List of Items & elements I would really love to see in the upcoming Horses pack but likely won't

Let me be clear here. In my view the concept of an Expansion expands game play usually across the board. It should add and update older packs give new designs and experiences to old skills as well. Now that I have seen the new pack I do feel that this pack is just another in a series of obvious missed opportunities.

Items
  • Better & Higher Obstacles - Let's be real they were better in Sims 3, if the Sims 4 pictures are to be believed.
  • Pool Table & Accessories for it
  • The Mechanical Bull Another No Brainer item that this pack absolutely screams for
  • Pottery Making, Basket Weaving & the Textile Weaving (rugs & blankets) - All better choices for new hobby skills than nectar making for this region. Don't get me wrong I love Nectar making but it would have been better in Provence, Tuscany or Napa Valley. This feels shoehorned in order to appease us and not just a little tawdry given the setting.

  • Corn Hole Game
  • Rocking Horse for children
  • Saloon Doors - I haven't seen any in the pictures so it remains to be seen
  • Spittoon
  • Cow Hide Sofa, Love Seat & Chair - This is a classic set featured in Sims 2 and I believe Sims 1. Would have matched the dining chairs I saw
  • Stage Coach Wheel Fence
  • Barb Wire Fence
  • Turquoise Jewelry

Elements
  • Goats and sheep that aren't mini. Sheep should have been in Cottage Living. Llamas in Jungle Adventure. Goats are perfect here with the horses.
  • EL Chupacabra - I stand by my decision

  • Skeet Shooting - I think that even though it is usually associated with rich folk I feel like it would have been a positive inclusion.

  • Update to Flower arranging to make flower garlands for Horses & Dogs
  • Pool Tournaments
  • Venomous Snakes that have the potential to bite. Personally would want the Rattlesnake and have it actually rattle. Such rugged areas should have equally unpleasant denizens
  • Getting Water from Cactus
  • Dust Devil & Drought as new weather related experiences

    They could have add at least a horse race to the package where you can bet on the fastest horses, or you could even raise a racehorse yourself. But so far it seem more like another Cottage Living..

    Saloon doors is must item

    and I will angry poop if they're still not adding saloon door that functions as door with this pack

    they already had 2 chances strangerville and get famous
    and even almost a third chance with copperdale
    since the shell buildings there are very yeehaw

    if its still not in a horse pack set in desert yeehaw land ...
    what on earth does it take to get some functional saloon doors?

    I personally like Cottage Living but I think it suffers from a few points:
    • No Fairies - That pack screamed for them. Not having them was foolish
    • Llamas - Should have been in Jungle Adventures as they are South American in origin, fudging the exact country though
    • No Sheep - Cottage Living was clearly set in the Cotswolds and Sheep are a main economy driver there. They could have easily done full grown sheep and had two sources of wool.
    • The Grocery Kiosk is not the substitute for a full Grocery Market or even a Farmers Market Lot which would have been clearly a superior choice
    • Sewing would have been a better choice than Needle Point decorative Items
    • I won't get into the Cows being tied to the shed but it was a little less than ideal

    Recipes that should have been in Cottage Living but weren't
    • Bacon Butty
    • Beans on Toast
    • Bubble & Squeak
    • Christmas (Plum) Pudding - Baking Update
    • Cornish Pasty - Baking Update
    • Eton Mess
    • Full English Breakfast
    • Lancashire Hot Pot
    • Mince Pie - Baking Update
    • Pie & Mash
    • Rice Pudding
    • Sausage Roll - Baking Update
    • Scones - Baking Update
    • Scotch Eggs
    • Shepherds Pie
    • Spotted D*I*C*K (actual name and not a vulgarity)
    • Tea Sandwiches & High Tea in general
    • Toad in the Hole - Baking Update
    • Victoria Sponge - Baking Update
    • Welsh Rarebit

    I want to see Death riding in on a white horse. If Death can snorkel when a sim drowns in the oceans of Sulani, then why not ride his white horse? 👌🏻😂
