, players should also plan ahead by preparing multiple bottles of Nectar and having a grill ready.

Unlike social events that reward players with items, ranch events have a unique reward system. Instead of receiving items, Sims receive a generous donation for their farm upon completion of the event. Achieving a gold medal will yield the highest amount of Simoleons, while even a bronze medal guarantees a minimum reward.

The Sims 4: Horse Ranch is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
