The Elvenwood: Royal stables

Next to shimmering brooks and enchanted woods, lies the royal stables. Home to the elven queen's most prized unicorns where they receive training & care. Elves and fairies might also catch and tame unicorns here.

If you are playing the Elvenwood update to the save file, no need to do anything - you already have this lot. This post is for inspiration and extra information about the gameplay included in the save. Some players who have been playing since before the Elvenwood update like to update their own save files, the downloads are for them, to enable them to do so.

Gameplay ideas:

• breed unicorns to uncover hidden traits via breeding in Horse Ranch

• Build relationships with unicorns

• Become a rider, enter competitions and train your unicorn (temperament skill)

• Explore all it means to be chosen for the elven queen's stables - dedicate yourself to your craft and meditate by the water

• Discover friendship and love amongst your peers

• To be honest, this was my favourite part of playtesting the save file. It's so cozy and of course I ship multiple sims with each other, but as always leave most of this for you to uncover and explore.

• Befriend the elven princess and welcome her often as a visitor here from Ravenwood Castle.

• Life and Death: one of the fae that works at the stables has the "chased by death" trait. Seize the day!

• Tarot inspired storyline: DivantheSimmer has added to the Elvenwood hashtag on the gallery with "the chariot" storyline. I included this sim in this gameplay and lot, she seemed to fit here at the stables as a trusted & accomplished elven soldier overseeing the stables and training. Thank you for being an amazing partner in getting the save out, Divan and making characters that look (thankfully) different to mine, bringing more diversity to the save.
