I am playing in Appaloosa Plains; can I Sim port from there?

OK, I found the 2 buildings in edit town finally! But the question is, how do I put them into the community lot? One of my empty community lot is size 50 x 50 and when I try to place a copy of a building there, I could not! Also, how do I spawn fireflies?

 

Check the size of the buildings verus the size of the lot. If it's not the same, it won't work. Go looking for lots of the right size, whether they have houses on them or not - bulldoze them, convert them to community lots of the right type, and place the buildings. The types in community lots is at the bottom, remember to match them up.

And I don't know how to spawn fireflies. The game has been out for a day and a half. I doubt anyone knows how to spawn fireflies. Give it time. Until then, take a deep breath, and relax, not having fireflies isn't the end of the world.

Yes, it finally worked! Thanks my friend! The reason why I could not place the building in my lot initially is that I changed the terrain!

Now, it is time for the spawning of fireflies. I really like Appaloosa Plains and don't wish to play my Sim in Starlight Shores. Also, I am attempting to create a perfect Sim where all of the skills and traits of my Sim is maximized. The reason I am being particular of the fireflies is because my Sim has a perfect collection record and collecting fireflies is the last frontier. I guess I have to concentrate on other skills before collecting fireflies.

Over at the Sims 3 forum, someone mentioned about the fog emitter in buydebug. Does anyone have any clue in where to find it on buydebug? It apparently spawns fireflies.

If so, can you please be more specific in which spawner the fireflies are added into?

Unfortunately I can't be.  I don't know for sure that they were added to another spawner, but if you think about it this would be an easy way to "grandfather" them into the other towns.

The fog emitter is strictly a special effects generator, and any insects that are generated are just effects.  If you're just looking for the effects, keep in mind that you're going to need the code to produce it.

I'm not in the game right now, so I can't tell you for sure, but I believe it's in the first tab.  It's a sphere and looks virtually identical to all the apartment markers and the hidden room marker from WA, except that it's a cyan color.  It's the only one that's a different color...that much I can tell you.

Edit:  According to your other thread in the General forum, fireflies share spawners with butterflies, which means they'll be in all existing towns already.

I'm also going to point out that this thread started out discussing setting up a town for SimPort, and is now discussing fireflies.  Please, we need to do our best to keep threads on topic.

OK, sorry about being off-topic. So I should start a thread just for fireflies?

Lol, you've already got one.  Check my link. 

I considered moving it here, but I decided that it would be best left it in general because it's more related to the 1.31 patch than it is to Showtime.  If another moderator deems otherwise, though, I would not be offended if it was relocated.

OK, thanks! Now only I saw that! I forgot about it!
