Functioning Water Fountain
Quite a while ago, when looking for stuff for my High School, I found a functioning water fountain, but it was modern. Where I live - at least when I was a child - we didn't have the American style fountains in school, which have a big sink - instead we only had outdoor fountains that you'd press a button and it would just flow out to the world - you'd have to stand back and lean to drink it.
Recently, however, I found that @whyhellosims had released some deco fountains, which included this 'Vintage Park Fountain', and I decided it would be my new school fountain!!!
So I did some playing around in tunings, and bones (or cones or slots? or whatever you call them haha), to try and see if I could make the fountain function - and sims can get water from it.
I was as successful as I think I could be, with my limited capabilities 😂
Unfortunately, there's no existing animation for sims to press the button and lean forward to take a drink; instead, to 'Get Water', a tap is turned on, and the sim puts out a glass to collect, then drink the water.
I tried the best I could to arrange things where the water looks like it's spouting upwards; the sim then puts their glass magically through the fountain to collect the water 😭(I honestly can't think of how else to arrange it so that this doesn't happen). The EA animation itself is supposed to have a tap at the top, and the water going downwards - which is why it looks like this.
There's 8 swatches, four clean (indoor?), and four dirty/oxidised (outdoor?) colours - all original from WHS.
lol at my not quite historically accurate High School; I think we can use our imaginations a bit, because there wasn't really a "High School", at this period. Maybe a finishing school or other colleges; otherwise the rich might have an at-home tutor, or a boarding school situation maybe? I actually don't know why I put vending machines there 🤔 but there's several "modern" looking things in my High School, to fit the requirements for the lot and daily tasks, I don't edit it very often at all.
This is base game compatible, does require a water supply, and can be found in the Sinks category.
