That settles it, my self-sim's going to get a hedgehog and name him Sonic.

Wow...this definitely looks much better than TS2 Pets, heck maybe even Unleashed. I'm so happy about the mechanical bull returning. I remember that being one of the objects that attracted me to The Sims. I'm glad dogs can swim. The selection of small animals as a whole looks great. Interesting that unicorns are the new creature. They look like they'll be really useful. But sims can't ride them?

3 games in and pets still can't be taken on vacation? I think that's the only major disappointment for me. That and Scottish Folds aren't on the list of cat breeds. Maybe EA's not done making breeds yet because the list of cat breeds looks very small.

Thanks for sharing this info! I'm surprised to see a leak this big from The Sims. I wonder if all those things will be in the final product, I didn't expect vending machines and an ice cream truck in a Pets EP. I guess it works since part of the idea of having pets is to take them to the park, but I would have expected those two things to be sold in the store. Actually, the vending machine was on that store survey back in December.

Unicorns....


FUCK THAT..

SHIEEEEEEEEEET

I'll just have to make "dog people" or "cat people" or "hedgehog people" for shape shifters.. sheeeeet... I'm actually annoyed.

So unicorns... no shapeshifters aww. But sure sounds like there is going to be wayyy more than sims 1 or 2 pets has ever had Has the date when it comes to stores been announced or still unknown? I wish it wont be like only october or november. Can't wait for it either, must get it already >.<

After reading through that document there's also an interaction relating to a "Sing A Gram".

"Romantic Sing A Gram"
"Celebration Sing A Gram"
"Call for Sing A Gram"
"Cheer up Sing A Gram"
"You are special Sing A Gram"

I would sooooo rather have a unicorn than a stupid werewolf. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they're both there.

I really disliked TS2's werewolves; they were pretty pointless. But a unicorn sounds awesome!

Nope, it's more like OMG !

Well the simbot is called Frankenstein in the game files so I wouldn't take anything too seriously.

WoW WoW WoW WoW....that is alot!

deers and raccoons<3and so much more!

*needs time to digest it all*

Maybe they changed Frankenstein into Simbot at the last minute. That would explain a lot of things about it's behaviour.

Yay!!!!

Just you wait, the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic characters are going to take over the exchange!

I see there's wants about brushing horses, so that seems to confirm the brushes in the concept art are indeed usable. There's also a want to pet a raccoon. I also saw stuff about asking permission to ride another sim's horse. I wouldn't have thought of that, I figured our sims would have been able to hop on any tamed horse whenever they wanted to.

I'll be honest that I am upset that we won't have werewolves as the new creature since it is my favorite out of all the creatures in the Sims series.

With the unicorn, it looks like it will be the first creature to not be part of a human Sim. Like with the other creatures, the Sim can become that creature or the creature can become a Sim. I wonder if it's possible for a regular horse to become a unicorn. I think that might be interesting, but it may cause problems like the Late Night vampires where every horse turns into a unicorn.

Hopefully unicorns and deers will be restricted to suburban worlds, I wouldn't like to see them in Bridgeport or another downtown world.

On a side note, horses can be directed to kick Sims!
"{0.SimFirstName} can't Kick with a rider on {MA.his}{FA.her} back!"
"There is not enough space around {0.SimFirstName} for me to kick {MA.him}{FA.her}."

The Unicorn sounds kind of nice...although I never play with the special creatures. My daughters will be thrilled though.

I suspect that many of the smaller creatures will be spawned and you can probably keep them in a tank or a cage. Still, it will be cool to have animals running round in the world. I sure hope most of these make it into the game!

The unicorn is like Bigfoot from TS2, only cuter, and fluffier, and somewhat magical.

OMG. As soon as my mom gives me my 50 dollars for work, I know what I'm pre-ordering!

Release date is October 18. Far too long for me, though!

I REALLY hope Unicorn-fire is autonomous... along with the ability to curse people. I mean, at first, I was thinking this was a pretty lame creature, but then I realized "DUDE! APOCALYPTIC UNICORNS!" This totally made my day. Now I gotta go pre-order!

I found this topic in the Sims 3 official forums: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/413512.page

Although I wouldn't say that the unicorn is ridiculous. In fact, I'm excited to have it around, I do agree that I wouldn't call it a life state. I'm not sure if they will include something else like a werewolf, but it would be nice. If they don't include it though, I'll just install my Sims 2 game and hope that my computer doesn't blow up from having all three generations of Sims games on it (and my CC addiction for all three games).

I would like to know a little more information on the unicorn on whether or not you can play as it, or if your Sim/Horse can become a unicorn. (I love playing the life states )
I'm a little worried that it will be more like an NPC like the witch doctor in Sims 2 Bon Voyage. If it is playable, I wonder if we will get baby unicorns as well.

I am wondering if they are going to include a magic expansion pack eventually since it seems like they added the magic elements to the pets expansion pack and have the spell book at the Sims 3 store.

Hopefully we will hear more about the unicorn since it's now been introduced.

EDIT:

BlackGuardian stated some other things found in the file as well.

So much talk of them that I'm getting more exited of the unicorns! Yay for unicorns, we can play with werewolves in the sims 2 anyway But darn that it's not gonna be in stores until 18th of October, that's like forrever :P

We're FINALLY getting new roofing.
WA roofing was nice, but it's good to get more.

Unicorns seem really beast. But I didn't like werewolves and I don't think they will add another creature. Because there is usually only one occult per game. Does anyone know if we can control the unicorns? (You know, make them curse, set fires, and bless stuff? That would make this game worth it.)

I'm hoping we can. I think people will be upset if they can't control it, so I doubt that they would make it the new creature and be uncontrollable. I wonder if Sims will get that "OMG a Unicorn!" reaction as well. It would be interesting to have one of my insane Sims show up to work on a unicorn and have his co-workers freak out.

Some of the info included in the file is just weird. Something about "something" escaping a sim's pair of pants."


Damn trouser snakes....

Don't forget mice and wormrats too.
My old hamster used to have a thing about wanting to go down people's shirts and going up pant legs. This new addition is all too realistic for me.

can the game even recognize what is and is not pants.
