Ranch Rocailleux

I think it's become a tradition for me, when a new pack is released, to create a little house that's ideal for testing out the new gameplay, but also the new stuff in the buy/build mode. And as a builder, I'm delighted!

Also…. the ceilings! I have so many lots to edit now, including some I shared recently. But it really does make a difference!

I still don't know if I'll build much in this world, I still have a lot to do in the others. Maybe I'll move some of the houses I've created for Henford-on-Bagley, we'll see.

In the meantime, have fun in this house!

Location: Chestnut Ridge (Riders' Glen), Sweet Nectar Glade.

Info: Residential, 30x20, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.

Thank you to the EA Creator Network for providing the kits!

It's time for a quick review of the last two kits!

I don't have much to say about the Poolside Splash kit, I guess it's nice to have more swimwear options, and most of the items look good (except for the sunglasses maybe, but I have an issue with glasses in general in this game, the proportions and placement always feel a bit off). I don't use pools a lot personally, so if it's the same for you, this kit is clearly not essential.

Now, about the Modern Luxe kit. This kit includes some very basic elements that I could see myself using everywhere, like these perfect modular curtains, the small record player, or the cushion that can be used on sofas with moveobjects (I've tested a bit, the sofas remain functional). But because they're part of a kit with a very specific style, they have a very limited selection of swatches. I'm talking about the curtain, for example: if I don't want a gold curtain rod, I only have… 3 swatches available. That's why I'm a little frustrated that they've included them here, and not in a patch, or in a larger pack with a more basic style. Hopefully we'll get more of these at some point, with more color options. Speaking of styling, although it's not really my thing (but that's only a matter of personal taste), everything looks great (but once again, I wish there was more color options, without the gold), but the items from the Vintage Glamour SP and the Get Famous EP have a similar vibe. At last, these new items look much better proportioned, and I can see myself using most of the decorative items.

And that's all for me!

It’s time for a review of the last two kits ! Quick reminder, I still think that considering the price of an EP or a GP, they could include more content, rather than releasing kits on the side.

But I was very pleasantly surprised by the Grunge Revival kit : almost all of the items look good on both frames, the color options are interesting and fun (and some can be used for more basic looks) ... I think I will use these clothes and accessories a lot!

I'm a bit less enthusiastic about the Book Nook kit. It includes some nice items, but I'm a bit disappointed by the limited color options for some of them (the sofa for exemple, only 7 swatches, and I don't like the look of most of them). Also, almost none of the decor items are functional (most of them could have worked the same way as the bookends), and the textures of the frames are blurry (they look okay if scaled down twice). These are only minor issues... but still.

Ultimately, while these kits include some interesting content, they are by no means indispensable. And... that’s all for me!

So. As you can see, I played with the Horse Ranch EP a bit.

My opinion is pretty similar to most people's (and pretty similar to my opinion of most packs over the last few years): yes, it's pretty, but it's a bit empty in terms of gameplay. For me, there are too few new features, too many things takes place in rabbit holes, and apart from animals and nectar making, there are hardly any items with new interactions. In just a few hours of play, I already feel like I've seen everything the pack has to offer.

And yes, obviously, the new objects look good (with great wood textures), Chestnut Ridge is really detailed (but so lifeless, the town centre with all those fake buildings feels like a ghost town), and the interactions with the animals are cute… but is that enough?

I can't say I didn't have fun during the short time I tested the Horse Ranch pack in live mode with Rayane, or when I created the builds I shared with you these last few days. And I know that the people who worked on this pack did their best with the resources they had to deliver a great experience (I'd never question that). But at the end, I clearly can't recommend buying it at full price.

Voilà, that's all for me. I also feels like I need to take a little break now, so I may be a bit quiet for a while (I may share some sims before leaving, but I'm not sure yet!). Anyway, have fun everyone!
