    I have a sim that loves wearing a cowboy hat. He’s a programmer now, he moved over from the business career since that always made him tense. I made an apartment for him to live in, in one of the apartments in Evergreen Harbor, he is currently living with a couple of other guy sims but, I think he will be more at home on a small ranch, than the apartment. Maybe he can do freelance programming as well.

    @Ellupelluellu haha yes!
    And yes I will show picures. I'll start to build the shell and a bit of decorating before the expansion and do the rest with the new objects 😊

    I have been researching into some Strangetown things and turns out there was once Strangetown hotel and casino in some handheld sims game

    if I have spare lot in town I might add something inspired by that

    it seems that the original one was inspired by overlook hotel from The Shining

    there was also Strangetown jail which might be fun as we have the jail set from get famous too

    So, besides my updates with the new animals for my previous households.
    I’ve been brainstorming the idea of a new household that’s a mix blend of
    “Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman” & “Outlander”.
    I’ve always been a fan of Jane Seymour in Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman.🤩
    And I remember reading all the novels of the Outlander series years before it became a TV Show. I’ve loved the stories of time travelling. Also, it was way so cool that the character of Jame just happens to be a Fraser from the same family line as me.😍
    Anyways, getting back to my unusual idea of the blend is because both Claire Fraser & Michaela Quinn were both Doctors. As for their husbands Jamie Fraser & Byron Sully, they both supported their wives as Doctors & they could both hunt. Furthermore, both couples were such wonderful parents.🥰😉

    The list with the new items inspired me to redecorate my Escargot Winery 🐌
    Even though I don't like the new world, this pack will keep me busy for a while in the other worlds ;)

    Fun to read about what everyone is doing!
    As always I will be using the same save and same sims. I'm moving three or four families to chestnut ridge.
    One is my main vampire sim Sky, his best friend and the infant and toddler. Here is my attempt at a cow boy look for him.

    Once there here he will meet native ranchers who can help him ease into the ranch lifestyle and learn how to ride horses!

    I did create a new sim as a potential love interest for sky's best friend!

    Since I rarely play romance I think a romantic storyline in the west would be fun!

    However, the reason sky is moving to the west is for work. I always had him and his brother working as undercover investigators or police so now it's time to investigate a group of Aliens hiding out in chestnut ridge after their base in strangerville was uncovered. They will do any and everything to protect "mother" at all costs so they can be considered possibly dangerous.

    The boy with the pink mohawk is my teen who was expelled from highschool. He joined these group of rockers and got infected by bizarre plants and fruits and became an alien.

    1. My criminal sim will be a wild west baddie, maybe run a bar.

    2. My old hippie outdoorsy guy will ride horses

    3. My nature loving kid will bond with goats

    4. I will paint horses to look like either My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Mane 6, or Bojack Horseman, with Mr. Peanut Butter as a werewolf.

    5. I will make a werewolf ride a horse.

    6. There will be a pancake/flapjack themed restaurant.

    I really like this list!! 😂

    Do you already have a particular sim or family in mind? Will they be moving to Chestnut Ridge? Are you starting fresh with a brand new sim or sim family?

    I'm gonna move out my heir and have her move to chestnut ridge with no money rags to riches style
  • AncientMuseAncientMuse Posts: 996 Member
    A horse, a gal, and her sleeping bag.... and wherever the wind tumbleweeds wind might take them.

    A rags to riches story. Cowgirl style.


    .... and somewhere in between that, I'll be building a shiny new big ranch and renovating the world/prebuilds to my liking.

    .... and the nectar maker is screaming "Tartosa Nectary & Vineyard!". So I'll be bulldozing that 50x50 wedding lot at some point too.



    Some day in the future, in a galaxy far far far far far away, AncientMuse will finally finish all of her WIP builds she currently has on the go.

    Some day indeed. :D

    I'll start with building a proper 1.5 story home, and then have my writer Sim move there.

    I've been playing around with a Wild West set made by Severinka. It has a saloon door, but it wouldn't work for me at first. I think the set was last updated in 2021. Using MOO and putting the door inside an arch, though, I was able to get the door to work--for the most part. It only swings inwards, even when sims go out. Not sure if that can be fixed or not. If anyone wants to experiment with this, let me know your results. I don't have any experience with creating CC for the Sims.

    Severinka's Wild West Set
    The set includes 9 objects: juice bar, juice bar shelf, barstool, saloon door, saloon board, piano, travel guide, sheriff hat (deco), photo collage.

    Severinka also made several farm/ranch deco animals, including horses. I placed some horses at the bar in Strangerville just for fun and did a little renovating of the bar itself. Just anticipating when Horse Ranch comes out. 😉

    I have a farmer couple living in Henford. That couple will open a farmermarket type of shop/bakery. They are still at the very beginning of their farming but by the time Horse Ranch comes, I hope they already have children so they can immediately start practise riding etc and the horses are like natural addition to the other animals they already own. Then they will slow and steady build the rest of their dream farm and market. I love challenges and to make it even more interesting I will keep the lot challenges off-the-grid and simple living on.

    If LittleDica made a small western set including that darn saloon door I would be thrilled. These days I'm very picky about any CC and would rather EA content... but LittleDica makes some very nice maxis match content that is so polished. 👌

    Another thought I had is wanted posters. It's possible we haven't seen the swatches for them yet.

    @SimplyJen I have a few things by LittleDica. Furniture. Good quality. I don't use a lot of CC in general because then I'd have to keep up with too many updates! I mostly use tuning mods. But I heard that we probably won't have a saloon door in the Horse pack, so I went looking for a possible solution. A saloon door may be more difficult to code than we think. The folding doors EA gave us a while back don't open and close either; they're permanently open; they don't move. 🤔

    Maybe we'll get lucky and it will come in the patch for the EP...we can dream, right? lol

    I didn't see saloon doors listed in the "leaked" BB catalog so I think it's safe to assume. Agreed it's likely because they didn't have the extra resources to make a unique animation for it. Honestly I wouldn't care if it worked like a normal door. Such a shame they left it out.

    I plan to continue my current Save, which started as my Eco Living rags to riches family. In addition to juicing/fizzing, gardening, flower arranging....I plan to move them to a ranch in the new world & go full on farm/ranch for them. Looking forward to exploring the nectar making skill. I feel like Cottage Living will integrate well with this pack and even Eco Living. They do have a lot of kids....so I'll probably have to move out the teens if I want a horse & maybe the dog too...so that's kinda the downside, just the spacing. But this Sim family is perfect for the new pack, so I'm getting excited for it

    Another idea I just had: A family consisting entirely of animals in the beach neighbourhood of Brindleton Bay. I don't have anyone living there yet, so that would be a nice incentive to explore it. The two sims (maybe a married couple) are a werewolf and a mermaid, and they have a cat, a dog, a raccoon, maybe a few chickens, and a horse, of course. Too bad the water isn't swimmable, that would have been awesome for the mermaid. Oh well, a home pool it is then.
