Nevertheless, knowing that the secret cave exists and knowing how to find it are two very different things, since secret areas inThe Simsgames are often surprisingly hard to locate. Read on below for directions to Dreadhorse Caverns in The Sims 4 Horse Ranch, as well as information on what to expect once you get there.

Exploring the cave in The Sims 4 Horse Ranch
Like many other secret areas in The Sims, Dreadhorse Caverns is what’s known as a “rabbit hole” — a large interactable object that you can direct your Sims to enter, but where the camera doesn’t follow them. Click on the cave entrance and select the “Explore Deadhorse Caverns” option to send your Sim inside.

Exploration plays out with a text-based, choose-your-own-adventure style mini game with an added twist: your Sim has both a health metre and an exploration progress metre. Combat encounters with various enemies give you the option to go on the offensive (where you risk losing health) or the defensive (which gives you the chance to regain some health). Offensive attacks can lower an enemy’s health, and defeated enemies will drop loot. Defeating four enemies will take you to the end of the cave, where you need to complete a final puzzle to get the last reward. You can also open treasure chests found along the way, although they have a risk to trigger traps that lower your health.

Don’t worry too much, though: losing all their health or otherwise failing in Dreadhorse Caverns won’t cause a Sim to die. Instead, they’ll just exit the cave with a “Dazed” moodlet that lingers for a few hours.
