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.

Tea Towel Accessory for Victorian Range

Just a quick post today!

You may have noticed a hanging towel in my previous post - this is by Felixandre, and actually didn't fit on the bar on the oven very well.

SO, I have modified it so that it fits, and I've made recolours for you!

There's 12 swatches:

Two different versions - a bigger and a smaller version.

Make sure you have the move objects on cheat loaded, then hold down the alt key once you've grabbed the towel - this way you can arrange it into the right place on the oven!!

"Grande Opulence" - Fireplace

Well, I've done it again, folks!!! I've made another fireplace!

This time, I didn't try to convert a 3D model - so it was a lot easier and less stressful for me 🙃

This fireplace is GRAND and OPULENT. It has columns! It has a pediment! It has finials!

I've created two marble, and two wood swatches:

Even though there's decoration at the top - I have included some slots, if you want to add some candles or other bits-and-bobs on the mantle.

It was really fun to make! My next idea is ornate wood carving, but I haven't quite figured out how I'll achieve it 🤔

Anyway, I hope you like the Grande Opulence Fireplace -

Dagda's Cauldron - functional

@vintagesimstress converted this cauldron as a deco item for The Sims 4 a little while ago. I loved it at first sight!

Finally, I have the knowledge to convert it to a functioning cauldron for Realm of Magic!!!

I really wanted to maintain the original size of the cauldron, but unfortunately EAs animations were very restrictive, and I was forced to make it shorter and wider. FORTUNATELY, it still looks great!

Look at these details!

I hope you and your spellcasters love this new addition! Download from my Patreon here!

Please also download VintageSimstress' deco version as well, because it's too beautiful not to keep as a decoration!

(not required, but RoM is required for the functional one)
