Aquaria (Part Three of Three) [Bits & Bobs]

Link:SFS [Folder]     

Now that the game has been ‘fixed’ enough that I can stand to enter it for any amount of time, I am FINALLY releasing the remaining parts of my Aquaria Set. I had wanted to include some screenshots of the UI options, but I guess that little detail missed this patch - Oh Well…

Included in this post are the tabletop aquariums that I had done right before the release of Cats & Dogs, as well as the aquarium tables that I made as Base Game alternatives for the one released with MFPS. Those have two different versions - one similar to the MFPS one, with pre-set collections of fish (Custom Tuning), and another that has 11 slots inside with accompanying small 'fishbowl’ rocks that one places inside of the table to be able to place the fish of your choice (No Custom Tuning), as well as both having a full set of slots on top of the table to work with (9 Large & 16 Medium slots). They are both available with 25 swatches - 5 different edges (black, white, dark brown, light brown and 'red lacquer’) as well as having differing choices of interiors (5 each). Place the small rocks for the interior before trying to decorate the tops, as if there is an open slot inside the tank from an un-placed rock slot, the game will want to place any small-slotted item inside.

There are two variations of the Base Game 'extra’ fishbowls, with some of the interior 'clutter’ removed and re-colored. They also stack, as well as the coffee tables, just in case you want to conserve space while trying to complete the Fishing aspiration with its requirement of mounting or bowling fish.

I took the EP01 Lab Tube, widened it, and added two extra slots into the interior, that has an accompanying tiny geode to use for the 'aquarium’ part of it (EP01 required for both). I didn’t worry (read: bother) with making an interior water effect for the tube itself. Shown above with the three geodes fully stocked.

Lastly, to round out the release, are some select items from Sulani’s seas for larger aquaria. All base game compatible, I took one of the coral reefs and re-sized it to what I felt looked right for this purpose, then added 10 slots onto it for placement of the additional items that act as aquariums. Those are (as shown above): a coral branch, a sponge lump, the sponge tubes, and the starfish all with 5 swatches each. They act as regular aquariums when clicked on - just choose 'Open’ to begin adding the fish of your choice. Each holds 6 fish, and as with the previous Aquaria rocks, all are somewhat varied with the placement of the fish for maximum 'random’ effect. (It is Best to be 'inside’ of the Aquaria to be able to use the options for fish placement) (there’s also a wall starfish as a bonus)

I may at some 'near’ date release some of my variations of Default Replacement fishing spot signs and some new ponds for lots. Maybe…
