what is the point of goats in the sims...? 

i was about to come here to comment this!!!

​@@sombrerodogare u sure about that

I like the sheep better but they're both adorable

the way they jump around 🥹😊❤️

@@ninimeggie4771 same

I bought them all.. it was a nightmare and i never bought one since ;-;

They’re so cute, their gameplay should be same as cats and dogs. Haven’t watched any video’s about this horse pack, since Kayla explained how they work (in the 800 goat video). 😞

I'm genuinely cackling 😂

and a majestic cat would be named mayo slays

or carry on the condiment theme with a horse named Horse Radish ! or a sheep named Lamb Sauce or TaBaaa Sco ? (i’m struggling)

@@aquasiox4033I love these suggestions 😂😂😂

GOD DAMN IT

Oh yess!!

That's an awesome idea!!

Yes that would be super fun! Poor Stanley though…

This is so cool, I might do it myself. Thank you!

This is such a good idea!! I hope she sees this!

Oh wow I did not know that "filly" only refers to female foals. Thank your for sharing! I learned something :)

the only reson I know this is cuz I wache my litle pony

yeah when she opened the relationship/skills panel (how do you call it lol) for Hurricane it said filly! I didn't know this word before

@@ppermoons haha i didn’t even notice that! i was just a horse girl growing up but it’s cool it’s in the game

Yesss!!! Must hug the babies!!

I hope that eventually we can own bunnies and keep them as family pets. That would be amazing!

Mini goats 🥹

Both

@@Ferindel yeah I would love an adopt feature like on stray dogs

Bunnies are more helpful than the goats in my experience

They are objects, this is why you can put them in your inventory, so I guess they can't work like the other animals

Even more importantly, why are all the goats female?

@@rawmilk905 true

@@rawmilk905 In fairness, so are all the cows. A rampaging bull or two would add a whole new level of excitement to Henford on Bagley.

@@dianacfleming Cows and bulls are kept differently from how goats are kept. It's less of an issue with the cow tethered to the animal shed. You can only fit one shed on many lots and even if you can fit two, it tends to look a bit strange. In contrast, if a sim is going to keep goats, they will most likely be keeping several. It is very odd that none of them can really be billy goats. We should have gotten something more like the chickens from Cottage Living: two sexes, two ages, and the ability to breed them.

Good idea!❤

Yes, you're really not gonna get any weird combinations of the parents. Theyll usually look like one of the parents when it comes to coat pattern/color. At most theyll be a shade or two darker or lights most of the time. If they have any white markings (stars/socks etc) then those will be different and unique. So itd be better to keep the same pattern they get and just touch it up with one of the brushes to make it more unique and change the shapes a bit. Give them x/4 white socks instead of their parents, change how much they go up the leg, drag the star/forehead mark to a slightly different spot and change the shape a bit. My family only does thoroughbreds, but i feel like if you're mixing breeds that are vastly different like a Clydesdale and another breed there might be some differences in body shape and size as well (thicker neck/legs etc). BUT for coat pattern and color its pretty straightforward from what i've seen.

horses change their coat colours many times throughout their life! i once irl had a foal who was born completely black and now 13yrs later he’s flea bitten grey!

@@sombrerodog i wouldn't say many times. More like usually a gradual change from one color to another. However thats more akin to a baby deer or lion loosing their spots as they grow up as their coat will change when they lose their foal coat. Grey's in particular are a weird case as they start with a base colour that gets diluted by dominant grey pigment. Not like a horse is genetically changing their coat from one parent to the other.

@@silverliening6511 when i said they change colour many times i meant within reason😭 obviously your chestnut mare isn’t going to become a grey

Yeah that is a terrible example actually! Almost all alleles for white spotting are simple dominants, so 50% of the foals would, in fact, have the pattern! :)

I'm honestly interested, could you please elaborate why it's a bad idea?

@@unknowable4147 a western saddle has something called a horn at the so when you jump you lean forward and it’s not that comfortable to get that in your stomach it’s not a bad idea but an English saddle doesn’t have that so it’s easier to lean forward.

simmers, like, the people themselves? the sims? the world is based on western US

@@durdleduc8520 I meant the sims

Living in the Deep South near the western states, I’ve only ever seen people using western saddles. I’ve never seen one like the English one in this pack

"There’s a snake in my boot!"

@@katanah3195 Yeah 😂😂😂

Right?? The pack is so lacking in features tbh like they added goats/sheep, cool, but there’s nothing that you can do with them so

Yeah, it is self sufficiency. I like using it bc you don’t get penalised but ugh it’s annoying. There’s a mod to fix it iirc

Everytime I hear about NAPs, all I hear is how buggy they are. 😂 I am so glad I didn't get Eco Lifestyle and got Get Together instead.

Given that non-bay and chestnut are both recessive it is actually entirely possible for a bay and a (bay based) grey to have a black or chestnut foal if they were both heterozygous for non-bay (which could lead to a black foal) or chestnut. Now if both parents were chestnut then they couldn’t have a black foal, and if both were black they couldn’t have a bay foal, but two bays really could have any other ‘base’ colour, lol. It’s just statistically more likely the foal would be bay like the parents.

And given a ‘red’ horse with a ‘white’ mane and tail is just a chestnut with flaxen two bays could totally have that as flaxen doesn’t show up in bay horses, just like how bay doesn’t show up on chestnut. Unless you were meaning the silver dapple modifier which, yeah, wouldn’t show up out of no where as it is dominant, just like grey.

@@spots6450 I do understand that. 🙂 I was definitely trying to over simplify it. Lol There are a LOT of genes that truly determine coat color. And like I said, in real life you have to take the whole DNA picture to figure out what they could have. And not knowing what these Sim horses parents looked like, it's impossible to know what all other color options are actually a possibility. Sure, we can assume chestnut and black are options but they *are* less likely. So it doesn't bother me as being wholly unrealistic in the sims, especially in the case where ancestry can't be accounted for. But I forgot about flaxen as an option! Though in my example I was thinking a true grey mane, like plucking color traits from each Sim horse parent and mixing and matching them on a baby. That's not really how horse genetics work with color. Silver and dilution are a whole other thing so I wasn't going to go there. 😂 Though it is really fun to dive into genetics, I don't expect a sims game to have hyper realistic horse genetics. And we can always change it in cas. 😉

I don't know if it was added in an update but there is a pop-up asking if you want to proceed and kill your sim of you do that now

also if a parent horse carries grey The Foal will be grey even irl lol

You got foal triplets?? That is so cool! But only one of them had any kind of variation / not a carbon copy of a parent?

Oh so that's why my trash can cannot survive for a single day 😭😭

@@_Lavande_ Yup! I kept wondering who was coming over and knocking down my trash can every day until I actually saw her do it!
