Baby Dragons
The Red, Green, Purple and Black Dragons are small pets with special abilities. Before hatching into Baby Dragons, you will need to purchase the Dragon Eggs in buy mode under “Misc. Entertainment” for 395 Simoleons. The Dragons and their Eggs can only be used by Sims Child-Elder.
Once you have purchased the Dragon Egg, you will need to “Talk to” the egg in order to hatch it. There are a number of socials you can use to interact with the dragon eggs, and once you speak to it, it will enable the 6 hour hatching time. Once the six hours are up, the Dragon Egg will hatch into a Baby Dragon.
The following socials are available when talking to the Dragon Eggs:
♦ Brag about Physical Prowess
♦ Gossip about Love of Fire
♦ Talk about Job
♦ Talk about the Weather
♦ Talk about Friends
♦ Discuss the Egg Paradox
♦ Plot against Enemies
♦ Converse about Existentialism
Once your Dragon Egg hatches into a Baby Dragon, there will be plenty to do with them. The “super powers” your Baby Dragon possesses, will depend on the color of their skin. Each baby dragon is equipped with special abilities that make them all unique.
Each of the four baby dragons can be fed, played with, carried, and even fly around in areas where there’s enough room to do so. Click a baby dragon and select any of these interactions at any time.
❗ While Sims can own as many baby dragons as they choose to, they can only have one of each Baby Dragon color stored in their inventory at one time.
❗ Be sure to name your Baby Dragon immediately. If you do not name your baby dragons, townies will be able to run off with them.
