GUIDE: Horses, Riding and Competitions

	HORSES, RIDING AND COMPETITIONS

GENERAL TIPS/OBSERVATIONS
-Adopted unicorns start with Lv10 Racing and Jumping, bred unicorns tend to require some training.
-The only difference between a Lv10 Racing&Jumping horse and a unicorn is the unicorn lives 3 times as long.
-Unicorns cannot be bred at the Equestrian Center. You must have another horse to breed with.
-Unicorns cannot be sold. You can however release them into the wild.
-I've never seen a family move in with a horse(only cats and dogs).
-If a horse stall is added to home lots non player sims may adopt a horse. (They do with Nraas Story Progression)
-Apparently horse ranches are for your use only.. I've had a few sims hang out in front but NO horses.
-Mixed breeding: I'd recommend a unicorn mare paired with a normal stallion. This way when your family is full you can still get money breeding the stallion.
-Agile and Fast only affect skill learning, not competitions. This is probably an oversight.
-Use happiness points on horses you aren't keeping to get the LTR Salt Lick and Stall.
-Wild horses adopted early in your game probably won't have racing maxed. (Late into your game they might.)
-The wish to master Racing/Jumping SHOULD pop when they hit level 9. If it doesn't you can try switching active family and coming back(this WILL DELETE any currently promised wishes but will usually cause a bunch to pop in when you come back).

POSSIBLE BUGS/ISSUES
-Horse cannot learn Friendly trait/loses Friendly trait when doing friendly interactions
-Moving(Save to bin & place on lot) causes loss of Rider of Legends

TRAITS
The only sim trait which helps with skill is Equestrian.
All Sim animal traits conflict with each other. Only one may be chosen between Animal Lover, Cat Person, Dog Person and Equestrian.
Horses also interact better when sims have matching/equivalent traits. Direct matches are Genius and Brave. Equivalent matches are Clueless-> Absent Minded, Nervous-> Neurotic, Obedient-> Friendly/Good and Ornery-> Mean spirited/Evil.

SIM TRAITS
TRAIT	DESCRIPTION
Animal Lover	Gain relationship with any animal faster.
Equestrian	Learn Riding skill faster. Horse learns faster. Gain relationship with all horses faster. Horse Playtime(+10) moodlet for socializinging with horses.

If at all possible try to adopt/buy^[1] a horse with the Genius trait. If it's a unicorn you adopted your only option for getting Genius is the Attitude Adjustment LTR, however an adopted unicorn may be short on happiness points as it doesn't have a chance at the "Master Skill" wishes.
The other three desirable traits are Fast, Agile, and Obedient and all can be trained.

HORSE TRAITS
TRAIT	CAN TRAIN	OPPOSITE	DESCRIPTION
Aggressive	Yes	Friendly	More likely to fight, catch burglars or chase mailman.
Agile	Yes	Hates Jumping	Horse. Learn Jumping faster and more likely to interact with jumps autonomously. Require more exercise.
Brave	No^[2]	Nervous	Less likely to panic.
Clueless	No	Genius	Learn skills and traits slower.
Fast	Yes	Lazy	Learn racing faster. Require more exercise.
Friendly	Yes^[3]	Aggressive	Relationships increase faster. Socialize/Nuzzle.
Genius	No	Clueless	Learn skills faster. Increased change from praising/scolding.
Hates Jumping	Yes	Agile	Learn jumping slower and more likely to refuse jumps. Autonomously knocks down obstacles.
Lazy	No	Fast	Learn racing slower. Gets fatigued and tired faster.
Neat	Yes	Piggy	Likes being clean. Praise for grooming.
Nervous	Yes	Brave	More likely to panic.
Noisy	Yes	Quiet	Likes making noise.
Obedient	Yes	Ornery	Less likely to throw rider, kick or reject socials. Praise for accepting socials.
Ornery	Yes	Obedient	More likely to throw rider, kick or reject socials.
Piggy	Yes	Neat	Likes overeating and being dirty.
Playful	Yes	None	Likes to play. Fun^[4] changes faster.
Quiet	No^[5]	Noisy	Doesn't like making noise.
Shy	No	None	Prefers socializing with highest relationship. Learns faster with favorite sim.
Untrained	No	None	Requires higher relationship to saddle/ride.

