I want glowing sims!

I don't know what for, but after reading this thread I just really want them.

<sigh> I could swear I've seen a site that had glowing sims - fairy sims, I believe - a blue fairy specifically, I believe.

But I've been looking since I saw this thread and I can't find it :( I haven't yet played a fantasy theme so I haven't bookmarked them - just scrolled by looking for something else.

Maybe it was really just a story pic or something... or I'm just insane.

But I really thought there was one. Nobody else has seen it?

Heh, thanks.  I figured, what the hey, I've already got angels, demons, Apocalyptic Horsepersons and personifications of dead Norse and Egyptian gods hanging around, might as well go all the way and add Him Above and Him Below as well.  (Though how I'm going to manage a perpetually burning Sim who never dies I'm not sure.)  XD

Pratchett & Gaiman fan, by any chance?

I'd love to see any screenshots you may have of the characters in this neighborhood -- sounds wild!

Massive Good Omens fan.  I've got one GO-themed neighborhood that's vaguely canon-ish and another tailored for a Good Omens RPG I'm in.  XD  I don't have a lot of in-game shots but there's some stuff from both hoods and BodyShop under the first link.

This mod will allow you to add the various effects to a sim, but I'm not sure which effects it includes, and if the chosen effect stays if the sim travels to a community lot.

Oh wow, thanks!!  It includes the blue Elixir Success glow and a "beam of light" that follows a Sim around.  It's not precisely what I had in mind, but much better than nothing.  Haven't tried it on a Community Lot yet but I will.  :)

Thank you for looking, sagana.  If you do happen to find it again, please let me know!

Hmm... might it not be possible to program an object that would allow you to attach glows of various hues to your Sims and remove them again?  That could be rather nifty... not to mention pretty darned shiny.  (Though arguably useless except for artistic purposes, heh.)

That could be Sapphire sims maybe, I seem to be having trouble connecting, otherwise I'd go look myself.

The attraction glow effect is a particularly nice one. I'd like to have the ability to use that at will myself.

That effects object linked to above also looks like it'll provide me some amusement.

I just looked at the effects object from the InSIM site, and it does allow you to have a sim glow in SEVERAL ways. Plus there are smoke effects. And there are Lightbeams, which look all sparkly and perfect for an angel or god/goddess. I first thought that might be the attraction glow, but it's the beam that comes for dead sims.

EDIT: Hey, you can mix black smoke with white smoke for a really weird effect.

harmless' handy-dandy no-hacks-needed 100% tested:

How to Make Your Sims Glow Blue

This is a glitch that sometimes occurs when you have a Sim drink the Elixir of Life.
It took me a minute to figure out how to make them do it every time.

Step 1: When they are in a Gold or Platinum Mood pause the game then make sure your Sim isn't wearing what you want them to sleep in (i.e. no pajamas or undies - this is important!) and that you have the Elixir in the bedroom (actually last night I had a Sim drink from one downstairs and then go straight to bed upstairs and the same effect still happened so maybe the most important thing is just the order - drink, then sleep but put it in the bedroom to be sure!).

Step 2: Queue up "Drink Elixir", followed immediately by going to bed; clicking on it and choosing "Sleep in Pajamas (or Undies or Naked, as long as your Sim isn't already in it!)".

Step 3: Fast Forward (use the >>> or hit '3' on your keyboard). They'll drink the Elixir then immediately head for bed and spin into the their sleepwear causing the blue glow to stick to them.

To end the effect just have them drink from the elixir again while in gold or platinum. 

If you can't get it to work, you just ain't doing it right.  Wink
I've done this with over 15 Sims, mostly by accident  Roll Eyes and it has worked every time.
Got pics if you need proof.  Kiss

Now to mess with SimPE for those other cool effects you guys are talking about.
I wonder if you have a Sim 'Scope Room' right as the Sim they are attracted to is getting into bed if the same thing will happen.  Seems like it would be hard to get the timing right.

Well that's pretty darn nifty!  Thanks, and good luck with figuring out the other stuff!

Thank you.  I love to experiment on the lil' bastages.   Grin
 
What most people get wrong when trying this is that they forget to use fast forward to unpause the game.
Unpausing then fast forwarding won't give you 100%.

I still think somebody should make an object to add/remove various ambient glows of assorted colors!
