Behind the Sims Episode 2 Recap!
The Horse Ranch Expansion Pack : The Sims 4 Horses
Simmers, giddy up for the most requested and most awaited animal friend we’ve been waiting for years! The Behind the Sims stream played some behind-the-scenes footage of horses!
The Look
As you can see, The Sims Team focused to bring the same stylized look for Horses that they did for The Sims like shading, solid form hair and the expressive features to fit with the game.
30 breeds to choose from and 11 traits for Horses in CAS!
The Animations
Katie, the Animator, said that the Horse locomotion was a challenged for them. Since horses are known for its graceful movements, they added banking animations that allows them to do things while maintaining their graceful movements.
The developers also considered on how Sims would animate both while riding and when not riding a horse. Inexperienced riders would appear awkward and uncomfortable, and the horse would respond to their lack of skill by testing them. Developers also considered how will the horse react to the Sims and vice versa. We’ll see more of that when the pack comes out!
The Inspiration
The Sims Team made trips to a local equestrian center for the team to experience firsthand the horses. They even bonded with them to feel and understand horses. So cute, right!?
As per JoAnne, Production Director of The Sims 4, said that there’s more gameplay coming this July 6th! So let’s stay tuned in!