All negative(red) traits lower your horse's value while positive(green) traits increase it.
Opposite traits usually cancel each other out. Brave/Nervous and Clueless/Genius are not coded as opposites so can coexist.
Performing jumps adds 10 points to Agile(takes 15 from Hates Jumping). I THINK you need 50 points to learn traits and negative traits start you at -50.
Fast: Queuing multiple Train for Racing commands and cancel each one as soon as the horse runs through the posts once(I only used one set). It should take about 5 interactions.
Agile: This triggers easiest on the cavaletti jump trainers(all jumps seem to give the same reinforcement but trainers only require one command and your horse will jump till it's tired).
Obedient: Less important than the other two. Praise for accepting socials/being handled. I think you can only train this by reinforement.
BREEDING: My foals tend to recieve traits from the parents. Having less traits on the parents SHOULD enable you to steer traits for foals towards the ones you want most.
Foals can only learn traits. Once they age up they usually have inherited some of the parents' skills.

1: Horses bought at the Equestrian Center come with 2-4 traits and have an increased chance for Genius, Fast and Agile.
2: Brave behavior cannot be reinforced but Nervous behavior(panic) can be scolded.
3: Friendly is broken for horses in general(or just in my game) based on my experience- I spent a sim week chasing various sims with my horse rotating nuzzle and socialize without learning it, then with another horse that HAD the friendly trait I told it to nuzzle another horse for a wish and it LOST the friendly trait!
4: Horses do not have a visible Fun bar, but they still get the related moodlets so I assume it's hidden rather than non-existant.
5: Quiet behavior cannot be reinforced but Noisy behavior(nicker) can be scolded.

SKILLS
Skills are labeled with the earliest age state they can be learned.

RIDING
There is a Riding class offered at the Equestrian Center for $500 which takes 120 minutes(2h) to complete and will raise your skill level by 1.
Sims can also read skill books all the way to level 10(Level 2 is sufficient to train with your horse). The first book costs $50 and should take 430 minutes(7h 10m) to hit level 2 for a non-Bookworm.
Riders gain skill from Riding, Training for Racing and Jumping obstacles on horseback. The cavaletti does nothing for riders.

JUMPING
The Cavaletti trainer is necessary for the first level after which you can switch to obstacles. Of course it is best to gain a few extra levels before using obstacles since your success rate will be low at first. You'll also want Endurance Equine to jump obstacles as your horse won't get fatigued.
At 5Jumping+2Riding or 4Jumping+6Riding you are guarunteed success on the Gate. The Wall needs 6J+6R, the Oxer 8J+6R, and the Triple Bar 9J+6R. When you never fail you don't have to dismount to fix your obstacle.
Even at level 10 a horse only has at most a 95% chance of jumping an obstacle by itself. A rider can boost the chance to 100% for most jumps(80% on Fire Wall and 60% on Fire Ring).

Tireless Leaper	Attempt 150 jumps on obstacles	No fatigue from jump training
Frequent Flyer	Make 250 flawless jumps over obstacles	Will never refuse jump (still may fail)

The first row for each jump is the flawless jump chance while the second is the generic jump chance- by adding these two numbers together you can determine your horse's overall chance of success using a given jump. The third row is the additional chance for a rider of given skill and is only added to overall chance when the horse is being ridden. As the Cavaletti only has "perfect" jumps(not counted for either jump challenge) and riders neither gain nor contribute for jumps, it only has the flawless row.
The skill column shows skill points gained by the horse(1st and 2nd rows) and rider(3rd row) for each jump.

MOOD
Mood is a small component of success in competitions so I compiled this list of moodlets for riders and horses.
My horse seemed to train slightly longer when he had positive moodlets as well. This is not a major difference.
Some moodlets requiring actions may be immediately interrupted and still give you the boost.
Starred items can also be added via Nraas Master Controller(cheating).
Also included is a short spa guide listing the specific options, costs and times for each moodlet below.

Sim moodlets that last for at least 5 hours, are guarunteed to succeed and relatively easy.

*Werewolf!	30	PERM	Werewolf Form
*Winner!	25	8h	Win fight(or game)

There are numerous additional moodlets, but these are the easiest/longest lasting.
Perm moodlets(Eternal Joy/Stylin') are removed if you move. The only method I know of restoring them is by using Nraas Master Controller.
Night starts at 6pm and lasts until 5am. This means even starting a race at 5 you will get the bonus as races last more than an hour(80m).
A Perfect nectar made with at least 1 Life Fruit and 3 Flame Fruit will give you Full of Life, "Good" Nectar, Warm Fuzzies and Sugar Rush for a total of +105 Mood.

NOTE: Times are from charge for service to when moodlet occurs as you walk out the door. Traveling time not included as it will vary by the details of each players game. If selecting multiple services your sim will exit and reenter the spa between each service.

