|caption = At one point Appaloosa Plains was a sleepy ranching township, its only claim to fame being a garish tourist trap that drew in the occasional passerby. However, a recent influx of city slickers has turned the area into a bustling hub of activity. They keep arriving with their stacks of Simoleons, retrofitting the town with modern amenities while eagerly believing they've acquired their own slice of country paradise. The clash between the old and new is readily apparent, with some elderly die-hards clinging to the remaining vestiges of life as they knew it. Will the town come together in the new era of prosperity, or will the generational clash leave a clear line drawn in the sand?

'''Appaloosa Plains''' is a [[world]] that was introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]''.<ref>[http://www.simprograms.com/32887/8-new-images-of-appaloosa-plains/ SimPrograms - Appaloosa Plains images]</ref> The world was first mentioned as "a quiet country-side town with meadows and woods to explore." Appaloosa Plains in the past was a cowboy ranch town in the Midwest, on the edge of the highway. As time progressed, the town has degenerated into a bit of a neglected ghost town before finally turning into a large township.<ref>[http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=de&tl=en&u=http://www.sims-3.net/die-sims-3-einfach-tierisch-exklusivinterview-zur-pc-und-konsolenversion/085642&usg=ALkJrhgjBJn7kFi5PCR1RxdNa2y1JwlInQ]</ref> The town is named after the Appaloosa breed of [[horse]].

:§15,000
Line 69 ⟶ 73:
:[[Vera Blackburn]], [[Ginger Blackburn]], [[Walter Blackburn]]
:''If you ask Vera Blackburn about dog obedience she'll bluntly tell you, "There's no such thing as a bad dog, merely a bad owner." It's hard to argue with her approach when you find yourself cut off mid-sentence with a snap of her fingers and a fire in her eyes. The years haven't been kind to her complexion - some say the wrinkles were sealed in place from her harsh demeanor and ever present frown. Those who get to know her though will discover the love she has for her canine companions, and may pick up some useful tricks to use on their own pets along the way.''
*'''[[Vallari Chandra|Chandra family]]''' ''72 Rachelle Lane''
:§13,000
:Difficulty: 1
:[[Vallari Chandra]]
:''Vallari is living the good life, unfettered by the rigors of such things as "responsibility", "basic decency", and "fiscal responsibility" - all those topics her mom used to nag her about. Well her mom isn't around now, and she's free to seek thrills and pursue hot fads as she blows through the family fortune. She thinks of her day job at the spa as simply a means to meet a wealthy and handsome client - preferably single.''
*'''[[Country Cowpokes household]]''' ''192 Horseshoe Loop''
Line 82 ⟶ 92:
:''"Dangnabbit, NO this land is not for sale!" - These are the first and last words any politician or businessman will hear when they pay Tate Curley a visit. As a descendant of one of the oldest settlers in town, Tate finds himself sitting on a prime piece of real estate right along Main Street. As outside pressure increased, Tate and Esme became introverted and guarded, building walls to keep unwanted visitors out. If someone could only find a way to break through their gruff exterior, a veritable encyclopedia of the town's history and stories of the old west await.''

:[[Shawnee Fox]], [[Cheyenne Fox]], [[Dakota
:''As great descendants of the indigenous occupants of Appaloosa, the Fox family respects the land - and their privacy. Having reclaimed a large plot of land down in the flood plain, they prosper from the fertile soil that has built up over multiple generations. Now they run the most prosperous ranch in town and take great pride in their hand built home. They're certainly self-sufficient, but it wouldn't hurt them to broaden their social circle either.''
Line 98 ⟶ 108:
:Difficulty: 4
:[[Hetty Lionheart]], [[Maria Lionheart]], [[Mothball Lionheart]], [[Pickles Lionheart]], [[Muffin Lionheart]]
:''The townsfolk give Ms. Lionheart a wide berth should they see her approaching. Not that there's a problem with her that anyone can pinpoint per se, but she is a little... shall we say... eccentric. With her colorful leopard print hat and garish feline apron, the local teens have dubbed her "Old Kitty", a name she'd no doubt give them a good drubbing for should it ever be said to her face. As the last remaining member of her family, she lives out her days with her four cats, and that's just the way she likes things.
*'''[[Loveland family]]''' ''1938 Beach Boulevard''
Line 116 ⟶ 126:
:Difficulty: 3
:[[Cruz Martingale]], [[Sofia Martingale]], [[Marney Martingale]]
:''Sofia felt trapped for years - trapped in a loveless marriage, and trapped in the concrete jungle of the city. She made the decision to take her life back by kicking her husband to the curb, and uprooting her moody teenage son for a fresh start in the country. Flush with cash from the divorce, she purchased a horse to help charm to posh country crowd. Now that she's a cougar on the prowl, will young Cruz be able to adjust to his new family and make friends in a brand new town?
*'''[[Miller family]]''' ''1011 Pomona Promenade''
Line 171 ⟶ 181:
:[[Benni Hennessey]], [[Zac Whipsnake]], [[Hailey Shepherd]], [[Kenji Midden]]
:''This eclectic group has decided to pool money together to rent their own home on the range. They come from all walks of life... Benni is the southern belle with modern flair. Zac is the local bad boy - line cook by day and biker by night. Hailey is the typical girl next door who wants nothing more than a pup to call her own. Kenji is the junior archeologist who can't wait to get a closer look at the dinosaur dig on the edge of town. The one thing they all share is a love of animals, but the landlord has a very firm policy of no fur allowed. Until they can change his mind, it looks like they're stuck with a feathered friend.''

*Appaloosa Plains is one of the locations where postcards can be obtained from in ''[[The Sims 4]]''.
*Sims in inactive households can get stuck just outside the Newton Cemetery in between a hedge and a "no llamas" sign. The Sims will be unable to move, stomping their feet there until the player deletes the corner of the hedge closest to the sign in Edit Town mode or uses the resetsim cheat on the Sims who are stuck.
*In ''[[The Sims 4: Laundry Day Stuff]]'', there is an object called "[[:File:Zydeco_Rub-Board.png|Zydeco Rub-Board]]" mentioning that Sims from Appaloosa Plains to Twinbrook used to practice Zydeco music, but it lost its popularity.
