I did not want to post this with the other unicorn thread as it has far too much misinformation with inviting a unicorn to join your household. If you don't want to know how it can be done, please read no further.
The key to inviting a unicorn is having a specific number of (animal or sim) best friends,
not specific animals as some have suggested. I have done this 4 times specifically to see if all will result in having a unicorn join, the only difference is the amount of time it takes for the unicorn to spawn. The longest being the attempt with a mixture of animals at day 5 of week 2, the shortest was with only horses at day 5 week 1.
This is easily repeatable and each run through took a little over 30 minutes (an hour with 2 cats, 2 dogs and a horse). I will be showing screenshots and videos from the horses only run through for a couple reasons. First, it was the most extensive with screenshots and videos. Second, because if all a person wants is a unicorn, they can then sell the horses for a profit. This may be possible with 3 or 4 pets, but I went with 5 just to be sure it would work and still have one spot open for the unicorn to join.
Meet Reynaldo!
his traits are: Equestrian, Charismatic, Loves the Outdoors, Ambitious and Friendly. His Lifetime wish is to be a jockey
He is a simple man, with a love for all things with 4 legs that are taller then him.
Once he is best friends with all of the horses, he spends his days and nights looking for rain clouds. Because where there is rain, there is a rainbow with a unicorn at the end of it!
Rain clouds mean a Unicorn is near by!
Once Reynaldo sees the rain clouds he drops everything and heads off to introduce himself to the new 4 legged animal in the neighborhood.
Meet Eldin Horse, the unicorn.
Reynaldo takes some time feeding him carrots, and petting him until Eldin gives him his Unicorn blessing, as seen here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yE9Tn5T-1vo the video covers the last few seconds of receiving the blessing, a positive moodlet lasting 8 hours. Once this happens you know you are able to invite the unicorn to join your household.
Nervous, Reynaldo works up the courage to ask Eldin to join his family
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFw7AmxQlMA Here you can clearly see that Reynaldo has only 5 best friends, his horses, and 1 friend that he just made in Eldin. The rest are wild horses he watched on his home lot.
Lastly, here you can see 2 new friends riding off into the sunse-err-rise

Eldin Horse has maxed out riding and jumping, age: adult with 97 days to age up ( at week 1 day 5 )
In the 3 other attempts:
- Dogs only had Eldin adult with 94 days
- Cats only had Dany Horse adult with 86 days
- 2 Dogs, 2 Cats and 1 horse had Dany Horse adult with 84 days
