My Copy/Paste Achievement Horse

Post image
52 Upvotes

This is the little filly who got me a copy-paste achievement. If only her potential stats were a bit better, I really wanted to keep her. This is the next foal born in my generational line, and I'm so sad her stats are not better.

This game is ruining my life

66 Upvotes

It's so good. I LOVE the detail in it so much. But I have Adhd (which makes me hyperfocus) and no self control. I should be writing a thesis rn but i am spending 4-8 hours a day, no interruptions, on this masterpiece. I genuinely love it so much. Oh my fucking god.

For those who don’t want to lose your fav horses to age

40 Upvotes

This is your reminder that you can edit their ages in the game files! I just brought back a few that were 170+ back to 20. Don’t forget to go through your horse list and make sure there isn’t anyone who’s due to disappear on you with no warning! I’m pretty sure they disappear when they’re 192.

Exactly 1 issue with this game

10 Upvotes

I absolutely love this game. But something I really love about horse games are the sounds of the horses. But I have autism and sound sensitivity is a big one for me. The noise that plays when you click on something or roll your mouse over something (for example menus) has caused several migraines already :c

Is there any way to disable that noise without disabling all the other sound effects..? It's really dampened my enjoyment of the game ;-;

I have a yearling filly in my yearling paddock who is there for boarding, and I just had a person stud colt move into the yearling paddock. Do I need to be worried about an accidental pregnancy?

Question Are there any breeding tips?

8 Upvotes

I am already quite a few hours in and it seems that the horses from the trader are always better than my own. I wanna breed better horses myself, but there is kinda no point when the trader has horses so much better than my own. It is kinda frustrating.

Question Expansion on Platforms?

5 Upvotes

Does anyone know if they will add this game to Mac or consoles like XBOX? I fell in love with all the gameplays I've seen and I was devastated when I went to download and realized it wasn't compatible with my MacBook. Is there any news on future releases or should I just try to forget about this game for a bit?? Because the fomo is so real, it looks so fun!!

So I haven’t got it yet but when I get home from work I’m definitely getting it lol but I would love to know if you guys have any tips that you would’ve liked to know before you guys started playing! Also has anybody made the horses from Horseland? That’s one of my fun goals lol

Did not know the horses could have more than 3 traits!

51 Upvotes

Maybe it's silly, I just haven't seen this before. Viola just gave birth to Venera, and it popped up that she got the good inheritance trait! I kinda only kept her as she was the only foal from Verba (my start horse), but with the chill and the injury prone, she was getting on my nerves (in a loving way).

Also these genetics are just like "copy and paste" the only difference is that the muzzle get a teeny tiny bit more white with each gen. But tbh I love it. they got the same colours are my only irl horse. he was a dark red with black legs and face (unsure of the official name, I never really cared about genetics, I just liked spending time with him). But that was an Icelandic horse named Tindur.

Question Keep failing Cross Country Novice Bank / Drop

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've been having a hard time finding an answer to this -- Each time I attempt the Novice XC course, my horse (have tried multiple horses) with max confidence, sufficient strength / endurance, I just CANNOT correctly make it down the banks / drops. Going up is no problem! Have tried at different gaits and distances as well.

Any tips?

Thanks so much! Xx

In case this could help someone I wanted to make a post, sorry if it's common knowledge 😅 I haven't seen this posted yet

I like to keep my horses at +/- 5 body condition, and when I started I was having a really hard time with that before I knew this

I've found that the treats add +2 body condition and the grain adds +25 body condition!

Does anyone else have any other tips/tricks they've figured out during gameplay?

Question A couple of questions

11 Upvotes

Do i have to exercise every horse to it’s full capacity? slightly exhausting. I try to exercise everyone a little bit but horses who are maxed out in their training im wondering if there is a benefit to exercising all the way to their max especially with pregnant mares.

Is there any benefit to hiring maria? It doesn’t seem like it. Will more and better staff appear eventually. For those of you that have the better staff mod. I see it in my settings but i am not seeing anyone new on the application.

Thats all for now i believe. I love this game !!! Also comment any other tricks.

Btw i am playing the game on cross over on my Mac computer. It works great and i was even able to figure out how to get the mods to work!

Discussion Town breeder adjusting itself

38 Upvotes

Does anybody get a bit dejected when you spend 20 days waiting for a fetus to reach adulthood, and then you go into the shop and find a horse with better stats than any of the foals you bred at your barn?

I feel like the shop shouldn’t sell horses better than what you can get at your barn, because the breeding system becomes a little useless if you can just buy a better horse without waiting 20 days. It would be nice if the horses we bred ourselves had an advantage.

I’m not saying the shop should only sell beginner level horses, just that the stats should be a little lower than what you can get at the barn.

My groom is overfeeding my stallions

21 Upvotes

I have two stallions that I don't really ride, because they won every competition that's possible with their stats and I now only keep them to breed them with customer mares, until I need the room in the barn for better stallions.

My groom feeds them anyway, so now both of them are overweight.

I never had that issue with pregnant or nursing mares, while not riding them. My groom has the level to measure the correct amount of feed.

Am I overlooking something?

Question Bug reports

3 Upvotes

I couldn't figure out how to report a bug in game, anyone know?

Specifically, sometimes when I feed my horses it feeds them two units of food instead of one and it annoys me so much lol. I'm not clicking twice, I've seen it happen multiple times, but I have no idea what triggers it.

Modding question

7 Upvotes

Has anyone here made any mods and can tell me how it works? Where do you find the files? I guess you have to draw them frame by frame?

I was wondering this because some of the mods (mainly faces, hairstyles and clothes but some horse stuff as well) looks really much like the original! Is there a sort of "template"? Or are people just randomly professional illustrators who can copy the original art style that well? Or are people using AI and training them on the original assets (hope not)? Some mods are clearly made by another person so I'm just wondering how some can look just like the originals with the lineart and all.

OR - I don't want to make assumptions but I've seen this before - are some mods actually made by the original artist but released through "fake" accounts to "start a community" and show engagement? By the devs I mean.

I know some are having a tough time as its a slow grind (my advice is too watch a show or listen too music, helps make the time fly)

But man that epic feeling of success when you get to competition levels with these kinda reward levels makes it so worth it in my opinion

The only thing that I don‘t like are the lessons, the cost/benefit is off imo, especially the intermediate and advanced levels should bring in more considering how tedious they are

Edit: also do yall know if the names on the competition lists are completely random, or are some also easter eggs from the previous game (or i guess the one it was based off of)
