Details
"Love is in the air...
Everywhere I look around...
Love is in the air...
Every sight and every sound..."
With this Valentine's snow machine you can fill the air with love by means of a dense "snow" of red, pink and orange hearts, slowly whirling from the sky like big snow flakes! Surprize your girl of boy friend with this spectacular and very clear message of love :-)
NOTE: DON"T UNPACK THE BOX, THE BOX *IS* THE SNOW MACHINE.
You can very easily let it "snow" over an arbitrary large piece of land, without the need to place many "snow" generators in the sky manually. This machine does it all for you automatically... One satisfied customer used the white snow version of this machine to cover a complete sim :-)
Features
- easy menu operation: just touch it for a self-explanatory menu
- easy to start and stop
- snow can be set to light, medium or heavy
- length and width of area to be covered can be set in increments of 10 m
- automatically rezzes enough snow generators in the sky to cover the whole area
- each snow generator covers (roughly) a 10x10 m square
- configurable height of snow generators: 10, 15 or 20m
- efficient particle use
- snow generators are automatically deleted if snow machine is removed
Prim usage
- 1 prim for the snow machine
- 1 prim for each 10x10 meter to be covered
Limitations
- the total number of particles you can see is limited. If there are a lot of other particle generators around (smoking chimneys, fire, fog etc), then the snow might not be as thick and even as intended.
- snow particles have a limited lifetime. If you place the machine on top of a tower, then the flakes might not make it all the way to the ground.
- one machine can only cover a rectangular area. If you want to cover, for instance, an L-shaped land, use multiple machines, each covering a rectangle.
- the covered rectangle is always aligned with North-South, East-West lines.
- the covered rectangle can not be rotated over arbitrary angles.
- works only within a single sim
- snow doesn't stop at the roof, so it will snow inside your house too :-) As a work-around, you can use multiple snow machines, each covering a rectangular piece of land *outside* your house.
How to use
- Place the snow machine in the center of the area to be covered
- The default coverage is 20x20 meter. To change the size, touch the machine, click the X-size and/or Y-size buttons to call up the X-size or Y-size menus. The size can be changed in 10, 20 or 50 meter increments.
- Select the type of snow you want: Light, Medium or Heavy
- Click Start button to start, Stop button to stop.
- Wait about 10 seconds for the first snow flakes to reach the ground
- If desired, you can change the height of the snow generators.
- If you later change the size of the covered area, you must stop and
start the snow
- If you move the snow generator after starting the snow, the snow generators in the sky do *not* move with the box. You can use this feature to hide the box after starting (but do not delete it, you need the box to keep the generators alive!)
Nice to know
- If one or more snow generators unintentionally end up in another sim, they will die after approx a minute
- The constellation of snow generators is always positioned such that the snow machine box is exactly in the center. After starting the snow, you can move the box to any more convenient location, bury it in the ground or make it invisible
- If you use multiple snow generators, each box controls its own generators. No interference occurs between multiple snow machines.
