Another thread for the upcoming Horse Ranch EP

Give me ideas about what food, drink, harvestable , mini craftables to make for  wild west themed gameplay!

I only know what I have seen in a few old wild west hollywood movies  and Westworld 😅

Also stuff for a desert theme ? I know I will do prickly pear cactus harvestables but what else comes to mind when you think of the new EP themes!

Edit : Thank you so much guys! I have a fair idea about the region and what the sims team is basing everything on!

I definitely want to do tex Mex and Native American food ( which I will research more)!

Also can I just say I enjoy getting your ideas so much!! Makes me so inspired to make more stuff 🥰

Well from what I saw in the stills it looks like it's going to be more southwestern than wild west. At least I really hope so. Mexicans and Native Americans are always ignored in media but I saw some stuff that looked promising! I would definitely say street tacos & Navajo tacos- 2 very different types of "tacos" that are eaten in the southwest A LOT. Look up some authentic southwest food or tex-mex stuff. There's lots of different types of sopa arroz or sopa fideo that's pretty standard. Taco salads and tostadas, omg home made tortillas would be SO COOL, ooh and FRY BREAD! There's a few ways to eat it so there's variety. A very special type of bread that Natives make that's so delicious.

Maybe a horse/sombreo type of candle and a natco 'hat' that can be used for parties.

Tiffany Edmonds

Maybe venison? I'm totally guessing.

Oh please those sound so good!!! And I love Tex Mex ( atleast the version we het here in my country)! And I need to look up native American traditions around food. Thank you!

You know I can do a mini crafting mod for different designs of sombero hats as deco +/- wearable

Kat

Maybe like a Jerky making thing if that’s possible?

That would be good x I love your mods. I can no longer play without them

I second the comment above. Since EA seems to be making yet another American based world, I would love to see more representation for the indigenous peoples of the southwestern America

Anonymous

I would love love to see smoked/ dried meat like different styles of jerky, dried fish, etc!

As a southerner: chicken n dumplings, fried green tomatoes, a veggie plate (mashed potatoes, beans, Mac n cheese, fried okra, sliced tomatoes) pot roast (maybe a crockpot slow cooker appliance) bbq plate For drinks: moonshine

India

Desert native here! Salt intake is vitally important in a desert, so being able to mill flavored salt or different kinds of salt like kala namak would be cool even though that maybe isn’t technically native to North America. As for stuff native to NA deserts, eating buffalo is common here even nowadays. Venison is also hunted a lot, people make sausage, eat it as a steak or make jerky. Elk and rabbits are also eaten. There are a ton of native corn varieties here that are very beautiful in color and important to the First Nations populations here. Try image searching "jeweled corn". There are also native wild cherries and plum trees, and raspberries, blueberries, gooseberry and currants bushes here. Wild berry pie would be a fun add. There are also native squashes here like acorn and butternut squash that are very tasty and would be a good harvestable, plus a lot of varieties of beans that are native like Colorado Red and many kidney beans. Some important native herbs are sage (there are dozens of varieties and they are spiritually important to many native tribes here, but also use in food), epazote, yarrow and fennel. We also have a lot of HOT peppers, Aji Colorado, Chiltepin and Pueblo Green chilies are quite famous. It was already mentioned, but prickly pears definitely need to make an appearance! As for specific recipes and food, being able to fire roast peppers on a grill would be awesome. Venison stew is a classic, and buffalo meat burgers are also very popular. Some native recipients might be frybread, poyha, tamales, wojapi and succotash. Pemmican is a calorie dense native food made of deer and fat that is taken on long journeys, it would be fun to be able to make and use that while camping. Some less traditional but delicious prickly pear recipes I’ve had here are prickly pear jam, making it into syrup for cocktails, and prickly pear crème brûlée.

being able to craft our own candle holders for the eco living candles

I think it would be super cool if our sims could craft beaded jewelry and/or clothing pieces based on indigenous techniques and styles. They could be crafted using the already available crystals, metals, and seeds sims can find in the world! Could even use the pile of clay to make clay beads and sims with a certain level in the painting skill could paint them. Honestly, I think this new pack is gonna try to have some indigenous representation, but it's gonna either miss the mark completely or it's gonna be a blink and you miss it. Oh! Weaving art would be so cool too. Obviously, dream catcher creation would be dope, but other weaving art like wall tapestries, horse blankets, ponchos, etc would be neat to see as well. Sand art is also very cool and a lesser seen art since it can be incredibly time-consuming. Sand art does make really cool candle holders. Also, on the subject of prickly pears, I have a friend who owns a macaroon stall at the farmers market who makes a prickly pear margarita macaroon. Another good recipe for cacti is cactus soup. That dish uses actual cactus petals(not sure what the correct term for them are) that are stripped of their spines. They taste a bit like green bell pepper. Agave cacti give a great source of sugar, aka agave nectar, and aloe is technically a type of cactus that is also edible for gut health. Hope this helps!

cowboy: Sheep Sorrel pie (leaves that simulate lemon-flavor), Head cheese, Acorn bread, Frizzled beef, Beef and beans, Sourdough biscuits, Corn fritters, Chuckwagon stew, Johnnycakes: desert: Agave or Sweet Date syrup, Mesquite pods as a staple, Saguaro fruit, Lamb Ouzi, Berber Pizza, Tagine - just a few. Blankets and saddles for horses, hats and ponchos, maybe horse-drawn cart or garden attachments (a fertilizer, waterer), a chuckwagon to serve those cowboy meals:)

BRG

Beef hash and eggs! Nothing is more country western then a nice skillet of beef and hash with some eggs. Different types of chilli. When I use to take riding classes our ranch would have these chilli contest.

