Interesting. I am very curious to know how you did this, as I do not know any animations or actions within game that resemble a flying sim.

Now all you have to do is add a broom and make some happy witches, wizards and Harry Potter fanatics!

Default This is fun!
I really didn't have any earthly use for this ... I don't have any sprites or fairies or witches in my game ... but I downloaded this anyway because it's very different and it looked like it would be fun to play with. That, and my daughter was behind me urging me to try it.

This is a fun mod, and my Simmies seem to like it. I can't keep them away from this bottle! My daughter is loving this, too. Thanks! By the way, I don't have OFB ... just Nightlife and Uni ... and this mod works just fine. The only problem I found was the HTML manual. I couldn't open it, and I do have Windows. I kept getting "Action Cancelled".

GrimReaper, the only animations I could think of are the bubble blower animations. But MajorJeff REALLY added to them.

Thank you very much everyone for your nice feedback !
It's really great to see how many people are interested by this object, and what use they make of it.
And a special big thanks for those who told me that it works fine and gave their expansion packs.

Some answers:

@Madness
why does the Sim look transparent or ghostly in insert #2?

Just a second effect of the potion, but it doesn't hurt...
I wanted to use something similar to the Teleport function but without the same effect exactly.
Quote:
Is that going to happen to Sims after they drink this?

Yes, but don't worry, it's not permanent!

if you could hack that 'flying' , could you hack alsow the 'teleport' (become without meditation) ?

Like babydawl1880 said, this hack already exists; and I use it too because it's so useful for large houses :-)

know how you did this, as I do not know any animations or actions within game that resemble a flying sim.

I used the two flying animations from the bubble blower object.
They are randomly played.

In which language could you translate the strings? They are not many so it would be a quick job...

Me too :-) But when my Sims are needing some fun or confort, sometimes I make them flying; I really like to see them flying in unknown directions and while watching, I'm trying to guess where they will go, whether they will skip a tree or not...

You're using Internet Explorer 7 (Beta 2), aren't you? I got a similar problem with some HTML Help files on one of my computers with version 7.
A possible solution: you need to "Unblock" the help file using the file properties dialog (in XP SP2).

Great!
I'll send you the string by PM.
For the factory, I was waiting for the German strings and I finally got them; so I'm making a final version and will release it in some days with two new languages :D

Is there any way you could have a manual in another file format? I am on a Mac that has no idea what the blazes a .chm file is.

Well, first of all, i am very happy with your hack Them flying around the lot is much fun, but it also made me wonder, and in some way i think its appropriate to ask, is is possible to add this hack to the action thing of the adultsim? Like, *click*, dance, flirt, ask, fly?

I know nothing of hacking but is this technically impossible or is it hard?

Are you sure it wont work at all without university? I have nightlife...

I think it uses the interactions from:
Vamprillocin (NL)
Bubble thing (Uni)

So would I be able to use it... I do have nightlife and OFB
