Unicorn

Unicorn is a new creature that was added to the The Sims 3: Pets expansion pack. It was announced for the first time on The Sims 3: Pets - Gamescom Trailer (Germany).

Unicorn is a mystical, magical creature that can be added into any family. A Unicorn has a 40% chance of appearing every night. If the Sim has the Animal Lover Trait they can see a big glowing cloud on the Neighborhood Map. You must befriend at least 5 animals as well as befriending the Unicorn itself before asking it to Join your Household. If you haven't befriended 5 animals then it will reject your offer. Unicorns can not be sold for adoption and cannot be given as Mare ( female ) or Stud ( male ) but have longer lives than their cousin species - Horses. They can mate and have foals with other unicorns, and even with horses. Unicorn Foals are also possible. Also it is possible that you can ride a unicorn, after befriending it. There will only be one wild unicorn in a world at a time. Once a sim adopts a unicorn, another wild unicorn will replace it. wild unicorns can be all black or white with a combination of colors on the feet, mane and tail. They can also be Grey.

Magical Abilities

 * Unicorns have a magical energy, needed to use abilities. Each ability has a cost in energy, and if you don’t let enough time to your unicorn to recharge, he can get a negative moodlet for losing energy.


 * The maximum amount of magical energy is 60 magical points, and it takes 6 Sim-hours to fully recharge them. When the unicorn’s magical energy decreases to 30 magical points, he will get a neutral moodlet for Power Shortage. Also the Horn and the Eyes of the Unicorn glow when using abilities.