Anonymous

Some kind of cactus drink.

Anonymous

Fresh game meat (Bison, venison), smoked jerky, chili, beans, bread, biscuits, dried fruit.

How Erica Blooms

biscuits and gravy, flitters, beans and cornbread, meatloaf, wild game dishes for deer/squirrel/rabbit

Shadowkeeper

Apple desserts are stereotypical (Apple dumplings, apple crumble (like streusel), apple butter, apple cake). The mountains in the background of the pack look like, Arizona or Utah, berry desserts would work (raspberry, blackberry, gooseberry, strawberry are native to Utah). As for what ranch hands would have eaten while working: jerky, biscuits, lard sandwiches, beans, coffee, dried fruit, nuts, salt pork, sourdough. All items that traveled well. "Trail mix" also comes from this era.

SparrowWolf93

As someone from Arizona, cactus recipes are a MUST! Nopales, nopalitos, tacos, saguaro fruit, tamales, enchiladas, wolf berries. The desert here is full of sustenance! Country fried anything and white gravy. Prickly pear margaritas. I don't eat meat, but people here eat Javelina, Coyote, Cotton Tail rabbit, Gambles Quail... I think honoring Native traditions and foods would be a spectacular addition, there isn't enough representation of Native American or Native Canadian or Northern Mexican Tribal peoples. There would be so much to add to honor the heritage of the land.

Oh yes! It would be amazing to finally have some First Nation representation!

Anonymous

Personally i'd love to see things for the desert that our Israeli friends can also enjoy, there is hardly anything for them, the game has recently added 2 recipes, but that's it. Jewish people are all around the world, many are playing and probably many are hiding what they are. But to find some representation is always a nice surprise!

Chelsea Williams

I don't know if anyone saw it, but there are goats and sheep too, so I'd definitely love the ability to use their milk in order to craft cheeses. I absolutely have no idea how this process takes place lmao, BUT maybe we could have a functioning object that allows cheese making. There could even be a skill for it, and I somehow imagine the build for it might be similar to the juice fizzing station, or the kids chemistry table? (I'm just throwing out ideas). In addition, maybe we can have a butter churning object too in order to make different butters!

how about bottles of beir made from hops? not like the craft stuff can sell them to the local bars

Agreeing with this so much... I would love so much if this could happen... I wish I could point you to resources

succotash/hash

Deborah Avant

sarsaparilla would be a good rootin' tootin' harvestable. then we could craft rootin' tootin' root beer!

Anonymous

Yes! Rootbeer!!! Maybe some grits or corn based meals!

Boum

We definitely need some Navajo traditional dishes <3

Anonymous

sasafrass root beer, barbecue, jerky, tex-mex food?

Rabellaka

I thought of something else we had from our days living in the prairies, wheat weaving. Artwork made of wheat.

Cotton fields, harvested and processed into yarns for weaving and knitting. Working wells that can be built and then used to draw water for daily living, trees that can be cut down, processed at a mill and then used to construct buildings or furniture. Stews and meals that have wild meat ingredients...rabbit, elk, moose, duck, deer, and fish. These are just a few ideas. I suggest watching The Waltons or Little House on the Prairie for more ideas about early prairie and farm life in America.

From a desert-dweller perspective: foods that reflect the indigenous and non-white cowboy cultures of the Southwest. Quick suggestions would be blue corn, sarsaparilla, chicory coffee, cowboy chili (kind of like that walleye stew from Outdoor Retreat in concept), handmade tortillas, a set honoring the Three Sisters (corn, beans, squash), making dolls from corn husks, cotton production and crafting (weaving and spinning would be COOL), a butcher mechanic for all the lovely livestock that has been introduced, cacti-inspired recipes like prickly pear fruit jam and fried prickly pear pads, hay that can be fed to the livestock, using the herbal remedy mechanic from OR to create homeopathic livestock meds, and moonshine production from assorted produce.

MizzBellaKitty

I would love to see indigenous cuisine as well as more southern and barbeque foods, especially with ingredients from dessert biomes of North America.

as the new world is called Chestnut Ridge, maybe maybe we can do harvestable chestnut? Native american consume the fruit according to wikipedia. I know some recipes with it, like candied chestnuts, or chestnut cream, but it's not really western-themed

amicuspaxim

All I have are fan dances, pony express, and boot hill. Oh wait, Sarsaparillas and other root type beer drinks! Native American fry bread, and the various corn based foods.

amicuspaxim

Succotash and corn fritatas...

Selena Brown

You can have more campfire cuisine

I can totally picture Sims eating right out of tin cans with the lids pried open. Maybe they could 'cook the cans' using similar mechanics to roasting marshmallows/hot dogs.

Texas BBQ for the grills (smoked briskets, smoked queso, sausages, smoked chicken, turkey, Tomahawk Steaks). Tex-Mex food, enchiladas, puffy tacos, fajitas, Birria quesadillas, birria tacos, rice and beans. Breakfast items like potato and egg tacos, eggs rancheros, carne guisada tacos, barbacoa tacos. For a drink, maybe Sweet Tea (the Texas kind that makes you question your sugar levels after the first sip). For some possible ideas :) Thank you!

Abby

can’t wait for prickly pear harvestables!! on drinks, it made me think of the prickly pear margarita at our favorite tex-mex place — so yummy, and it’s the bright prickly pear pink. grew up in the SW and there’s already a ton of great tex-mex recommendations here, but I don’t think we have just plain chips and salsa yet, as like a snack or appetizer?

Abby
>>111481632

or ranch water — sparkling water (topo chico specifically) with lime and salt around the rim, with or without tequila. another fav on a hot day.

amicuspaxim

@Abby, I just saw a prickly pear margarita at a local restaurant that's a part of Hooters! I was shocked and thankful you mentioned it. Didn't get to try it today, but I will at happy hour tomorrow. it looked amazing

PJ Brown

I'm not sure if anyone said this yet, but agave syrup just popped into my head 🥰

Anonymous

Different lemonade flavors, different iced tea flavors, goat milk, geese or ducks and eggs, feathers for blankets/pillows

DeeSims

Maybe some type of bbq foods maybe grilled food specifically

DeeSims

With the goats you could do goat milk and cheese

Anonymous

Sweet Tea, Half lemonade/sweet tea, Sweet tea with lemon and peach tea would be great country drinks. Maybe they can also be served on a tray?

Anonymous

Mango sweet tea too! :)

On canning I would like to see bread and butter pickles and mixed pickled veggies, Pickled eggs, pickled pigs feet and pickled okra. On chips/snacks pork skins.

SkibbityPapp

If you’re looking for Native American recipes, my grandmother (Cherokee) used to make us fry bread and wojapi sauce and it’s the best treat. There’s also three sisters soup, huckleberry bread, blueberry honey cake, and of course dried meats (I.e. venison, Buffalo, etc).

Tammy Furguson

i would like to see special feed for the horses and animals. Special milk protein for the baby animals. like a growth feed or booster to help with their coats and immune system. steaks in all ways. .T-bones, ribeye's are popular in the western life. pork chops on the grill as well. spiked lemonade and teas for bbq parties. Sweet Tea is the champagne in the region. braised briskets are good. parties include Potatoe salads of all kinds, macaroni salads of all kinds, watermelon salad , daquires of all kind..beers even lite beers drinking around bbq grill or pit, and bonfire..also bbq contest are also used .. who makes best bbq food.. hope didnt overwhelme. what ever you do will be excellent as always.. love your stuff.

Country favorites are Chili cook - off! The sim that makes the best chili wins.

I would love to see country plates, cups, tall drinking glasses, serving dishes, gravy boat and butter dish. It reminds me of grandma. She had red roses around the rim. My other grandma had country ducks on her plates. The Ice sweet tea would be in tall glasses.

Oh, I just remembered Ice sweet tea in Mason jars. now that's country right there! LOL

Hello, I love the things you make! Here are the ideas and things I have that might help? They might not but I've also included some sites I've found just in case they might help a bit. Cornbread, a lot of BBQ (it's huge deal and could maybe come with an "Argue about best BBQ option), and fried catfish off the top of my head. Hunting is also a big deal in the region things like deer, duck, bison, rabbit, prairie chicken, elk, moose, and loads more that I don't know about in the area but jerky or neat things with those animals could be fun. If you want to go for a more cowboy/camp out vibe you could do a pot and pan that could be placed on the campfire (or on a grill like the breakfast scramble is) where they make coffee by tossing grounds in, biscuits, beans, stew, or oatmeal. Rocky Mountain Oysters (balls) are also popular. I'm out of things I know about it but I've included some links that I found that have pics and thing in case they were helpful. https://www.tasteatlas.com/100-most-popular-foods-in-western-united-states https://www.aarp.org/travel/vacation-ideas/food-drink/info-2018/iconic-western-food.html No pics on this one but they have a more cowboy type theme and legit recipes that were used if you wanted to go more trail/historical/cowboy: https://www.cookingonthewildwestfrontier.com/early-frontier-recipes.php

Can we get celery as harvestable? My horses love it:)

Anonymous

I'm not sure if sugar cubes will already be in the game to feed horses. If not can you make sugar cubes, and we would be able to feed them to the horses?

Sims Ilikesims

Maybe update your apple tree so the apples can be fed to horses?

Sims Ilikesims

Riding tractor if they do not include it in the pack.

Prickly Pear sounds awesome! They use it in a lot of stuff here, especially lemonades and cocktails so yummy. Tex Mex sounds perfect omg. If you do more cocktails and stuff you can do a Ranch Water or even more of the fun barbecue stuff you make.
