How Do I Complete the Championship Rider Aspiration in The Sims 4?
To complete the Championship Rider aspiration in The Sims 4, you need to Reach Level 10 of the Horse Riding Skill, compete in 15 horse competitions, win Gold in five Master Horse competitions, and place in the Ultimate Horse Championship.
To speed up the process, you need to max out your Sim’s horse riding skill and their horse’s Jumping, Agility, and Endurance skills.
Your horse’s abilities and skill levels are super important for your success.
They’re like the secret sauce to make it all happen!
Championship Rider Aspiration Goals
Reach Level 10 Horse Riding Skill
Practice horse riding regularly to gain confidence and improve your skill on horseback.
Compete in 15 Horse Competitions
Participate in 15 horse competitions throughout your Sim’s life. There are five different competitions available, each one evaluating a unique set of skills.
Competitions have four levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert, and Master.
More horses mean faster progress, as each horse can compete once per day.
Win Gold in Five Master Horse Competitions
Work your way up through the competition levels and win Gold in five Master-level competitions.
Ensure your horse has the required skill levels before attempting the Master level. They need Level 9 in the primary skill, and Level 5 in the secondary skill.
Ideally, your Sim should already be a Level 10 rider by the time they enter Master Horse competitions.
Once they have completed all Master competitions, they become eligible to enter the Ultimate Horse Championship.
That means they need to master Barrel Racing, Endurance Racing, Show Jumping, and Western Pleasure first.
Place in the Ultimate Horse Championship
The Ultimate Horse Championship is the most challenging competition.
Your horse must have won the Master level in all previous competitions and have mastered all four skills.
While winning Gold is the goal, placing second or third also counts towards completing this part of the Championship Rider aspiration.
Championship Rider Aspiration Reward
When you finish the Champion Rider aspiration in The Sims 4: Horse Ranch, your Sim scores an awesome reward: the Grand Champ Trainer trait.
This trait brings several perks, like training horses faster than Sims without it, getting more simoleons when selling horses, and even enjoying a positive moodlet while riding.
The best part? Horses have a blast when ridden by this Sim! It’s a win-win for you and your four-legged pals!
Best Traits for Your Rider
One of the most important skills for the Championship Rider aspiration is the Horse Riding Skill.
You’ve gotta reach Level 10 of this skill to complete the aspiration. Focus on maxing out the Horse-Riding skill before entering any major competitions.
Once you reach Level 7 of the Horse Riding skill, you won’t get bucked off or experience Tense moodlets anymore.
Sims with the Horse Lover trait make great candidates since they bond quickly with horses, which is crucial for skill-building.
Getting Confident before horseback riding helps level up faster, and traits like Self-Assured can be a big help during tough rides.
Having the Rancher and Loves Outdoors traits is handy too. You’ll be taking care of and training your horse a lot, spending time outside together.
Choose the Right Horse Traits
Some horse traits can make training a real challenge, while gentler traits are way easier to handle.
Rescued horses tend to have traits like Aggressive, Defiant, and Fearful. These traits make horses more challenging to train.
If you’re aiming to conquer the Championship Rider Aspiration, go for gentler horses to avoid unnecessary hurdles.
How Do Horse Breeds Impact Results at Competitive Levels?
At the competitive level, the breed of your horse doesn’t significantly impact the results.
The key factors in competitions are the rider’s horse-riding skill, the horse’s Agility, Jumping, Endurance, and Temperament skills, and the bond between the two.
Focus on training and preparing your horse for the competitions to achieve the best results!
Make the most of the horse training equipment available at Chestnut Ridge for your training needs.
Some homes in the New Appaloosa and Rider’s Glen neighborhoods already come equipped with training equipment on their property.
If you buy a furnished home there, you might have everything you need for horse training right from the start!
⇒ Quick Tip:
Foals, elder horses, and pregnant mares are not allowed to compete in equestrian competitions.
Get Your Horse’s Needs in the Green Before Competing
Your horse’s mood can significantly affect their performance during training and competitions. If they’re hungry, tired, or scared, their performance will drop.
Make sure to spend time getting your horse in a good mood before showtime.
Entering a competition each day is a great idea. Even if it’s a Beginner-level contest, it still counts toward the total number required for the Championship Rider aspiration.
Don’t give up, and keep trying until you achieve victory!
Persistence is the key to success!
Winning Championship Rider Competitions Is Random
Scoring a win in Championship Rider competitions can be kinda random. Of course, higher skills in each category help your chances, but luck’s still in the mix.
For better odds, it’s a good idea to max out the recommended skills and enter competitions when your Sim is feeling Confident.
Don’t let a few lower placings or losses get you down! Keep pushing, get back on the horse, and go for that win.
Even with qualified horses, snatching gold isn’t a guarantee. Be ready to compete often for your best shot at taking the top spot!
Happy Simming!
