The Sims Freeplay- Guide to Horses

July 3, 2015June 25, 2020 weightlessmagic5 Comments

Once you unlock the stables by completing The Need for Steed quest you can buy horses.

What can horses do?

Horses are mainly used for hobbies:

Horse Tricks– complete for first time to unlock 2 star horses
Vaulting– complete for first time to unlock 3 star horses
Showjumping– complete for first time to unlock the unicorn

Star ratings:

1 Star Horses- can only complete horse tricks hobby
2 Star Horses- can complete horse tricks and vaulting but not showjumping
3 Star Horses- can complete all 3 horse hobbies (horse tricks, vaulting and showjumping)

Happiness

But horses have to be in a good mood to partake in hobbies, if you click on a horse you can see a happiness bar, the lower it is, the sadder the horse will be.

How do you fill up the happiness bar?

Feed horse
Groom horse
Pet horse

Times vary depending on the star rating the horse has

You can also ride a horse!

Select ride horse then your sim will get on the horse, you then click on the ground and the ‘go there’ arrow will show up, that is where the horse will walk to:

When you are done you can click on the horse and select dismount:

Can I get my horses to stay in their stable?

No, the horses like to wander around, they won’t stay in their stable, you will have to ride them into the stable if you want them to go in there.

How do I add a new horse?

You need to build an empty stable (like building a house to add a new sim) you can have a maximum of 6 horses as you can build 6 stables.

I would like to rename my horse, how do I do this?

Click on the horse and rename is the second option.

How do I delete a horse?

The same way you would delete a sim, click on it and on the right next to its name there is a red cross, click that to delete.

The Sims Freeplay- Hobbies: Vaulting

September 3, 2014March 23, 2020 weightlessmagic10 Comments

STABLES – 2 STAR HORSES – ADULT SIMS ONLY – PRIZES: 3 STAR HORSES AND 3LP

Once you have completed the Horse Tricks hobby and built the vaulting arena (read my guide to the stables post for more information) an adult sim will be able to use a 2 star horse to begin this hobby.

Send an adult sim to the stables, click on the horse and select:

Vaulting- 5 hours

After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the ribbon collectibles. Every time your sim does the vaulting hobby your vaulting hobby skill level up percentage will increase, once you reach 100% you will level up, there are 6 levels. You need to reach level 6 to be able to unlock all of the ribbon collectibles, once unlocked you will be able to find them.

The table below shows the level up percentage:

This may change in future updates

LEVEL	Vaulting
1-2	50%
2-3	40%
3-4	30%
4-5	25%
5-6	20%

For example you would need to do horse tricks 2 times to reach level 2 from level 1

The next table shows you for each level what ribbon collectibles you unlock (so you can then find those ones too) and also the level up reward that a second and future sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:

LEVEL	TITLE	1st TIME LEVEL UP UNLOCKS	2nd+ TIMES LEVEL UP REWARD
1	Horse Crasher	Handstanding and Super Side Hanger are unlocked in the hobby collection	–
2	Flailing Jelly Legs	Flag Flyer and King of the Mill are now unlocked in the hobby collection	250XP
3	Single Second Poser	Scissor Rider and Kick Stander are now unlocked in the hobby collection	500XP
4	Stable Statue	Flank and Swing Off are now unlocked in the hobby collection	S750
5	Poised Horse Master	Horse Surfer and High Hoof are now unlocked in the hobby collection	10,000 Town Value
6	Horseback Gymnast	One Hand Fluke and The Saddleless Sally are now unlocked in the hobby collection. You can now complete the collection!	1LP

NOTE: only the first sim completing this hobby needs to get to level 6 to unlock all the collectibles, future sims will be able to find any collectible even if they are only on level 1 in this hobby!

You won’t find a new collectible each time, you will get repeats, if this happens just keep going, you will find them eventually! If it is still taking too long you can use the lucky spin on the row where you cannot find the item, this will cost LPs, when you click on the LP button it will clear the row and give you a random collectible on that row so you aren’t guaranteed a new item (you will get back any other collectibles you already had in that row) Need to earn some LPs to use the lucky spin?

The completed horse vaulting collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection’ at the top of the hobby collection screen, this clears the board so you can complete the collection again to earn more rewards (you will only get the option to restart the hobby collection when you have completed the collection):

You will earn XPs when you complete a row in the hobby but to complete the collection you need to find all 12 of the collectibles

The rewards for completing this collection are 3 star horses and 3LP:

The first time you complete the collection you will unlock 3 star horses, these are needed to be able to complete the showjumping hobby (check out my guide to horses for more information)
