Twin Foals?

Having a degree in animal repro, I can tell you that horses do actually conceive twins quite often, but usually one is aborted very early on in pregnancy. If not, twins result in one of three scenarios: 1) one dead foal, one live foal 2) two dead foals 3) two dead foals and a dead mare. Maaaaybe every 150 years or so something bizarre will happen and a mare will have live twins and then people take all kinds of pictures and shove them in the experts' faces and say "See? TWINS! So THERE!" Then we roll our eyes, mutter something about exceptions that prove the rule and get on with life. :-)

Admittedly RL biology has nothing to do with computer game horses, but it's been said several times that foals only come one at a time in Pets. Which stinks, cause I'd like twin unicorn foals, too. :D I mean, come on! It's a mythological beast that can set things on fire and teleport, why can't it have twins? :wink: But it would probably be too complicated to have a possibility for twins only with a unicorn mother.

Good point to make fellow Simmers, but lets not dig up threads that date back to 2011 shall we? I'm sure that others may find this thread of interest but there is a reason that that last post was made in January. Let 'dead' threads lie my friends, let 'dead' threads lie.

Hey, as cool as that would be they've already said that horses can only have one foal at a time.

They have already stated that horses will ONLY have 1 foal at a time cats and dogs can have multiples

Yeah, I wouldn't think a horse could carry more than one...that'd be tight and uncomfortable.

Yeah, it's super rare for horses to have twin foals. Usually it results in birth complications and most of the time one foal dies. =(

Thanks everyone for replying! :) I tried looking for this answer but I never found it. Well that would be cool if they did but one foal is good for me too :D THANKS!

Yeah they can't have twins in the game but at first playing sims 3 pets I thought they could because when my mares are pregnant an thought bubble shows up with a green pacifier with a number 2 at the bottom which in Sims means twins so if a horse can think about twins you'd think they would have some right? Maybe eventually someone would make a twin foal mod for us :)

I have just bred my Wild Horse, and she had a symbol with a pacifire with a 2 next to it. Is that possibly twins? :!:

guys u can have twin foals in sims 3 if u get ur horse bleesed while pregnant by a unicorn and if they mate with aunicorn peopel ar saying its true ive justed been blessed so i will soon find out but yh in reel life really rare and they normannly die
