Ooo, Sparklies! *Runs in dancing circles around the lawn* Mine! Gimme! *hits download button* Yay!

I've wanted a shimmering effect for my skins for like forever, but I didn't think it was possible. But it is! Yay.

Well, this isn't *exactly* like the shimmering skin in my stories, but it's close enough.

Ooh, pretty! This ought to make my goddess sim a little more convincing... that and her unearthly eyes, and she'll be right :D

Thank you so much!

The recolors and other objects ideas sound totally awesome! I'd really look forward to the musical ntoes, butterflies, and bees. (LOL I don't like bees, it would be more for stories if I feel like messing with my self-sim. XD )


These are great!! I absolutely adore your work. ^__^

Say, have you thought about other objects floating around the sim? Say, for example, eyeballs with bat wings? that may be a little difficult, but pretty cool for darker sims. Or, perhaps something to do with song lyrics? Like.... oh, maybe song lyrics just floating around the sim. ::shrug:: those may be a bit difficult.


This is a great idea, I can't wait to use it in my game! ^__^

Hehe, well, if anyone else would like to use that animated gif on their own creations, I don't mind, as long as they upload it to their own webspace (I'm hotlinking to my own site, so please don't steal my bandwidth) to use it. I'm livid over about half a dozen people having already uploaded my Cherub hair to the Exchange, all but one not even mentioning where to get the mesh. Buttfaces. Buttfaces, ALL of them!

Anyway, I went ahead and updated with an animated gif so you can see what it looks like in the game - it's actually very much like the animated gif. I'm gonna try to get a couple daytime shots, too. Sorry, I'm bleary today... normally I'm better at this whole uploading and sharing content thing.

jenny_dunagan: Full model credits are in my first post (because someone ALWAYS asks if I don't list every little thing). The hair's by me, and is available here. Just click on my name to see the rest of my MTS2 uploads.


Thank you HystericalParoxysm, I shall try that one out in the future myself, slight idea for it maybe, it would be great by adding evil sparklies: dunno if it's hard work to make them black.

Could i use your copyright gif? Love that one Exchange

Cheers and keep those great idea's of yours comming!

PS How do you add the pics in the uppost without adding them in the Screenshots?

Making them black wouldn't be too hard. If you want to try to recolour it, PM me and I'll see about getting you instructions. If you're experienced in Photoshop (or whatever) and using SimPE doesn't bother you, it's pretty easy.

Of course you can use my gif. Just save it to your hard drive and upload it to your own web space.

The pics in the upload post are linked with the (img) tag to my own website. You'll note I still upload a pic to MTS2 so it gets a proper thumbnail (and because it's the rules), but I figure it's a little more interesting format-wise, and I've got a great deal on bandwidth, so I use mine instead of using that much more of MTS2's.

WOW fantastic idea. i, too cant wait to see the sparklies in diff colours. do they only start floating round a sim who is "infatuated" w/ another sim or are they always present? is it something you have to earn, such as a reward etc? just curious.

Hehe, no, rain_petal, it's not anything as complex as all that. It's just an accessory - shows up under glasses. You can put it on or take it off a sim at will, with any other accessories they may wear.

I'm working on a lot of different things at once, but I've had a couple people inquire about doing recolours, so hopefully there'll be some more options for the sparklies soonishly.
