Oh man? You have to clone ALL of them? *pats on back* I wish you the best of luck with that! Here's a cup of virtual coffee to cheer you up:

Thanks. i think i may be able to use the spa light from freetime. But i still haven't figured out how to make the stars pained on the wall light up. i gave up on those for the moment, and I'm just working on a regular wall lamp for the moment.

Hang on, I'm pretty sure there are some glow in the dark stars availabable for download here or on some other site. I'll look to see if I can find them again. I think they're alpa editable too. Do you think that would help?

Those are wicked cool, but the problem lies in that they aren't lamps, and therefore have no on-off function.

Edit: Hang on, those gave me an idea. I'll clone the glowing bowling sign, because it isn't affected by shadows (and therefore has no need of a glow group), casts light, is walk-throughable, and isn't a lamp. Let me go try that...

The only problem I can think of with the bowling sign is that it might not be alpha editable...

Edit: I looked up how to make the transparencies show up, so hopefully it'll work with those changes......*prays*

Edit(again): YES!! it worked! See the pic!! It need a little fine-tuning, but it worked!!! *does happy dance!* Anybody know how to make it appear on residential lots? it currently only appears on community...

Oh that looks very nice. As for making it appear for community. In Simpe, when you're putting it into a catergory, is there anything like that there?

This is a tutorial for making objects available on community lots, but it might work the other way around. And if it doesn't I think this tutorial would be the place to ask. Hope that helps!

i actually found that one, but it didn't work the other way round, so I cloned the fancy sconce, and made it alpha-editable.

far too many CC's, that's for sure.

Edit: Here's the upper floor, with just the straight walls covered with the stars. I need to make a corner and edge model because where walls intersect at right angles the texture gets stretched, and the lamp won't fit the texture. i also need to make a diagonal model. But what do you think of the lighting given off? I messed with the LGHT file to make the light fall off very quickly. Any suggestions as to how to make this floor more twilight-y? Maybe a different floor covering? Suggestions please!



Edit: (again) You know, I think i may just go back to the clone of the bowling sign, because i doesn't give off any light. I wonder how that'd affect the sim's moods...

Looks like it is coming along fine. And I believe that light doesn't matter if the room score is high enough, since that is what lights affect.

yeah, I'm just going to remake these lights into clones of the bowling sign, and up the enviro levels for them.

By the way Eliskuya, sorry i've been a bit absent lately. I barely have time for checking up on all the stuff I have going, so I haven't gotten around to talking to you. and it'll take more than a day for me to finish this.

That's really all that's changed since the last pics of it. I've been busy, so not a whole lot of time for it.

Edit: I'm making a clock for the top of the stairs, but i can't decide how to do it. I'm basing it off the treeclock in the tower room in the n64 version of the castle, but I can't decide how the clock should look. I'm thinking of maybe making it still a tree, but updating the tree design to look more like this:


Think it'd look good, or would it be a stupid idea?

Edit: well, stupid idea or not, I did it. :D

Here it is:



Now i just have to read the tut on retaining animations...

looks fantastic! maybe the pendulum should have a more golden look to make it stand out, and the actual clock is hidden a bit, either lower the clock, or raise the leaves on the tree.

A pm! I feel speeeecial! *happy* The more I see those stars, the more I love them. The clock is wonderful too. Do you think we could see the layout (birdview shots of each floor) I'm interested to see what you've done with the layout!

Also, a quick (hopefully easy) suggestion would be to recolor doors to have stars on them. You know, the Mario 64 doors where it had a star with a number on it that said how many stars you needed to get into a room? Some just had a normal star on them if I'm not mistaken. Just a suggestion!

I agree with whitewaterwood bird-view shots of the layout and some star doors would be good.

Ok, I'll raise the leaves, and I'll try to get some bird's eye shots, but I've only done the top floor and the foyer on the main floor, and I haven't even carved out the basement yet, so it won't be too different. I like the star doors idea, I'll get on that as soon as my homework load lightens up.

WWW: glad i made you feel special. :D

edit: and thanks for replying, it saved me the trouble of having to make a new thread.

Edit (again): I finally got the hands and pendulum moving (thanks to amberdiceless), and I raised the leaves a bit. Here's a close-up of the face.

And a vid: http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo...JWKaJVofw%3D%3D
When it says "video not found," just let the vid run, then play it again, and it'll show.


texture is, as always, entirely by me. :D

Yeah, I haven't really had time to talk to ANYONE lately. just things like this...updating, threads, that sort of thing. I'm usually working on homework until 8 or 9 in the evening, and school lets out at 3 pm here. So not much time for talking, though I'll try to find more time for it, though I'm not promising anything....I have to do homework first...

Just a new star deco i put together, much better than my first star. It was going to be the first tree clock, only a star clock, when I scrapped that design, i saved the mesh. I have it on top of a warp pipe, making them appear to come out of it. What do you think? It glows in the dark, but gives off no light.
