Unicorns kind of confirmed

    I would say that just means they will be decorative unfortunately. I'm not surprised.

    I believe they belong to the inheritable unique trait. There is also a shorter foal version.

    I hope this is the case! Perhaps it might be a hidden object that only horses with a "unicorn" hidden trait or something are able to use! Or maybe some horses have lil' magic things they do while others don't? And you could choose whether to put a horn on your magic horse or not? I know the trailer had a horse bringing a sim back to life at the end of it!

    I don't think it was the horse bringing a Sim back to life, it was the nectar. If you watch the trailer, the mustache guy pours a blue nectar into the glass and then the ghost starts to change. I think there may be different types of nectar effects.

    As for the Unicorn horn... I'm glad it's in CAS, so I can use it however I want. But I still hope there's some kind of mystical unicorn in the pack too. Since I didn't play Sims 3, I never got the unicorn experience and would really like to. It would be a huge bummer to not include that.

    I know this is all me coping, hoping against hope. But I will fight to the bitter end. Surely it can't be that hard to make a unicorn. Just give it a special trait that lets it grant some dumb moodlets to people who are nice to it.

    The amount of special effects & animations unique to unicorns dictate whether or not true unicorn occults will be part of this pack. These elements can be costly as it involves special (rainbown??) auras for sims affected by unicorns and of course the unicorns themselves, animations & FX for blessings / curses, possible death by unicorn, and other visual assets that are not moodlets.

    Despite all that, unless EAmaxis can reassure us that unicorn occults will be 100% part of an upcoming Fantasy GP, there is no reason not to include them in this pack. I truly hope these CAS items are more than ordinary horse accessories.

    The following description with regard to breeding horses (offical Sims 4 blog) has me thinking:
    "The very best part - Foals can be born on your ranch! That’s right, players can have their Horses nuzzle under the stars to make the perfect little Foal, a combination of both of its parents...and they may even unlock a unique Trait".

    Nuzzle under the stars? What if this unique trait is the unicorn trait? Instead of having to find a unicorn we're challenged to breed one.


    ETA:

    I believe they belong to the inheritable unique trait. There is also a shorter foal version.

    Sorry, you already mentioned this. 🫣
    Back to bed with me.

    Kind of? Either they have been confirmed or they haven't. Don't want to see "kind of".

    It's either unicorns or 'pretend your horse is a unicorn' situation which is also quite probable.

    Looks more like an actual horn than the unicorn horn that can be put on dogs. That's because there's no headband attached to it, like there is for dogs. Without a headband, how could they even wear it if it's only an accessory?

    To be honest I don't care if the magical horse is unicorn
    I just hope there is magical horse with ethereal glow or appearance of doom
    and it has couple magical powers

    this horn could just be way to make it a unicorn
    if you think horn is neccessary to the magical horse experience

    I don't mind having a decorative horn for horses to look like a unicorn. There is that hidden area they spoke about, so maybe, just maybe, we will find a unicorn living there? One can only hope!

    This made me feel very discouraged, like it's just going to be an accessory. Like I want to believe that they are keeping them back for a big reveal during the livestream but I just don't see it happening.

    Honestly, a unicorn in the world does seem kinda out of place in the heavy western desert world but if we don't get them in this pack, I don't see us getting them at all and that makes me sad. I love all things occult so I would love to have them, but I don't know maybe they will surprise and add them later in a fairies pack? I would be okay with a unicorn being a different type of animal, meaning you could have unicorns without having horses, because they are their own special thing with fairies. But that's probably for another thread lol.

    They showed so many unicorn drafts in the BTS that we can be really sure by now.

    One of the comments in the livestream suggested that there might be a special kind of nectar that turns horses into unicorns. Just speculation of course, but wouldn't that be a cool way to connect the activity of nectar making with the main theme of horses?

    I remain hopeful...

    That reminds me of that Smirnoff Vodka commercial that made you see a black panther instead of a black cat. :lol:

    I agree with those who think it's just decoration. I'm certainly not going to get my hopes up. I'm just looking forward to my horsies! :)

    A small glimmer of hope: in Growing Together, we had animal themed puzzles. Among them were goats, sheep, horses and unicorns.

    I find it quite amusing if the horn is just for pretending your horse is a unicorn. Then you both proudly ride into the new world, singing the "I am Unicorn" song. And suddenly you meet the *real* unicorn. Feeling just as silly as when playing Santa and the real Santa knocks on your door before you get a chance to rip off that beard:)

    Another trailer with no hint. They aren't there.

    I just hope we have a great modder out there ready to fill the gap. =( Unicorns are the one and only occult I love. It's so sad to see them get shafted. Unicorns are so popular nowadays too. What gives, EA?

    Maybe unicorns weren't shown because they're meant to be mysterious creatures? It would be dumb to add a horn that looks legit and has a foal version just for it to only be an accessory anyway.

    But it wouldn't be surprising since they've done things like that before, like with the free fake plantsims when all I wanted was real plantsims. They were my favourite lifestate in previous games, much because they were unique.

    I still think Unicorns will be in Sims 4 & I think they will be like the hidden mysterious Unicorn in Sims 3 Pets. But that’s just a guess.πŸ§πŸ˜‰

    A baby unicorn with pink hair would be so cute. Wonder if we can keep horses from aging so we can keep them as foals.

    I wonder if there will be real unicorns in the fairy pack now that we have horses.

    Then they would most likely only work if you have horse ranch as well. Otherwise you'd only get the fairies.
