The world that comes with the pack is called Chestnut Ridge. EA worked with an Indigenous sensitivity reader for the pack:
“Indigenous people have always had a deep, spiritual relationship with horses,” says Stacey Parshall Jensen, The Sims’ friend and sensitivity reader who collaborated on The Sims 4 Horse Ranch. "They're a symbol of power. They provide healing and represent freedom and bravery to our Indigenous culture.”
"Together with The Sims team, Stacey worked to co-create food, home items, and clothing that are represented in Horse Ranch, reflecting elements of Native American culture."
-They are also making a donation in honour of the pack to Sacred Healing Circle, “a 100% Indigenous founded and led organization working to support Indigenous communities through preserving traditional methodologies and practices, including the Native American Horse Preservation and Research Program. This program helps to preserve the Native American Horse, as well as protects the traditional and historical knowledge surrounding the horse and Indigenous People in the Americas.”