Horse moodlets that last for at least one race.

New Foal may not trigger for a horse that isn't it's parent.

1: More than one person can wish for happiness(Eternal Joy) using the same genie
2: Faithfulness moodlets are permanent until one of the sims cheats or dies. These reputations require the sim to only have one relationship ever.
3: Place a set of two(Shower Fresh/Potpourri) under your front gate/door. Masterful quality recommended(or anti-nausea LTR). Fascinated(Science) only lasts 2h so you may wish to skip this scent.
4: This will be labeled as Astonishing Aroma, Breathtaking Balance, Commanding Complexity or Fabulous Finish
5: Snobs get an additional 5 points.
6: Transformed Werewolves get an additional 15 points
7: Entends to 2d with: Dirt Defiant LTR(Squeaky Clean); Clean Polymer Injection System upgrade(Very Fresh Clothing)
8: You'll want "Beautifully Decorated" for your party area. Play music(Improve speakers) and serve named party drinks. I also use all 3 incense holders(China/Egypt/France) and throw Masterful Floor Hygienators(CASable so they are less of an eyesore) under every door and chair(3 per location, each set to a different fragrance). I've had a Raging bachelor party and Killer fundraiser-fundraiser might need more decorating.

COMPETITIONS
All competitions grant 900 skill points to applicable skills(riding, racing, jumping) upon completion.
During competitions Bladder, Hunger, Fun and Social are frozen for riders while Bladder, Hunger, HorseThirst, HorseExercise and Social are frozen for horses. Any other motive should decrease during competitions.
The only competition level that seems to be an issue is International, in my case specifically the Cross Country (horrendous) and Jumping (slightly less horrendous). For some reason the racing one seems much easier by comparison.
Based on [http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/forum/index.php?topic=12143.0]: Despite the fact 80/5=16(CompLength/LegTime from XML) there are only 15 legs in a race. Additionally traits(Agile/Fast) do not contribute the way they are supposed to. In general, for an international race you want maxed skills, a combined mood of at least 70 and you want to use "Take Risks" tone for the duration of the race. Not sure how they pulled actual code(wish I could do that)- I'm stuck with the simpler "pull data from packages" method.

Go For Broke		35%		16		16		52.5%		10
X Chance is the success rate of the tone with the above tone multiplier figured in. X Level is the Riding level needed for X Chance.
Basically the default for Go For Broke is a 35% chance of getting +16 vs a 65% chance of -16. This is calculated separately for each of the 15 legs.

Standard mod warning: While most things are reversible backing up files never hurts. There are some mods out there which you cannot undo once added to game. Always read the details of a mod. All my mods come from Nraas or ModTheSims or were done myself.
There are mods available which edit EquestrianCenter(Wolfgurl685's scores and rewards) and EquestrianCenter_0xf799f725a550f1eb/ShowVenue_0xc08b72ec427dfeff(KVRadiation's extended hours). KVRadiation also has a mod which edits the horse trophies so they fit on displays(also shelves and fireplaces).
I've tried them myself and they seem perfectly compatible with my game(I have everything, fully patched, G4TW's ultimate fix). Currently all my mods are my own from editting extra Gameplay files with the exception of a few objects mods(I only edit ITUN and XML so far).
I've made races shorter(5 per night rather than 2), incremented riding skill for jumps with identical values and fixed class duration(base skills only take 60 minutes). My horses can dig but it never produces vegetables and my sims do not autonomously let a horse(which is perfectly capable of letting itself out) out of stall. I have KVradiation's trophy fix combined with Menaceman44's generations shelf fix(I can put trophies on shelves AND rotate them). I changed Aging so sims/pets live proper number of years(more or less) and removed CAS age stagger. If requested I'll try to figure out how to put them online.
If I could figure out how to get to certificate images I'd fix the EP5/7/9/11 certificates and try adding ones for ITF(Bot/AdvTech) and pets. Not even sure which file references the image as Skills only dictates whether a skill grants a certificate and has no field to dictate appearance.

THANKS

Everyone on the Games4theWorld forum for making me feel comfortable enough to post my work.

CLOSING
If anyone has data which differs from mine let me know. All data here was generated with all expansions and store content, full patch to 1.67, and the ultimate fix applied.
Some data was pulled from packages while other information provided was based on gameplay.
I'm also interested in missing data... like HOW do you get the full 50 pt Charitable buff @.@ the max my sim was allowed to donate was $1000(30pt) and his funds were far from limited.
This guide is one of several, but the only one finished enough to post. It took several days of typing from memory and digging through packages followed by two days of hand typing html.
