==OverviewAppearance==
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.

They usually spawn at [[fishing spot]]s and on the map, where the players can see a big shining cloud above the lot. Under the cloud is the wild unicorn, with sparkles coming down from the cloud and onto the unicorn. At 5:00 AM the unicorn will disappear in a burst of sparkles, as seen below.
 
==Behavior==
Sims can try to tame a wild unicorn so it can join their household. However, 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 abide by the unicorn's wishes it will decline the Sim's request. Unicorns like gardening and they often bless plants if they are near them; they almost '''never''' curse plants. Once a wild unicorn has been invited into the family, the floating cloud above it disappears. Once a wild unicorn is invited into a household and it accepts, another unicorn will be generated and will become the new wild unicorn, since a neighborhood 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. This will not fulfill the Lifetime Wish "The Fairy-Tale Finder" however.

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.
==Appearance==
 
Unicorns may be similar in appearance to a normal horse, however there are some traits in their appearance that make them different. A unicorn has a horn on its head which is the main trait of their appearance. Unicorns may have four coat shades: Black, Pink, White and Grey. A unicorn will also have a different tail and males will have a goatee growing from the their bottom lip.
*Unicorns and horses can both learn [[racing]] and [[jumping]] skills, but unicorns start out with these skills maximized. Unlike horses, Unicornsunicorns can be adopted by children. This is because the [[riding]] skill is not required for a Sim to adopt a Unicornunicorn.
 
*Unicorns and horses have asimilar interactions with Sims. However, unicorns also have special feelingreactions withto [[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 Offspringoffspring==
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 Unicornunicorn 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 theunicorn magicalfoals have a sparkly trail is there when they gallop, they dorun not haveat the same speed of adult unicorns, but run the same as normal horse foals.
