I doubt the description is correct, or it must have been very badly auto-translated. EA would never praise their own animations like that
That said, I never thought of horses possibly being restricted to one lot or trails, but it could actually be likely. Re cars, I never understood what my sims would use them for as the world is not open like in TS3. Same goes for horses, we should expect some sort of arena to use them, being a sports venue or ranch. Yes, they could benefit from the hood's common ground, but probably not without routing issues as they would meet Judith Ward ad Nancy Landgraab frequently, and those ladies would not be interesting in stepping aside to let a horse pass on the path. So, a riding trail in a new world, a horse racing arena (will most likely be rabbit hole), and your ranch might be it. I'm actually more concerned with what lots would be large enough to keep a horse if they are stuck to that lot. A stable and a field might get into only a handful lots... Can we hope for a communal ranch where your sim just rent one slot in a stable for their horse? I guess that is how it often works in real life. So many questions
I would like to see horses in the game but I'm concerned about how it's going to work. If they make them like the cow/lama then they are going to be very bland however, if they are done like the cats/dogs then I'm not sure how we could even have a "Ranch". Because a family of 5, well then I will want a barn cat, and well we have to have a farm dog.... and well now I have one slot left for a horse. Not much of a ranch. lol
Iβd have my doubts about horse racing in a Kentucky Derby sense. Theyβd have to write a whole program for it in order to have the AI control the other horses (even if it was just a rabbit hole) in order to get an outcome that results in a ln order of finish and I donβt think the game has ever had anything like that before as precedent. I think the code could accommodate something like barrel racing or show jumping because thatβs more along the lines of things the game can already do (the video games, basketball, etc) as a more one-on-one type of thing.

I could see a ranch possibly being a lot type and having horses owned by different sims there. Iβd actually like that very much. I board on a 56 acre ranch and weβve got a couple of arenas, paddocks, a couple of pastures and some trails (not horribly long trails, but I can get about 5 miles if I ride the loop twice). I wouldnβt even really mind if horses were locked to it, just make a really big lot like a 64x64 (or bigger) and they could have some room to do what they need. Canβt even ride off property where I board (well, I can, but itβs a one lane each direction road with no shoulders and people drive way too freaking fast). Only way off really is to trailer (and if I could just stick my pony in my pocket inventory in real life, it would save the fuss of having to hitch up my trailer, etc so much easier π)
with sims logic the horse probably goes inside the backpack and from there can be placed on various horse related activity items or they can be placed down anywhere like the bicycles
or both
at home theres probably some item to blob your horse on to take care of it the way we have the sheds
I'm hoping that this time its not a shed though but something that can be built around easily
if we have wild horses those probably won't go everywhere like in ts3 but probably spawn at particular point in new world similar to how greg spawns in certain place

I usually prefer smaller homes (even 30x20 is too big for some of my families), but horses need space, so I have no doubt that the new world will provide it. My guess is that it will be similar to Henford-on-Bagley in that we'll get a town centre for things like markets, bars and the usual community stuff on smaller lots, and the other neighbourhoods will be wide open spaces with big lots and areas to explore outside of them. What concerns me more is the total number of lots, it's probably just going to be around 12 again, not nearly enough to build a dedicated horse community and still have space for public buildings.

If this is an EP, they better have more than 12 lots.
As lovely as that would be, 12 lots have become the new standard for EPs, unfortunately. Evergreen Harbor and Mt. Komorebi were the only EP worlds since Cats & Dogs that had more, and the only worlds with significantly more are San Myshuno, Windenburg, and the two original base game worlds.
as many might have noticed small worlds with small lots is the Simmingal way so I'm not gonna be upset if so
but honestly I think if any world ranch world would have big lots to torment me because that whole build style is pretty much just these massive flat one story houses
maybe indeed there will be town with some western saloon style buildings though which might take smaller lots
my biggest fear is that its too Oasis Springs I wish it looks tad more like Deadtree or next town from Strangerville so I can tie it in the Strangetown realm

I always think I want to build on the big lots, but then I get there and have no idea how to fill it up and make it a nice lot. It's just a big house sitting in the middle with a tree haha
I love animals, so I'm looking forward to this, especially if there are other animals as well as horses! I don't know how they will make it into an expansion pack rather than a game pack, but we'll see what it brings I guess.
