[[File:Unicorn Icon.png|50px|left]] The '''unicorn''' is a mystical creature introduced in ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]''.<ref group=n>Unicorns are only featured in ''The Sims 3: Pets''. They are not available in the [[The Sims 3: Pets (Console)|console versions of ''The Sims 3: Pets'']].</ref> Wild unicorns spawn in the [[world]], and can be befriended and made into a member of a household. Unicorns are magical creatures with many special abilities that distinguish them from normal horses, including the ability to bless or curse Sims, animals, and plants.
==Appearance==
Unicorns generally resemble horses, though with some notable differences. Unicorns are most easily identified by the horns on top of their heads. If a unicorn is standing still, eating hay, grazing, or drinking water, a rainbow may emanate from its horn. A unicorn can have five coat shades: black, pink, white, grey, or blue; a unicorn's coat glows.<ref group=n>Visible if graphic options are set to high.</ref> Unicorn tails differ from regular horse tails. Male unicorns also have a goatee below their bottom lip. Unicorns are followed by a glittering trail whenever they gallop. Wild unicorns are surrounded by glittering light when they appear or disappear.
==Behavior==
Unicorns appear at 8:00 PM (20:00) and disappear at 5:00 the next morning.<ref>[http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=de&tl=en&u=http://www.sims-3.net/die-sims-3-einfach-tierisch-exklusivinterview-zur-pc-und-konsolenversion/085642&usg=ALkJrhgjBJn7kFi5PCR1RxdNa2y1JwlInQ Pets interview with Graham Nardone]</ref> There is a 33% chance that a wild unicorn will appear in the world each evening. They usually spawn at [[fishing spot]]s and on the map. A spawning unicorn can be easily located by the large shining cloud above it.
Unicorns seem to have a close relationship with plants and with nature. Unicorns will often autonomously bless plants, though they may rarely choose to curse a plant instead. When standing still, there is a chance that a small plant will grow in front of a unicorn's right front leg. The plant will turn into leaves that can be carried away by the wind and disappear, with the chance that it will drop a vegetable or fruit on the ground. Despite this, unicorns, like horses, will often choose to eat [[garden]] plants. There are very few ways to prevent this, so ultimately players may decide to keep plants in a location that is out-of-reach.
Unicorns always accept the "Feed Harvestable" social if a Sim offers it a [[life fruit]]. Unicorns do not gain an extra day of life from eating a life fruit. If a plant is blessed by a unicorn, there is a 10% chance it will become a life fruit plant.
Unicorns and horses can both learn [[racing]] and [[jumping]] skills, but unicorns start out with these skills maximized. Unlike horses, unicorns can be adopted by children. This is because the [[riding]] skill is not required for a Sim to adopt a unicorn.
Unicorns and horses have similar interactions with Sims. However, unicorns also have special reactions to [[Good (The Sims 3)|good]] and [[Evil (The Sims 3)|evil]] Sims. Interacting with a good Sim will have a positive influence on their relationship, while interacting with an evil Sim will have a negative influence on their longtime relationship.
Unicorns live three times as long as ordinary horses.
==Taming unicorns==
Sims, [[child]] or older, can try to tame a wild unicorn so it can join their household. The Sim will need to be best friends with it first, and also be 'best friends forever' with 3 household animals. If the Sim doesn't meet these requirements, it will decline the Sim's request. Some Sims may have the "The Fairy-Tale Finder" [[lifetime wish]], which is fulfilled by taming a unicorn.
Once a wild unicorn has been invited into the family, the floating cloud above it disappears. Once a wild unicorn is tamed, another wild unicorn will be generated; a world can only have one wild unicorn at any given time. A household can contain more than one unicorn.
Just like Sims, a unicorn can be added to the active household through [[testingcheatsenabled]]. After entering the cheat, the player can shift-click on the unicorn and select "Add to household", which will immediately add the unicorn to the family. However, this will not fulfill the lifetime wish "The Fairy-Tale Finder".
==Unicorn offspring==
Unicorns can mate with other unicorns and even with horses. If a unicorn mates with a horse, there is a 50% chance the foal will be a unicorn. If both parents are unicorns, the foal will be a unicorn as well.<ref name="abilities">[http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.edenstylemagazine.it/espansioni-animali-co./reportage-di-the-sims-3-animali-co.-capitolo-4-gli-unicorni.html&usg=ALkJrhiPNzb1Pr7qmokh2_1lE2oro4kVdA Unicorn abilities]</ref> Unicorn foals have no access to their unicorn abilities. While unicorn foals have a sparkly trail when they gallop, they run at the same speed as normal horse foals.
==Magical abilities==
[[File:Two Unicorns After Blessing Each Other.jpg|thumb|Two unicorns after blessing each other.]]
Unicorns have '''magical energy''', needed to use abilities. Each ability has a cost in energy. If the player doesn't allow enough time to the Sim's unicorn to recharge, it 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. When the unicorn's magical energy decreases to 30 magical points, it will get a neutral moodlet for '''''Power Shortage'''''. The horn and the eyes of the unicorn glow when using abilities.
;Ability colors list
*Orange (Fiery) - When using Create Fire.
*Blue - When using Extinguish Fire and Bless a Sim.
*Green - When Blessing Flora.
*White - When Blessing Fauna (Pets & Sims).
*Red - When Cursing Fauna or Cursing Flora.
*Pink - When Curing Fauna.
;Unicorn abilities list
[[File:Unicorn 4.png|thumb|Unicorn disappearing as morning arrives.]]
* '''Teleport''' - Teleports the unicorn to its desired location. If a Sim is on the unicorn and it uses the teleport ability, the Sim will teleported with the unicorn as well. '''Takes 5 magical points.'''
* '''Ignite''' - Creates [[fire]] on the desired location. Unicorns cannot set fire to Sims or pets directly, but can set fire on any residential or community lot. '''Takes 15 magic points.'''
* '''Cure Fauna''' - Unicorns can use this function to destroy the moodlet that a Sim or pet receives when they have been cursed. It also cures flea infestations on pets.
* '''Extinguish''' - Extinguish the chosen fire, it doesn't need magical energy.
* '''Bless Fauna''' - In order to bless a Sim or a pet, there must be a relationship with at least 30LTR between the unicorn and the Sim/Pet. Under the right conditions, there is a 50% chance for the unicorn to bless a Sim or a pet after a social interaction. This Sim or pet receives a "unicorn's blessing" moodlet and gets a positive multiplier in learning skills. This blessing will also cure the Mummy's Curse. '''Takes 30 magical points.'''
* '''Curse Fauna''' - There must be a relation with -25LTR between the unicorn and the Sim or pet. Under the right conditions, there is a 75% chance for the unicorn to curse a Sim or pet after a social interaction. This Sim or pet receives a "unicorn's curse" moodlet and gets a negative multiplier in learning skills. '''Takes 30 magical points.'''
* '''Curse Flora''' - Makes the selected plant wither and die. '''Takes 10 magical points.'''
* '''Bless Flora''' - Makes the selected plant grow up one level. After a plant reaching the highest point of its growth, using Bless Flora again will cause it to produce harvestable fruits/vegetables. '''Takes 20 magical points.'''
