Rainbow Gem & Imaginary Friends

[DigiBlue]

My sim got the opportunity to find a rainbow gem to turn her imaginary friend real. I happen to be lucky enough to find one today; Her mother collected it. I moved it to the childs inventory, but the opportunity didn't update. Does the gem need to be cut? Does the child being in school have anything to do with it not updating?


Thanks.

The opportunity didn't get updated for me either but there should be a 'Deliver Gem' option if you click on the science facility. You can also send it to the science facility through the mailbox. Once you do either of those things, you will be able to purchase an Imaginary Friend Metamorphium potion for $4500.

That did it. Thanks!

dang, i was hoping this was something that would work for me and one of my families, but you need a science lab apparently. the hood i'm working with now doesnt have any lots big enough to hold a science facility. i'm still trying to figure out how i'm going to turn someone into a ghost without one.

that chemistry set gets tedious working your way up to being able to make that potion. especially when you keep "poof" ing yourself.

You could always try using custom rabbithole doors or rugs for your science facility and just build a small building to house them.

ok, i'm about to come out of the closet as complete "simtard"


what?

rabbit holes?
rugs?

what?

i'm running vanilla, the only "custom" things i have, are off the exchange, and what i've painted myself in the ingame create a whatever. not even create a world, i cant figure it out. to complex.

i finally, FINALLY, figured out how to download custom worlds other folk made, so i can twist them to my needs, and i'm having a lovely time, but i have a crapload of imaginary friends i'd like to do *things* with and only 1 sim who knows how to make the potion.


so yeah, i'm going to slink back in my techtarded lil hole and keep trying to figure out what the heck ya'll are talking about half the time, asking questions when i think it wont completely expose my 'fliction.

yeah, imagine being tech flicted and trying to find weird grownup mods for risky woohoo and same sex preggers without them being "core" mods, whatever the hell that means... what does that mean? i dont know, but it sounds scary, and i admit it, i'm frightened...

sorry bout that last lil paraghrphlet there, i have almost tourettse ish

i think i kindof understand the "rabbit hole" thing. thats the places that you dont get to follow your sim, and see what they're doing, like work, school, inside the "corsican bistro" (that just seems silly) and building a small "shack" for lack of a better word, that houses whatever magical "thingy" makes for a science lab, sounds like a smurfy idea.

but i have no idea what half of the things i unlock with buydebug are. i'll figure it out eventually i s'pose.


sorry for the double post. i guess this is considered a double post, i'm replying after myself, but there was so much to say i felt stupid editing an already too long post.

not that THIS post was strictly speaking necessary...

You're correct about rabbitholes :) The buildings sims enter for school, work, the grocery store, restaurant etc. are special large objects with particular pre-programmed behaviors in the game.

Raven Shadow (aka Jynx), with a massive amount of patience and trial and error, made some much smaller objects that you can use instead of these large buildings. There are rugs and doors, but note that some rabbitholes are only available in one of these forms. You can incorporate these into lots and buildings you make yourself, and sims will use them just like the rabbit hole buildings. You can even put them on residential lots.

They're easy to use and work great. If you've never installed a mod, though, you should read the installation instructions and/or help topics :)

i had all kindsa nifty stuff for sims2. not a gosh durn thang for sims3. the downloading process scares me because SO much of the stuff i truly, well, need i guess, says "core mod" and messing with your core sounds so darn frightning.

i've had another friend who sims, try to tell me she'd hold my hand and tell me how this crap... wait, sorry, stuff... works, and why not to be scared...

but yeah, i have a ghost i'm trying to make a ghost, and i'm SURE some of the buydebug stuff has to do with all that. but this is starting to sound like a different thread.
i suppose if it has to do with the science facility and trying to get imaginary friends real, it still applies.

i'll go check out where you said, and i'll go browse ya'lls dl section. i do that and daydream once in a while anyway

To create a ghost without a science lab, you will need to do some cheating. Luckily, MTS has a mod just for that, so no more waiting for a Oh My Ghost :)
