  • An update has been rolled out that should install automatically
  • If the update doesn’t automatically install, you have to reinstall the DLC

The Sim Community Lead EA_Cade responded on the official forums about the missing text issue in Horse Ranch.

Steam players: You should be prompted to update the game at this time, but if not you can untick the DLC in the DLC manager, then check the box again to re-download.

He directs this part to Steam players, like me, specifically because playing The Sims through Steam isn’t the originally intended platform for the game, and EA has more control over their own game app than they do with Steam.

Hopefully, the update works for you, if not, then reinstalling the DLC might be your only option.
