How to get hay in Sims 4 Horse Ranch

One way to acquire hay is by manually harvesting Prairie Grass. This involves locating areas in the game where Prairie Grass grows, which is typically found in Chestnut Ridge neighborhoods. Once you have identified a patch of Prairie Grass, simply interact with it to harvest it. The harvested Prairie Grass will be added to your Sim's inventory.

Not only does this method provide you with hay, but it also has the added benefit of improving the friendship between your Sim and their horses. Feeding horses by hand not only nourishes them but also strengthens the bond between Sim and horse.

If you prefer a more convenient way of obtaining hay or simply don't have the time to manually harvest Prairie Grass, you can purchase hay directly from a feeder on your ranch. Simply click on the feeder and select the "Buy Hay" option. The cost of buying hay is 30 Simoleons. While purchasing hay does require spending Simoleons, it provides a quick and hassle-free solution for ensuring your horses are well-fed.

Aside from being a source of hay, Prairie Grass also presents a new lot challenge for players. As mentioned earlier, Prairie Grass grows naturally in the Chestnut Ridge neighborhoods, offering a beautiful and immersive environment for your ranch. However, it's not just about the aesthetics - hidden collectibles can be found within the grass. Take the opportunity to explore the Prairie Grass and uncover these hidden treasures. Who knows what valuable items or unique surprises await you?
