Glowing Sims: Possible?
« on: 2006 February 03, 02:51:35 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Okay, well, nobody over at MTS2 seems to know, so maybe someone here will deign to point and laugh and explain why this isn't possible.

Could a Sim be made to glow?  I mean, just walk around emitting light like an ambulatory floor lamp?  Doesn't matter if it's the skin or the clothes or the hair or even full-face makeup, as long as the effect is that the dude shines wherever he goes.  Anybody know?  I'm not afraid to muck around in SimPE but I haven't done that much with it yet...

It sounds like a good idea but you'll likely just be ignored instead unless it's something they find interesting.

The only way I can think of (being largely non-awesome myself) is to hack the toddler smart milk glow and make it available for adults somehow.  I asked Pescado and he said he didn't know.

But he wasn't really concentrating either, mostly ranting about hard drive destroying.  Tongue

However, I don't see why it couldn't be done although I'm not sure what the point of it would be.

What about the glow when a sim scopes the room as sees someone they find attractive?

Edited: Smart-milk or attraction glow would work fine too.  I'm not picky.  Though actual lamp-type light would be my first choice.  I poked around in a lamp package and found some stuff dealing with light, but it's far beyond my understanding as yet.

Well, it's not really glowing but could object just stick an invisible lamp into the middle of a sim, making them some sort of moving light or something?  I personally think that would look better than having stuck-milk sparkles or the nightlife sparkle thing.  Then again, you might want that effect.  I know nothing about the SimAntics code so I don't even know if sticking a lamp in the middle of a sim is possible.

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

I've had glowing teens.
Sometimes when teens drink elixier of life, the glow gets stuck, and they keep glowing until they grow up.
I haven't had it happen in a while though.  It's probably fixed in a patch or something.

Yeah, there are several ways for Sims to get a glow in the game.  I just need one that stays.  Isn't the elixir glow green, though?  :)

The elixier is green, but I think the glow is blue.
I don't really remember.

I think that's the most godly glow.

Yeah, I really like the scope room glow too. But maybe the smartmilk glow would be easiest to program?
Not that I know anything about it.

It would be funny if you stuck the scope room glow on "god" and that meant that everyone thought he was hot.

I would think the attraction glow would be easier, as it's actually meant to be applied to adults, unlike the toddler glow.

I never thought about it before I saw this thread, but I'd quite like having god walking around my hood.

I've got Cassandra Dreamer (nee Goth) stuck with a blue glow but unlike you I don't want it. I'll try ageing her up & then back down again to see if that gets rid of it.

Cheers for the idea Wink

I think they glow when they get electrocuted, too. Maybe that could work?

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.

Once, when I had a sim take an energizing medicine from Shaklin's medicine cabinent (had to see what it did!), she had a persistent blue sparkly glow around her for days. It was interesting and more than a little eerie.

Glowing sims also suggest all sorts of possible sci-fi uses to me, such as mad scientist experiment gone awry, victims of radioactive fallout, glowing aliens, etc. Could be interesting, very interesting....
