Unicorn
The unicorn is the new creature introduced in the PC/Mac version of The Sims 3: Pets. They are not available in the console versions of The Sims 3: Pets. It was announced for the first time on The Sims 3: Pets - Gamescom Germany Trailer.[1]
This is a unicorn---> by the way! And it may be seen in your neighbor hood (33% chance) if it does
GOOD FOR YOU AND YOUR FACE
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.
If the unicorn is ugly you should kill it
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[2]. Unicorn foals have no access to their unicorn abilities. While the magical sparkly trail is there when they gallop, they do not have the speed of adult unicorns, but 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 the player doesn't allow enough time to the Sim's 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. 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.
