SIMS 3 HORSES VS SIMS 4 HORSES (Full Comparison) | Pinehaven

Sims 4 horse recently released and I wanted to compare it to the old Sims 3 horses from the pets expansion. Both have their pros and cons but lets put them side by side to see which Sims expansion is worth getting.

This video is family friendly.

Another thing with breeding in the Sims3 that people often miss is the fact you could breed your mare to a stud at the equestrian centre. You could also set your stallion as a stud at the centre too. As an equestrian myself that small feature just added so much realism

Sims 3 all the way. Horses were just a bit of a WHOLE pets pack. That was much more in depth than all the sims 4 animal packs together. You could have different types of reptiles, rodents, birds, snakes, turtles, deer, raccoons, unicorns. I remember the new pets tab with all sorts of objects for build/buy as well as CAS objects. People would make really nice stables and arenas. Sims 4 is a joke 😂

A quick correction with breeding sims 3 horses, you can breed different horses together! If horses are 'mates' it simply means it is easier to breed that pair again, and if you want to breed them to another horse it takes a touch more time and effort to up their relationship stats until they can breed together, but horses are not stuck to their 'mate'

Its insane how little tack and items we got for a dedicated horse pack. And don't get me started on genetics and the jumping UGH😭

Sims 3 Pets will always have a deep place in my heart. That game pack is still one of my favorites and a few times a year I love going back to it just for the horses ♥ Sims 4 have some good things to them but they missed out on the key elements in sims 3 that we wanted for the Expansion pack. I do not complain. I have wanted this pack for Sims 4 for years and I am happy that we finally do have it! We can always dream that it could have been more ♥

Sims 3 always felt like more love went into it. Expansions actually worth the price they are, you get a LOT for your money. Sims 4 feels so shallow in comparison. You have to buy 3 separate packs to get half the pets you did in the ONE pack TS3 offered. Honestly just feels like a cash grab at this point they could have blended packs together MUCH better. Plus every sim in the sims 4 has the same personality, occasionally yes you get some crazy person or something but other than that everyone is ‘perfect’ and there’s no difference when you play different families. The modding community is single handedly carrying the sims 4 😅

For the customiser for horses in Sims 3, you didn't have to paint over the markings manually, in the advanced options, you find that marking layer and just change the colour of it, very straight forward, that was one of my favourite bits in the customiser for the Sims 3 :D I was disappointed Sims 4 didn't carry this over tbh

[NawiTheCore]

This comparison could sum up the entire TS3 vs TS4 debate. The Sims 4 excels in art style and CAS/Build mode, while The Sims 3 generally comes out on top when it comes to gameplay and the range of choices. The fact that they went out of their way to code the ability to create custom tracks for your horse is admirable. And let's not forget that they did all this in the SAME EXPANSION, which also added cats, dogs, and DOZENS of small pets, as well as a huge world and tons of content. This is why The Sims 3 will always be the superior game, even if its graphics haven't aged the best.

I’ve never had any issues breeding “pairs” in sims 3. Even if two horses were partners I could breed both of them with other horses in my household🤔

[Kiraiko]

Sims 4 stuff generally looks better than the Sims 3 but that's it. The gameplay is always superior in TS3. I just switched back to the Sims 3 recently because I'm just tired of paying through the nose for such empty games, they look pretty but they get boring after a week or two

[terrimccravy]

I liked the sims 3 horses better. I especially liked the crazy horse babies that came after breeding because you never knew what they would look like and some were pretty awesome! I also liked the larger lots to make a big house and a large horse area too. I liked controlling my horses in sims 3 and how that allowed me to have more pets and people all together.

[JessTheAgilitySpaniel]

Was waiting for someone to do this thank you so much for putting a lot of your time into doing it ❤

[levilarsson]

The sims 3 horseexperience was elite. As a player being able to explore an open world as the horse to now having to have my sims be picking up piles of dung and telling my horse to play with a ball? Also, why cant we jump a full course now? Or do dressage. If we can compete in westernpleasure, why cant we practice it? Where is all the horseitems? Brushes, hoofpicks, wheelbarrows, saltlicks? Why cant I lead my horse or tie it up? I love taking my horse to the conveniencestore in appaloosaplains, have it tied outside drinking some water while my sim did errands.

[TheDawnofVanlife]

I’ve never been alt that keen on controlling pets (you couldn’t control them in Sims 2 either). If you buy the things they need to take care of their needs, they pretty effectively care for themselves. I like the idea of interactions to train them. So I don’t mind Sims 4 not giving control of pets, but since you can’t control them. I wish they didn’t take up a family slot.

That being said, I still think Sims 3 gave you overall more gameplay with horses.

[skttle_]

I think i definitely prefer the models of the sims 3 horses, i just personally enjoy a realistic style more than a stylised one, however i think that the sims 4 has better interactions and easier customisation

[Bloodshewolf]

I think EA really dropped the ball with TS4
So much they could have added from TS3 and improve on them.

[SaPiRful]

My opinion
Style - I like the realistic horses too, and I did like in the beginning to have the horses same as the whole sims, at some point I did download some mods to make them more realistic. Even that some colors based in the sims 4 are terrible and I do color them from zero to fit my desires.
Tack - The sims 4 did disappoint there, I don't remember in the sims 4 what type of halters they had, but as a Western Rider who loves the tack, I wished there was something looking more realistic to Pleasure and Reiner riders, I did download a mod for it at the end.
Animation - I do enjoy the animation from the sims 4 a bit more. Because of how it's built to raise skills with horses, I am not surprised there is no "beginner" animation for horse jumping.
Gameplay - I feel like I don't need to control the horse at most times in the sims 4, they can take care of themselves, it might be only for me to improve relationship between other horses or humans that I would love the control.
Caring - I miss scattering hay, but I actually like picking up the poop, realistic and if you do it as a chore once a day, it usually is enough (I do it as a morning chore to clean stables and pick up the poop).
Training, traits - Disappointing.

I love that we finally got horses, but I do agree that for a dedicated horse pack, the Sims 4 Horse Ranch is pretty disapointing. I was really hoping that we would get many more different interactions with the horses, and I also really hoped that more diciplins would have been included. I've always been sad that dressage is completely off the table in both packs. However, I do think that the Sims 3 did the best job. The Sims 4 team has (sorry) in my opinion been really lazy. There were so many cool features from the Sims 3 that they could've probably easily included in the new pack, since they've already done it before. And also, I REALLY miss the wild horses and unicorns. Why would anyone ever leave them out????

[melaniepos]

I was hoping you’d notice the leading missing from Sims 4. Maybe the Cats & Dogs leash didn’t work for them for some reason? The Sims 4 horses are cute and there are positives, but the Sims 3 had so much more. All this video and unicorns being an occult instead of a costume, not to mention everything else included in the Sims 3 Pets pack.

[NerdyChristian]

I honestly hope that they eventually they update the mod. With more stuff dedicated to horses and more things that you touched on, like what needs to be renewed from Sims 3 to Sims 4.
