Hay
A horse eating hay
Hay is an object in The Sims 3, where they are found in the Miscellaneous Decor category.
If The Sims 3: Pets is installed, all types of hay can be used as a type of food consumed by horses. It satisfies their hunger need. In order for hay to be eaten by horses, the player must direct a Sim to "Scatter Hay" via a pie menu when clicking on the hay. It shares the honor of being a base game object upgraded by later updates with the dumpster, which was upgraded by Patch 50.
Hay can be bought in Buy mode through the categories Sort by Room → Outdoors → Lawn Ornaments, Sort by Function → Decor → Miscellaneous Decor, or Sort by Function → Pet Essentials → Horses.
Hay is also available from horse box stalls and hitching posts.

The haystack is also a WooHoo location. A Sim with a lover and a haystack on the lot can be directed to WooHoo with their lover in the haystack. Sims with Hates the Outdoors trait cannot WooHoo in the haystack and will reject if their partner asks to WooHoo in one.
