Ranch Expanded - Unofficial Buildmode Addon with 64 new items

It's finally done! This is why I tend to break up addons with multiple core styles; things get out of hand if I don't. And oh boy, did it get waaaay out of hand for Horse Ranch. Three core styles that were not fleshed out enough for my liking, and one without any corresponding doors or arches makes Peacy go overboard with filling the gaps. I am really happy with how it all turned out, and i am particularly in love with the open bifold doors I made, but i think I my eyes need a break from them for a while. Luckily you all won't have that problem, so build away!

If you like what I do and this has convinced you to purchase Horse Ranch or another Sims 4 pack, you can use my code PEACEMAKER in the promo code section at checkout and 5% of your purchase goes to directly supporting me, kindly sponsored By EA through their Creator Affiliate Program. 

What you need to know:
  • Like usual, this requires the Horse Ranch to work. Although I did make some unique meshes for this to add to the modern set of items, I have tagged them as requiring the pack so it will be easier to find them. 
  • Textures are linked to the smallest size for the new items, so if you want to pick and choose, don't delete the items with the largest file sizes if you plan to keep the biggest sizes
  • The modern doors and arches are only made up to medium height with corresponding clerestory windows to make up the extra. Why? because full Tall height entryways are awfully out of proportion and they hurt my eyes. I care very much about proportion and a door that's 2.5 times the height of a sim is ridiculous
  • The single versions of the barn door archways are off-centre so depending on how you use them, you may need to use the Moveobjects cheat
The Build item/s feature:
  • REQUIRES HORSE RANCH EP
  • non-default
  • 64 new items
  • all original colour options
  • colour filter compatible
  • Find using the keyword "Horse Ranch" using my tutorial here
  • custom thumbnails
  • The polycount of each item falls within range of Maxis-created content

  4. Another beautiful set... thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent with the community. I've had to substitute other windows or doors because the Horse Ranch set didn't have what I was looking for. Now, I'll be able to match everything. Thank you again.

    1. This is the same for all my addons, so it is nothing new. I won't ever convert these addons to basegame as that would break Maxis' ToS which I have no intention of doing.
