Unicorns are exclusive creatures added to the PC/Mac version of the game only. They come with level 10 racing and jumping skills (if adopted, don't breed them till they grow up) and many powers which can be used at Sims will. They can: Teleport, Bless fauna, Curse fauna, bless/curse plants and Sims/pets, ignite and extinguish fire. They have 60 magical points. each power uses up some of those points. They get the 'power shortage' when at half-way and 'power failure' when have no power left. to 'refuel', let the unicorn, well, be a unicorn. Relax.

    Unicorns appear only between 8pm and 5am only - so every night go to map view and 'spy' on both fishing lots or a science center (Cinnamon Falls and the water plant) at the same time from 8pm till 5am.

    The option will be greyed out if you already have the max number of pet (the max number is 6). Click that and he/she should accept saying " You have proved to be a friend to all animals, i will follow wherever you lead."

    You have to wait and be patient. Wild horses should be somewhere near the water.

  • Question
    Does it work if I find a wild horse at another place?
    Community Answer
    Unicorns may be around other wild horse flocks near watery areas or where they're grazing in abandoned lots. So, yes, you can find unicorns at places other than Cinnamon Falls and the Science Facility. Those are just examples.

      Tips

      • Unicorns are the fastest creatures of all which means that they always win race competition (almost always).
        Thanks
      • A bad unicorn is not foretold by coat colour. A bad unicorn (aggressive, etc) is less likely to accept an invite to a household, but most of them are good. About 18 out of 20 tend to be good unicorns.
        Thanks
      • You will always find wild unicorns hanging around wild horses.
        Thanks
