Unicorn

A 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).[1]

Unicorn is a mystical, magical creature that can be added into any family. A Unicorn has a 40% chance of appearing every night.[2] 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. [3]

Overview

Unicorns are the new creatures introduced in The Sims 3: Pets ( Available only to the PC Version of the Game ). Unicorns are very friendly creatures however if you anger them they will curse you, if you feed them treats or produce and be friendly to them they will bless you for that. Horses cannot become Unicorns but they can mate with them.

Wild Unicorns appear normally at night and disappear at day. At 8:00 PM there is a 40% Chance a Wild Unicorn will appear in the Neighborhood. They usually spawn at Fishing Type of Lots and on the map, no matter what traits a Sim has, may see a big shining cloud above a 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.

You can invite the Wild Unicorn to join your household however you will need to befriend it first as well as have 3 animals you own as best friends. If you don't he or she will decline your request. Unicorns really like gardening, they often bless plants if they are near them and they almost never curse plants. Once a Wild Unicorn has been invited into the family the floating cloud above it disappears.

He or She also gains the Option to "Return to the Wild" which if used it leaves the family and returns to its natural habitat. Once a Wild Unicorn is invited into a Household and its accepts another Unicorn will be generated and will become the new Wild Unicorn since there can only be One Wild Unicorn Per a Neighborhood.

Unicorns are very mystical creatures, if they stand still, eat hay, gaze on the ground or drink water from a pond a rainbow will shoot from its Horn or a Small Bush will grow around its right front leg and then it will turn to leaves which will be carried away by the wind and disappear. If the Graphic Options are high it can be seen that the fur of the Unicorn glows.

Appearance

Unicorns may look a little like normal Horse however there are some traits in their appearence that makes them different than Horses. A Unicorn has a horn on its head which is the main trait of their appearence. Unicorns may have three colours of their fur: Black, White and Grey. Their tails are mostly a bit short and not long as Horses. The Unicorn's Horn is the same colour as their fur ( White, Black or Grey )

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 100% a Unicorn as well. Unicorn Foals have no access to their Unicorn abilities. However, when they gallop the magical sparkly trail is there, but they don't run fast like an Adult Unicorn, instead they run the same as normal Foals.

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.

Moodlets Related to Unicorns

Image Moodlet Name Mood Effect Time Period From Game Dialog/Description Notes Expansion
Power Shortage No Mood Effect 4 Hours Using up 30 Magical Points (Unicorn's Name) is running low on magic power! Holding back on the spells for a while should help him/her restore a bit. Once you use up 30 magical points you get this moodlet.
File:Ep5 icon nonreflective.png
Power Failure -10 4 Hours Using up all Magical Points (Unicorn's Name) is completely out of magic power! How is a Unicorn supposed to case spells with no power? Guess he's/she's just going to have to wait it out. Once you use up all your magical points you get this moodlet.
File:Ep5 icon nonreflective.png
Unicorn's Ire -40 8 Hours Cursing a Sim Ugh, being cursed is definitely no joke. (Sim's Name) is definitely going to have a hard time accomplishing things in this state. What could she have possibly done to make a Unicorn so mad? When you curse a Sim they get his moodlet.
File:Ep5 icon nonreflective.png
Unicorn's Blessing +40 8 Hours Blessing a Sim Wow! What a great feeling! (Sim's Name) should be able to accomplish a lot more with this blessing. Just look at her! When you bless a sim they get this moodlet.

Moonlit Unicorn No Mood Effect ---- Unicorns For some odd reason, Unicorns are able to pull more light from the moon! In the Night there is a chance Unicorns will gain this moodlet.
