Prairie Grass is the primal ingredient to care for a Horse in The Sims 4. The item is used to feed Horses as well as other animals like Mini Goats and Mini Sheep.
There are a handful of ways to obtain Prairie Grass in The Sims 4. Simmers should consider this type of feeding instead of the normal one as it’s a lot cheaper and any excess can be stored for later. Additionally, there’s another use of Prairie Grass than filling the animals’ Hunger needs, and it involves Nectar.
How To Get Prairie Grass In The Sims 4
There are two methods to get Prairie Grass to care for a Horse in The Sims 4; buying from Buy Mode or purchasing some from the Bits & Bales Mercantile.
How To Get Prairie Grass From Buy Mode
It’s pretty simple to get Prairie Grass from Buy Mode, simply open the menu and head to Objects by Room, Outdoors, and then click on the small house that’s called Animals. Search for the patch of Prairie Grass which costs 5 Simoleons. Right next to it is a stack of Prairie Grass Hay that’s worth 4 Simoleons.
As the patch of grass is so cheap, it’s possible to place multiple ones and let the Horse eat directly from it. After a while, the grass will grow and sometimes overgrow, so players need to harvest it. Harvesting the Prairie Grass yields some rare items like Space Rocks, random Nectar bottles, and exotic crops like Dragon Fruit.
Players can also choose the Wild Prairie Grass Lot Challenge from Build Mode as it helps with the growing process.
How To Get Prairie Grass From Bits & Bales Mercantile
The Bits & Bales Mercantile store is found while exploring New Appaloosa in Chestnut Ridge. There are many groceries and items to choose from while browsing the store, and one of them is a stack of Prairie Grass Hay for 4 Simoleons, which is the same as the one in Buy Mode.
