Hmmmm...i may be losing my mind trying to find something that is not there....

Okay, so a long while back on the officials I saw a pic someone else posted of their male and female sims in an embrace. This was right after Generations and before Pets, I believe...to give you an idea of how long back it was. There were these 3 different colored "orbs" floating around them (If I remember they were red, blue and green). I remember someone asking what they were, and the user told them what they were, and I thought they had gotten them with the Generations EP because once (s)he pointed them out in the game (where to find them, and of course I cannot remember what she said) I remember thinking at the time, "ohhhhh....that's what those are! Cool!"

Well, time went on and I didn't ever use them, but now I want to! And the thing is I cannot remember what they were, or where you found them (or if they even did really come with an EP, let alone the Generations EP---maybe it was CC that you had to use and you needed the Generations EP to use them).

Anyway, does this ring a bell to anyone, I mean as far as what they might be or where I can find them?

I remember seeing them and not really wanting to use them before, but this one user used them as sort of colored fireflys for her pic. I know this isn't much to go by, but it's been driving me nuts for months!


Hmmmm....maybe it came from Late Night....

Help?!

Well, it definitely didn't come from late night. Sorry I can't really help.

It sounds similar to the floating lanterns by WOE.

Is that what you mean?

Oh god, that's a Javascript heavy website. It's impossible to link correctly to any "sub-page", because technically, you never leave the front page.

Click "Air Lanterns" on the left side, under September.

Thank miktiger and kels. I'm not sure that those were them, but I'm not sure that those were not them. Either way...I like them!



I wish I had commented in that thread, so I could get the pic I saw.

Edit:

Okay...look at this pic...ignore the spider lights on the ground.



See the blue glowing orbs? That's what I'm looking for....
I realize those are probably photo-shopped, but those are what this other person had in her pic, but she said she got them in the game, but now I'm starting to think she photo-shopped them in her pic as well...

Hm. Could those be fireflies? I remember a breeder in debug that said "fireflies"

I know what you're talking about. Are they called fireflies though? I thought they were some glowing beetle (although I guess that would be a firefly now wouldn't it? )

I hadn't even thought of that! I have my game open now, but I'm creating a sim. Once I'm done with her, I'm going to check out those "fireflies"!

They could be the willow-whisps thing

Willow whisps? What are those?

Edit: I just looked those up...that's what they are!!! Thank you so much!!! never thought they would be a butterfly.




and now that I know what they are...I found the picture from the officials I originally saw them in:




I'm so excited I know what to look for now!!!!
