    I’ve noticed that the pink unicorn wasn’t wearing the CAS uni, so the pink unicorn could be the actual unicorn.🦄

    Unicorn is like Yeti ??? sims pretending to be someone else :#


    Or, like Patchy, who is not an actual magically-animated scarecrow, just a pervy guy who dresses up as a scarecrow, lives in your backyard, and invites people to root around in his pockets.

    LOL ok but I love patchy. ❤️ 🎃 He gets a pass in my book. oof that sounds bad

    I kind of do, too, but every now and then I have to pause and remember what his actual deal is, and it is pretty sketchy. :D

    Maybe the horn accessory is something you need to find from the Dreadhorse Caverns rabbit hole.... it's probably one of those rabbit holes where you have to answer the questions correctly. And the final prize is the unicorn horn accessories (unlocked in CAS)? That would be my uneducated guess.

    Unicorns are definitely NOT confirmed in this pack (no mention of them in the livestream) and it's looking more and more like they will just be set dressing (accessory) for regular horses.

    Probably because unicorns will be coming in the upcoming fairies gamepack.... :*

    If we were going to get unicorns it would be in this pack. Unicorns (at least as we think of them today, historically they were more of a mixture) are a supernatural horse creature. Horses are in this pack and only this pack. Unicorns can not be added in another pack, because that's not how this works. If horses were base game or patched in, then yes, a unicorn could appear in any pack. But seeing as they are paid content locked to this pack, they can only come in this pack.

    Maybe you'll get unicorns in a fairy gp if you also own horse ranch. I would be ok with that but I think it would be better if unicorns came with the actual horses. And it's really strange to add a horn now just for unicorns to be added later, it's better to add full unicorns at once instead.

    They didn't show a horn during the livestream, maybe for some reason. They didn't show us the caves either but they have said it's worthy of visiting and we might get some... rewards there

    Best bet is that there are NO real unicorns at all.

    They would have shown it and made a big deal about it if there were.

    The overall video (it was not a livestream!) was so underwhelming. There was literally nothing really new.
    The world looks nice, because they most of the time do, but when it came to gameplay.. no, this wasn't it.

    And for sure not for it to be an Expansion Pack.

    I think the caves will be a rabbit hole like the cave in Sulani. As someone else mentioned, the "unicorn" horn may be a reward for going through the cave and getting the correct answers to the pop-up questions. I think if there was more to it, they would have shown us, but hopefully I will be wrong.

    At least we know that there is a way to make unicorns and thats enough for me. We will see if they will be separated from normal horses with special forces like Sims 3 horses had. In the Sims 3 you had to catch Unicorn before you could get the stuff for making your own Unicorn. It looks like this time we can make the Unicorn right away in the CAS, whick is good thing. But maybe there is also a place to catch them in the map. Like secret hidden place.

    I like to think this but it’s also an expansion selling feature to some and I don’t think they’d leave that out of marketing especially when the biggest criticism is there wasn’t much in the pack. I cannot remember if they hid things like aliens and sixam from the GTW marketing, I remember they advertised mermaids for island living.

    I don’t expect them and don’t expect much from the caves. But it would be a nice surprise if there was unicorns and a secret world or something.

    The unicorn horn is definitely unlockable and not part of the starting CAS assets. Maybe unicorn is a breedable trait.

    They can't deny nor confirm if there are unicorns in the pack. My guess is they didn't say anything in the livestream because it might cause some controversy, so they didn't and this keeps people speculating instead of being angry or something.

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about saving us a surprise but then I remembered how many times in the past I've given them the benefit of the doubt and been disappointed. So, if they surprise me, great I'll be truly surprised. But I'm not expecting anything more than we've already seen.

    Correct, they didn‘t appear in the trailer (which is btw still breathtaking after 12 years).

    So no "real" unicorns, as in occult horses, but we can still use horn accessories to make regular horses look like unicorns. My feelings about this are so mixed and confused, you can't even imagine...

    When the CAS leaked and I saw a horn among the horse accessories, I was happy and content with the idea of just having fake unicorns. After all, the magic chickens from Cottage Living are just for show in my game, too, I never actually ask them to help out. Then, after the second trailer and a livestream that showed us nothing but horses, I started thinking, well, if that's going to be the only content, they better milk it for all it's worth to justify making it an EP, and that includes real unicorns. How hard can it be to give them a few special properties, and when else are we going to get them without another My First Pet disaster? But then I remembered what I said before, that I don't use the chickens' special properties either and would probably be fine with just playing pretend...

    It's a vicious circle. I'm disappointed even though I know I shouldn't be. Right now, my thought is that I should probably "vote with my wallet", as I've heard many Sims players say, and simply not support a company that keeps letting me down. But I have no life, one of the reasons I play this game is to keep the depression at bay, and I do want the horses and the new desert world really bad, so I'm probably going to buy the pack anyway. :|

    Edit: I just had my lunch break at work, grabbed a random cup for my hot cholocate that I'd never seen before, and there was a writing on it: "It's never too late to saddle a unicorn." How ironic...

    I've been thinking... in actual legend, rather than story, Unicorns really didn't do all that much. Their horn was considered a curative and a purifier against illnesses and poisons, but otherwise, they were more important as a symbol of purity than actually having much magic.

    So if they kept to actual legendary unicorns, the most they would do is de-spoil food, as anything else requires another pack and we all know the problems with DLC for DLC. (Food poisoning is in Dine Out, Fugu poisoning in City Living, Illness is in Get to Work, and environmental poisoning is in Eco Lifestyle.)

    I know in a lot of stories they do more, but real medieval Unicorns weren't actually that mystical, probably because they were considered "real" rather than mythic.

    I'm going to hold out hope that getting access to the horn requires breeding a specail trait, rather than finding an add on accessory, but other than that, I think uncorns not doing much is perfectly in keeping with their medieval traditions.

    @DaWaterRat You're right about unicorns not being that special in legend, but that would have made it even easier for the developers if you ask me. They could have given unicorns a small power that occult players would appreciate, while using legend as an excuse explanation if other players complained that unicorns don't do enough.

    Also, don't sims still get negative moodlets from eating spoiled food anyway, even without Dine Out? Even if not, I can think of other, Horse Ranch-specific uses for unicorns as well. If they're all about purification, they might have beneficial effects on home-made nectar, which would actually be a nice bridge between horses and nectar making because these features don't have anything in common otherwise. It feels like a missed opportunity, a small thing that would have made a big difference in my opinion.

    Another legendary detail about unicorns and their obsession with "purity" that I don't think many people know about: They seem to have a problem with human sexuality. According to some sources, only (female) virgins can approach them safely, others run a risk of being killed. With nearly all sims being pansexual and very woohoo-happy by default, imagine the massacre that would ensue if that kind of unicorn was let loose on sim society. :D

    Another waisted opportunity to add something that goes well with the whole pack. If you do not add unicorns in a horse pack where will you add it?

    Like in the Cottage Living where we did not get horses. Such a pity.

    I like the lore that unicorns can be just as evil as they can be good. We can always use more occults.

    Blessings & Rainbows 🌈 Curses & Fires 🔥

    I'm pretty disappointed about it but honestly that ship sailed the moment they weren't in the trailers so I knew already.
