Updated 4th of June '25
For both objects: Fixed a problem with the texture and shadows.
For the default override: Fixed making it placeable near all other objects.
====================================
Water Lilies in Bloom - Fishing Spot
When you want the ability to catch fish in your pond, you need to add a fish sign. As I don't like these fish signs, I decided to use a natural looking object to make ponds into fishing spots.
For the object, I choose the Water Lilies in Bloom object which comes with the Base Game, though this isn't an override but an object on it's own.
Start Fishing
To make your pond into a fishing spot, simply place the Water Lilies anywhere on your pond.
As this object is pre-stocked with fish, all you have to do is click some where on the water surface to get the "Go Fishing", "Go Fishing Together" and "Fish with Bait" options.
Manage Fish in Pond
Simply click the object itself to manage the fish in your pond. By default you can choose to fish on Bass, Minnow and Perch. You can select or deselect whatever it is you want to catch.
For more fish species, you have to catch them first elsewhere so they appear in your Sim's inventory. They will then be automatically added to the Manage Fish menu, where you can select them.
Animal VFX
This object will spawn automatically both fish underneath as frogs on top of the lily pads. These vfx will loop for an infinite time.
Placement
The Water Lilies Fishing Spot can be placed both in ponds as well as in oceans.
As with a whole bunch of my former mods, these objects can be placed very close to pond edges without starting to float in mid-air.
They can also be placed right through/near other object without having to use the 'MoveObject On' cheat.
Additional Recolors
Where the original object only has one color option, for this one I'v added 4 more.
Two of them are pink, one is more white and one more yellow.
-------------------------------------------
Water Lilies in Bloom - Override
I also have an override of the original object included, which will add the same 4 additional recolors to the object as the Fishing Spot object has.
