The Sims 4 is finally getting the horse expansion players have been begging for

Listings for a “Sims 4 Horse Ranch” expansion appeared on key reseller sites earlier this month, but it was hard to take the supposed leaks very seriously, especially since they borrowed an image of a guy riding a horse from The Sims 3 Pets. Today, however, EA itself finally confirmed that horses are coming to The Sims this year—albeit without saying so directly.

The official Sims account said on Twitter today that we’ll “take the reins” during the next Sims 4 season, which will include a “rootin’ tootin’ expansion.” The teaser’s imagery doesn’t contain any horses, but does appear to confirm a rumor that the next expansion takes place in a desert-themed world. EA also knows that Sims fans/horse people would riot if it teased “reins” and then didn’t put out a horse expansion, so I think we can call this one without waiting for the full trailer releasing later this week: Horses incoming.
