My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
honestly hard to say, personally with my big ranch I have on pause and my current play both work but with me it's more of if I couldn't have one I'd have the other so if they are on your radar maybe flip a coin and just grab whatever it falls on. While both had some bugs there was also some dramatics with both so you can't really go wrong unless you have less interest in one and pick that anyways.

Wow, Horse Ranch or For Rent? Well, in Chestnut World is where you can ride & train horses, also there's cute little lambs & goats.
In For Rent it brings a beautiful new kind of Island World with mysteries, secrets & duplexes.
So, it just depends on which theme your interested right now.
For me definitely Horse Ranch. I love the horses, goats, and lambs, the horse training and competitions. And my horse, Domino, is just so full of personality.
He and Julianna are the best of friends.
He's funny.
Are we related?
He's very friendly and gets along well with the other farm animals.
Both are still on my list of packs to buy. But I am afraid I will have to wait for a sale. So horse ranch will be first for me. Chances are good for horse ranch to go on sale if EA holds a sale like they did each year for Christmas.
I am looking forward to chestnut ridge and nectar making. Also to the beautiful tomarang and multi family lots but that will have to wait for a bit longer.
If you’re not interested in animals (horses, sheep, goats) then you may not find so much to do in Horse Ranch. The world is beautiful, the BB and CAS are nice, there is nectar making, but I think it’s mainly the animals that make this pack so good.
On the other hand, I personally wasn’t that interested in the whole tenants/landlords thing, but I still find plenty to love in For Rent. As well as the beautiful world (which you can use boats in if you have IL), BB and CAS there are the new kitchen appliances, new maintenance objects, functional radiators, lot challenges, mould, hopscotch, marbles, new cultural aspects, and probably a load more things I’m forgetting.
I personally am an animal lover so I would always go for animals first, but if you’re not, you may really enjoy For Rent.
I think Horse Ranch is a better choice than For Rent. I wouldn't buy For Rent unless EA releases a patch for the many, MANY bugs before you buy. I thought I was going to luck out on not having the bugs since I'm not playing as either a tenant or a landlord, but no I went to move some sims in from manage worlds and the game decided that my luxury apartments were worth charging four BILLION dollars per unit in rent.
I only got Horse Ranch a couple of weeks ago and if it had any bugs on release they must have fixed them because it's been perfectly smooth for me. I love having horses, the goats and sheep are ADORABLE, nectar making is fun and an awesome money maker. The world is beautiful and while it doesn't have a lot of lots, it has more than Tamarang and is a large world with plenty of places to ride.
It's ultimately your decision, so buy the one which appeals to you most.
Horse Ranch is my dream EP but I don't own it yet. I got to pick which one I wanted for my birthday and I picked For Rent, because I want to buy Horse Ranch on a sale and I also wanted the bonus items for For Rent. So it was the sensible decision. I've had a blast planning rental residentials in For Rent, but I haven't had time to experience much of the actual gameplay yet. Sorry I may not be much of a help, just wanted to say that I faced the very same problem.
Apparently, For Rent is almost non functional with the amount of bugs at the moment. I don't own it, so can't speak from my own experience, but Horse Ranch would be my pick even if For Rent did work. I love animals, and I just think the whole idea of it is more fun.

I haven’t done very much yet with the tenant/landlord stuff in For Rent (though I have done some), but I have spent plenty of time in the world and using other features of the pack, and I actually haven’t encountered any bugs yet. I’m not saying those bugs don’t exist because they obviously do, and I hope they’ll be fixed soon, but I’ve had a landlord buy a property, get a tenant, do maintenance on the water and electrics, I’ve had a nosey sim eavesdrop and discover secrets, I’ve added other rental properties to Tomarang, etc. So I really don’t think you should get the impression that the pack isn’t functional or is unplayable. I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve done with the new pack so far
There is some cross-pack compatibility with Home Chef Hustle and For Rent. For example the Night Market tent fits over the Home Chef Hustle table. And the Early Access For Rent cart grill looks so perfect next to the Home Chef Hustle selling table. The tea kettle is a must. I enjoy the pressure cooker and new recipes. The White Lily set is a large matching set of furniture and items that look lovely in a tiny home.
I do love the male CAS clothing, sleeping bag, and nectar making from Horse Ranch.
Before making your final choice, I would consider cross-pack compatibility and debug items even more than the horses and rentals. It is the little stuff that we use every day in all our worlds that makes a pack great.

Oh, well that's good to hear. As I say, I can't speak from my own experience, just from what people are saying on the bug report forum. Hopefully they'll do some fixing because I would like to get it in a sale eventually.
If I had to choose I would pick Horse Ranch first. I love my farms and animals from Cottage Living, and enjoy playing my sims living a self-sustaining life on a farm. Horse Ranch added even more to my gameplay as I love horses and the 2 packs are awesome together! I put the Cottage Living animals on my ranches and the horses on my farms. I use the B/B and CAS from both for farmers and ranchers, so I use these 2 packs alot! I bought For Rent as well as I have been wanting gameplay specifically for apartments as I have already built several, and it was difficult because sims saw the whole building as theirs, constantly helping themselves to other apartments! So I am happy to be able to keep them separate, plus now I can have apartments with families of up to 8 in each apartment rather than just the lot! It depends on how you want to play and what suits your gameplay the best. The worlds on both packs are beautiful!
Just like to add that despites plenty of bugs reported, I've played in Tomarang nearly 24/7 since release and have not yet seen any bugs. I did not focus on the main feature Rentable units though, but I did build a couple complexes and move in tenants. Also played at the premade complexes in Tomarang with no problems - but not for sim-weeks. So, there is still plenty to do while waiting for the 1st obligatory patch to arrive

I haven't bought either yet since my computer is struggling to run the game and welp
but I feel like I have so much use for both
I guess it all boils down to these two questions:
city vs countryside?
children vs pets?

Which previous packs did you enjoy most and why? This would make it easier to suggest one for you.
I love For Rent for the beautiful world and the build/buy...
3 pics of Build/Buy below the spoiler
...and Horse Ranch for the horses and goats 🐎🐐 They follow us wherever we go.
We can't live without horses and goats, so Horse Ranch it is!
