Horseshoes

Horseshoes is an outdoor game featured in The Sims 3: Seasons and The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat, which is usually played between 2-4 Sims within a court. The game is played by the competing Sims in alternating turns, in which they try to toss horseshoes at a stake located in the court.

The Sims 3: Seasons
In The Sims 3: Seasons, horseshoe court can be played by up to four Sims, with two teams consisting of two Sims. Playing will also build the hidden horseshoes skill. The higher the skill, the more likely they will make a good toss. A horseshoe court can be found in the summer festival, in which the winners of the game will earn 25 festival tickets, while the losers will earn 5.

The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat
In The Sims 4: Outdoor Retreat, horseshoe pits can be bought in build mode under activities and skills. Sims can, once again, play a game of horseshoe with 2-4 other Sims who are within the lot. When a game of horseshoes is on, other Sims can either watch the current game and even join in the middle of the game as well, as long as the max limit of playing Sims hasn't been reached. They can also leave the game while it is going on. Sims can practice throwing horseshoes on their own, and other Sims can join in too, which will start a game. Once a game of horseshoes has started, the competing Sims will take turns with each turn having two chances at throwing. Playing Sims will seemingly play the game until the player manually stops them or their motives get too low.

After a game of horseshoes is over, competing Sims may get either an embarrassed, focused, sad, angry or confident moodlet depending on how the game went and whether they won or lost. Snob Sims may become bored from playing horseshoes.

Horseshoe pits can be found throughout the rental lots of Granite Falls, which may serve as a good way to entertain Sims, as many of the rental lots do not have electronics to keep the Sims occupied.
