Deja Vu - chocolate fountain

Last night I was fooling around with Romanza making a HS wedding chapel and griped to my sweet husband that it was too bad there wasn't a real chocolate fountain in the game. I said, "This one is really pretty, but it's just decorative. It'd be so much more fun if it were really usable."

And now I see the Cirque set.

I'm very excited about this set for more than just the fountain though! This set takes my breath away, it's so beautifully done. Whoever is responsible for this set deserves a pat on the back and a flammable liquid treat of his/her choice.

    I thought there was a chocolate fountain... :? http://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:22715&categoryId=11509&scategoryId=11531&pcategoryId=11525

    Hmm... I guess the new one is actually REAL. Whoops.

    I wonder if it would be possible to make the old fountain functional too? I don't think the store would do it, but if it is possible could a modder do it?
    (I imagine if it is possible you would have to own the new fountain too)

    Actually the old fountain is just a statue and has no kind of animation, so I would say no, it wouldn't really work even if you had the fountain as you can not make a solid object flow - at most it would distort I would think even trying to apply such animation to it - besides there is the copyright laws to consider - and EA may not look kindly on that kind of infringing. Would you really want to buck up against a multi billion dollar company to use their animation in a statue anyway. I don't think modders would be that dumb.

    As long as you didn't use the actual art EA used, and drew your own fountain, I reckon you could do whatever you wanted mod-wise. It's not like there are a thousand different kinds of chocolate fountain--they all seem like they look about alike to me. :)

    It was such a shame the original Romanza one was purely a statue, but it's still very pretty--I used it and the new one in a wedding lot I just did.

    My Sweet Treats candy shop is almost complete. I love how we have the ice cream maker, fryer, and now the chocolate fountain.

    Now if we could get vending machines or a cotton candy item... that would be amazing.

    I would really like a popcorn cart like we have in Sims 1, too.
