Thinking with Portals...

[Darthreven77]

I just recently had an idea on how to make portals like those in the game Portal. If the portal itself was a painting (idk how else to do it, perhaps it could be spawned somehow on command) and using the animation that ghosts use as they dive into the netherworld & using the dive well stuff have the sim can exit through another portal with the animation of exiting the time machine (the one were he is pulling against a vacuum maybe). idk how hard it would be since I have no prior modding expieriance.

I know how the dive wells work. I mean that it would be cool to have a portal themed item that could be used (it would also be nice to have the exit one portal as they enter another)...

Are you considering implementing this yourself? If so I can move it to the Modding Discussion forum for you under Create, where you'll get more useful feedback :)

I can tell you that it would not be a trivial project... you'd have to be able to deal with object modding, scripting, and probably also meshing and animation unless you can adapt existing resources. You'll find tutorials here: http://www.modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Sims_3:Modding

I'm sure it is perfectly doable though, if you're committed :)

For years we've been trying to get doors (or even rugs) to use the uber aspect of the dive wells, so that you can walk through one door and out through the other on another lot.
It will surely happen one day, but until then we will have to use stop-gap methods unfortunately.

A mod like this would be great. It would be nice to use doors in the same manner that dive wells and uber dive wells are. This could be used to make some interesting connections between various tombs. I kid you not.
