Leak: A New Expansion in Development for The Sims 4?

While the majority of The Sims video game enthusiasts eagerly anticipate Project Rene, it seems that Electronic Arts is not done yet with The Sims 4, the fourth iteration of the iconic series. The mysterious Project Rene, which is actually the codename for the highly anticipated Sims 5, remains in the minds of fans, but it appears that The Sims 4 still has some surprises in store.

The Sims 4 has already received 13 expansions and 12 game packs, leaving few uncharted territories for the game. However, a recent announcement suggests that players can expect a fresh experience in the world of The Sims.

Recently, information has surfaced on reputable online game key-selling websites such as CDKeys and Instant Gaming, hinting that the next expansion for The Sims 4 will focus on the equestrian world. Aptly named "Horse Ranch," this content update promises players the ability to create, care for, and play with their faithful equine companions.

Although these details have not been officially confirmed, it can be assumed that horses in The Sims 4 will be treated similarly to cats and dogs, becoming full-fledged members of the virtual household with their own specific interactions in the game world.

As an expansion, "Horse Ranch" will likely bring a plethora of new features to The Sims 4 universe. In addition to the presence of horses, players can hope to discover a new map, an expanded range of clothing, accessories, and furniture to enrich their virtual homes. However, the announced price for this expansion, €39.99, might deter some players.

This leak has sparked enthusiastic reactions within the gaming community, as it suggests that The Sims 4 still has surprises to offer. The "Horse Ranch" expansion could inject a breath of fresh air into the game, offering new perspectives and interactions for players. However, it remains to be seen how the game will evolve in the future, especially with the ongoing development of Project Rene and The Sims 5, which remain hotly anticipated topics among the fan community.

As a reminder, The Sims 4 is a life simulation game published by Electronic Arts and developed by Maxis. It was released on September 4, 2014, in Europe and has since enjoyed worldwide success. The gameplay of the game is identical to its predecessors, allowing players to create one or more characters called "Sims." They can choose their appearance, home, job, as well as friends and partners.
