==Description==
This community formed when several groups embraced their mutual connection to Horses and the land. The area soon became known as a hub for all things Equestrian: a town steeped in expertise with raising and training Horses, set against a beautiful and expansive landscape. Over time, the area became famous for another endeavor, as the rich soil brought in the new enterprise of Nectar Making. Thanks to the hard work of everyone involved, the region flourished and became the Chestnut Ridge it is today.

==Seasons==
With Seasons installed, Chestnut Ridge features all four seasons. During winter, the world can experience snowstorms. Summer and winter are generally milder compared to other worlds.
== Trivia==
*Chestnut Ridge is based on the arid deserts of Arizona, Nevada, and Utah in the Southwestern United States.
*The world is named after the reddish-brown horse coat color Chestnut.
*Chestnut Ridge is the sixth world to have all lots built entirely by Simmers and the eighth world overall to contain lots built by Simmers; with returning collaborator Simproved (who previously built a lot for Evergreen Harbor in The Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle) and new collaborators ChrissieYT, Doctor Ashley, and Ninnster00.
**Of the latter three, Doctor Ashley is the only Simmer who previously built a lot that shipped with a stuff pack, The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff.
*One of the neighborhoods, New Appaloosa, is likely a reference to Appaloosa Plains from The Sims 3: Pets which also is a country town with equestrian activities
**Appaloosa is also a North American horse breed having dark spots on a light background.
*The world was teased via the postcard roadmap.https://twitter.com/TheSims/status/1671201514445242369
