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.

Here's wishing the happiest birthday to a very dear and Darling friend, admired storyteller, and all-around beautiful person! I hope you have a wonderful day, my dear! All my love, hugs, and best wishes!

It’s a lipstick that has no specular mapping at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

YAY! Thank you for giving me permission to convert them!

I hope it was helpful!

Sometimes EAxis just moves the texture oh so slightly different, but that’s easy enough to adjust in the texture coordinator editor.

(This is definitely not the Trick-or-Treat image I had planned for this week, but I guess it does involve a trick, and hopefully is a treat to someone...?)

AW! Don't be nervous! Your comments always make me smile or chuckle! I followed you because I love Felix, too, and your urban fantasy story is excellent!

We all have this fantastic hobby and use it to tell stories, show amazing outfits, share our challenges, etc., and I love seeing what everybody else has to offer. I think as a community, we're better and stronger when we lift each other up.
