sims with sunburn

[coralark]

anyone have any sims get a sunburn yet? i had my sims lay out all afternoon but didn't get anything, but it was kindof between spring and summer so maybe thats why....she was also wearing a custom made swimsuit so that could be why too.......

i wish our sims could fly kites.....

They can if you own Open For Business. It's one of the toys your sims will make with the toy crafting station thingy.

And as far as sunburn...I'm having too much fun playing the winter seasons! I have had a sim freeze though! That was pretty funny.

[Dreamaa01]

I have had a sim get sunburned. It was funny. He came walking into the house all red and groaning then he fainted. My female sim just continued to cook dinner totally ignoring him lol.

[coralark]

i have open for business so i'll be able to fly kites....yay!!!


lol that's funny....how long did his sunburn last? i'll have a chance to play tonight so i'm going to have to try it again.....i torture my poor sims

[Dreamaa01]

the sunburn lasted maybe a couple of minutes. If you stay in the hot tub for a long amount your sim will become red and if you exercise for a long amount of time they will become red as well.

[coralark]

i didn't know that, i'll have to try it....i made my sims makeout and their temperature went up on their thermometer for a second...that was fun!

[surprised_by_witches]

My sims got all sweaty playing water balloon tag, too, and using a hot tub indoors puts them in the red, temperature wise, as well.

I had a sim get hit by lightning when flying a kite. :D

[sexierjess14]

Oh, I didnt know sims could play with the kites now! I should go try it, and maybe get him struck ;)

[coralark]

that is wild....i would have never discovered that....i usually have my sims come in when it's lightning but maybe i'll keep them out next time with their kites!

[surprised_by_witches]

The weird thing was, it wasn't storming. But she was flying one of the "evil" kites, you know, the ones that don't "take" that have the monster face on a white fuzzy background.

[sexierjess14]

My kite isnt working. My sim picks the kite up and places it back down. New way of flying a kite I suppose :cool:

Does the area needed to fly a kite, be huge and with no objects around?

[surprised_by_witches]

Not huge, but tree-free seems to help.

Im getting frusterated because when i have my sim work out his temperature goes up too fast for him to work out a decent work out

[Jazz]

one of my taller trees got struck by lightning, heres it on fire.

[sexierjess14]

I totally agree with you about the work out. My sim has been gaining weight rapidly because I kept feeding him fishes he caught, and I sent him to the threadmill, and his fitness bar only went up a little and he's overheated!! :mad:

I resolved his fitness by using a program:rolleyes:

[Dreamaa01]

you can do yoga all day and your sim never gets hot... i tested it out myself and i even made the time go super fast and she never got hot...

[person123]

Does the dance sphere also affect the sim's temperature? If you have a pool you can also make the sim swim for a few hours, but it only helps fitness very slowly.

Unlike real life, the Sim has to be over heated to get "sunburned." So, if it's cool outdoors and/or you have them in cooling clothes, they may not get sunburned. (The "sunburned" state seems to be more equated to "heat stroke" than a burn.)

Make sure that your exercise equipment is indoors. If they are outdoors, they are more likely to get overheated. Indoors it's like there is airconditioning so they won't get overheated as fast.

Also, taking as shower seems to put the back in the green if they are either overheated or chilled.

[Jiko]

Oh, I gotta getta Seasons. You guys make it sound zer cool.

Hi, y'all! Been down so long this looks like up to me.

[Mirelly]

Jiko! That eye looks nasty ;). Good to see you around, hope all is well with you. Seasons is definitely the best EP so far. Even with sims bursting into flames here there and everywhere. Yesterday I was going nutso because the environment score in the greenhouse was off the red end of the scale and I had the garden club coming over, bad environment is not good if you want the sniffy-picky garden club to let you in .... It was ages before it occured to me that it was high summer and greenhouses are like ... phew, lemme outa here!

Hope that eye gets better, soon ... :rolleyes:

[Jiko]

Wow, so Seasons affects ambient temperature and comfort levels! Just what I always wished for, really. From the beginning I said, Sims need weather.

All is well enough, been a tough Season for me. Glad to be back.

About to have a birthday, looking for Spring.

[muffin-tacos]

What, exactly, happens when your sims get struck by lightning? :bouncy: and how do they get struck by lightning? (I'm planning very evil things to do to my sims when my PC gets working again *evil smile*) lol.

[surprised_by_witches]

Same as when they repair something electrical and don't have enough mechanical skill -- they go zot and turn all black until they take a shower. If they're low enough in aspiration they die.

You may want to consider toning down your siggie, luv. This is a family site. :rolleyes:

[dangerousgem]

If you workout with the radio it doesn't seem to raise your temperature so fast.
I was playing Uni when one of my pregnant sims was walking past and lightning struck her... I'm just glad she didn't die! I thought they had to be an active sim to get struck, guess I was wrong.:confusion:

[sailorchiiavalon]

I was playing one family and Knut Grundstrom decided to come over to use the hot tub.

A thunder storm began and he got struck by lightening in the hot tub! As he was walking away he got struck again and died! :( I was so sad.

Then I got his nephew to resurrect him and everything was fine :)

I've had a penguin as well coming to talk to the snowman and weeing in front of a sim! :eek:

Sphinxy Bill was feeling love-sick and was chatting up a potential mate during a thunderstorm under the "protection" of a willow tree in Central Park. Unfortunately she got struck by lightning. Luckily she survived and he, being love-sick (and a dumb sim :p ), failed to notice that all her clothes got burned off ... except for her underwear. Likewise, she pretended that nothing had happened, and continued to pretend to be utterly fascinated as Bill explained the ins and outs of junk trading.

Ha! And you thought the Saga of Penn Vale would stay in its own thread! Mwa-ha-ha-ha. Think again. :rotfl::mischievous:

[muffin-tacos]

Hahaha, funny lightning stories everybody!! Luuurving them lol :D

[simgurl84]
