Heyla and well met!

I had recently downloaded an object called Eric's Sim Effects, which can be found at the following web site (you need to register in order to view the page):

http://www.simscave.com/index.php?topic=7430.0

After playing around with the object, I discovered that the special effects that the object creates only last for a few moments. However, for a series I'm thinking about filming, I need the effects to remain indefinitely, lasting until I decide to manually turn them off. That being said, I have a few questions about modding this object to better suit my purposes:

1. Is it even possible to modify this object so that the effects last indefinitely?

2. What specific tutorials will I need to study in order to make these modifications?

I have actually tried playing around with the object with SimPE on my own, trying to apply some of the information in some of the tutorials I found, here, to this particular object, but I'm afraid my knowledge is simply to little to know exactly what tutorials I need to make the necessary changes to this object. (Yes, I did read the special effects tutorial, but Sim Effects seems much more complicated than what the tutorial covers.)

Anyhow, thank you for your help!

With the blue aura u get from the elixer of life, instead of using that object just drink it and make ur sims go to bed right after drinking it. This will cause the effect to stay. I will say i use that effect download to and i have had a few of the effects stick but its random sometimes they stay sometimes they dont try doing it when or after using a objects or making the sleep. Hope this helps u out. :up:
