Fog Emitter Effects Animations Series

This tutorial series is a complete animated list of the fog emitter effects from the Sims 3. This is an ongoing project and due to the amount of animations(there are a lot!) they are grouped alphabetically and I will release them as I finish them. Please watch the intro as it explains how these are organized and other important things.

  1. Woah eve that is pretty darn amazing. Silly me over here didn't even know the FE could do all that stuff. This is going to be so useful, thanks so much for putting in the hard work to do this and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the animations for it.

  7. Hi SimEve, I am trying to make a volcano, I use meteorimpact for the explosion but I want to make the illusion of ashes falling, so what would be the best code for it?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Clubers- I think you could try the snow animations and see what that looks like. It might look good but it could be too white. You can try it out.

    snowfallingheavynight
    snowfallingheavynighttime
    snowfallinglightday
    snowfallinglightdaytime
    snowfallinglightnight
    snowfallinglightnighttime
    Also, this dark cloud one might be cool over the volcano area:

    Let me know if these work out for you.

  11. Hi!

    First of all I'd like to thank you for your efforts, it is really a high-quality project. But I am still confused about rainbow. How do I make one? Is it an animation, or a static rainbow? I have commands like:
    rainbow
    rainbowsource
    rainbowsourceinter
    rainbowsourceinterinter, etc.

    How do I use them? Help me please!
    Thank you in advance.

  12. I don't think I've gotten that far yet on the list yet. I'll check it out next time I go in game. Not all of the effects work though, so it might be one of those. I'll let you know what I see in my game.

  13. Super work, which must be very tedious.
    I updated the codes for SIMS 3 Generations

  14. Just wondering where you get these codes from, are they in a game files or something?

    ReplyDelete
  15. For codes you just look for the effects of S3PE "DeltaBuild0.package"

  16. dear eve ,

    i realy want to know how to make a aquarium with bubbels !
    can you help me please?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks GamesY. I wondered how to find them. I've been getting them from Alexurt so far. It is a bit tedious... ;).

    ReplyDelete
  18. Kimberly, there are a ton of bubble animations you can use. The best one I have seen for aquariums so far is one in the current set I am working on. Try "poolbubbles" It looks like the little jets of bubbles in aquariums.

  19. For the anon. person asking about rainbow animations, I haven't been able to get them to work. I'll let you know if something changes, but g=for now it looks like they just don't work.
