It's not that you are too hands on, it's just that Smart Barns can only filter ONE of each option for you. At least thus far that's the case. So you can't have Stakes AND Freak gallopers, for example, just one or the other. If Smart Barns ever allow for that type of sorting, then you'll have a whole wealth of new options. For now, you have to custom-build those types of barns via the Custom Barns.Regina Moore wrote:That explains why the smart barns weren't making sense to me -- I'm too hands-on!

Also is it possible to have the "Booked Stud" and "Bred" columns optional in breeding barns? I have a stud barn that they have always looked funny in (they are just empty columns).

Now: Total Horses = Custom 1 + ... + Custom n + Forgotten Horses
We need something to identify that forgotten horses, an extra column or a default custom barn will help.

DELETE all your custom racing barns and start fresh.
If your total number of horses in your newly created custom barns matches your "racing barn" total then you have no missing horses.

Re: Unlimited, flexible custom barns to organize your horses
While I don't disagree that this would work, in theory, I also don't want to have "delete all your barns" as the solution to an otherwise relatively minor issue.Pete Vella wrote:Easiest way to figure out if you have forgotton horses.Cesar Raez wrote:Before: Total Horses = Main Barn + Alternative BarnLaura Smith wrote: Agreed.

Re: Unlimited, flexible custom barns to organize your horses
I was wondering if I could get some clarification on how the pricing works for the new custom barns. The original message says "Unlimited Custom Barns cost 15,000 Game Points for 20 Weeks" I had originally thought that meant you had to pay 15,000 per barn and you would get that barn for 20 weeks. I'm now wondering if it means what it actually says that you pay 15,000 game points and then you get an unlimited number of barns for 20 weeks. And if it is the latter is it unlimited barns of any type or do you pay per barn type (so for example 15,000 game points gets you unlimited racing barns but if you want trining barns you need to pay again) Deleting all your barns and making new ones sounds horrible if you are paying by barn, but if you are just paying to use however many barns you want it makes more sense. Unlimited barns would also make it less of an issue that horses in custom barns are not automatically removed from the main barn as its not like you need to pay for two barns to get what you previously got with one barn. Also what about smart barns? Another post suggested they didn't cost anything is that true? or are they the same as custom barns in terms of pricing.
So clearly I am just completely confused and if someone less confused than I could clarify that would be great.

15K game points = 20 weeks of unlimited barns (racing, breeding, training)

Re: Unlimited, flexible custom barns to organize your horses
Are there any plans to bundle the Custom Barns with the SIMperior for a small discount? At least for the 20 week and year renewal, for those of us who like to purchase longer membership times.
For instance, a 20 week SIMperior (20,000 GPs) plus the Custom Barns (15,000 GPs) might be bundled for 30,000 GPs (5,000 GP savings).
A 52 week SIMperior (45,000 GPs) plus the Custom Barns (roughly 39,000 GPs for 52 weeks) might be bundled for 75,000 GPs (9,000 GP savings).
Personally, I would LOVE to see a 52 week SIMperior/Custom Barn bundle, if only so that both subscriptions run out at the same time. And so that I only have to go to one place on my home stable page to renew both, without having to search for each.

Re: Unlimited, flexible custom barns to organize your horses
The built-in SmartBarns for Racing, Breeding, Training and All horses now have a "Barn" column which shows which "Managed Barn", if any, the horse is assigned to.
In an attempt to have more consistent terminology, I changed non-SmartBarns to be called "Managed Barns". So, "Custom Barns" include two types: SmartBarns and Managed Barns.
