Dreadhorse Caverns encounters in The Sims 4 Horse Ranch

As of writing, there doesn’t seem to be a top level of the Dreahorse Caverns, but rather they are procedurally generated to go on forever. This was found by Simmer OnlyAbiDoang, who tapped into the code and saw the max level was set to one billion.

The Dreadhorse Caverns operate in a similar way to the sewer tunnels in The Sims 4 Werewolves Pack, where you will be prompted with encounters and must choose which action your Sim will respond with.

The interactions differ slightly in The Sims 4 Horse Ranch, however, as they are turn-based, and a combat encounter may last for several turns. When it is your turn, you can choose to attack or defend and heal yourself.

Once you have attacked the creature and taken enough points from its health, you can progress.

It may take your Sim more than one attempt to get to the treasure and you can only usually attempt the caverns once a day as your Sim will leave them feeling dazed.

The best way to get the treasure in one turn is to keep an eye on your Sim's health points and defend when necessary to heal. Defending may randomly result in the creature losing interest and leaving the encounter too.
