  • Question
    Why is the action cancelled when I try to breed my cats?
    Community Answer
    Their relationship with each other may not be high enough. Try maxing the relationship bar out or getting as close to it as possible. Also, the pet house may not be accessible. If that happens, try to move it to an open area, such as a backyard. If you don't have a backyard, just make sure the square on the grid in front of the entrance is clear and accessible.

    How do I get a unicorn on The Sims 3?
    September Kordelewski
    Community Answer
    From 8 pm to 5 am, there is a chance a unicorn will be at a local fishing area in the game (33% chance). They can be found by a rainbow cloud floating above their horn in map view. You must befriend the unicorn like you would a horse. The next requirements are tricky: You need to be best friends with the unicorn, and BFFs with three other animals before the "adopt" option will come up. You can also use cheats to add a unicorn.
