Let It Snow!

I love snow globes, ever since I was little (and even though I'm probably far too old for it now), so I thought my Sims should have one, too. With animated snow, of course - it wouldn't be a very fun snow globe if the snow was static, now would it?

Also, if you look at the snow globe at night, you'll see that the light in the windows flickers and glows. (The snowman glows a little, too, because I'm silly that way. )

Edit: By popular demand (well, by Fish Lord demand, anyway ), the snow globe can be found here.

Aww, thanks! It was ridiculously fun to make, especially the little snowman builder.

Your wish is my command - link has been added.

Oh... oh my gosh. There is even a little person building a snowman! The cuteness.... the cuteness is unbearable. *keels over*

(Thank you for sharing!!)

Damn it Nix! This is brilliant... I love it, especially the little dude building the snowman. ♥♥♥ Also the lights in the house at night, reminds me of a snow globe my mum has.

Hee, thank you! The snowman building person was actually a late addition; at first the snowman was the only "person" there, but then I felt the scene was too static without something alive (sort of) in it.

You won't see it unless you zoom in super closely, but he/she is wearing mittens (and a scarf, but that's more obvious). I think that's my favourite part - that, and the snowman's carrot nose.

Edit: Mittens pic has been added to main post, just because.

Awesome such an awesome object!

Thank you, Xander! Who'd have thought this little thing would be such a hit?

(And now I have this urge to make a snow globe with a starship in it... a glowing starship... )

[Michelle]

Oh yeah! With glitter instead of snow, I don't think it snows in space but there's lots of stars. (It could be a star globe) Or what about a meteor shower!

Lalalala, not listening! Not listening! (And I'm not contemplating how the animation would react to an envcube and some shiny-ness, absolutely not...)
