Hello all,

I've got some good and bad news about the waterfall and it's interactions.

Bad News
Let's start with the bad news. After spending hours yesterday on making all kind of custom things, like interaction texts, interaction icons, interaction queue icons and buff texts and icons... the problem came when linking these new custom interactions to the object.
Because after I did, the interactions (and animations) would play on the spot the Sims were standing at that moment instead of underneath the waterfall.  😩

Multiple hours later that day, I still didn't know how to fix this, so I will have to cancel this part of the mod as asking for help didn't brought me any luck either.

Good News
The good part though, I can still use all of the interactions if I don't change anything on them. An advantage of this would be that everyone will have them in their own language.
As I like the interactions to much as they really add something nice to the waterfall, I will use the original interactions.
The Gather Water interaction will remain a custom one, so you might see all interactions in your own language except from the gather water interaction as that one didn't had any problems and also makes the original interaction better in the case of my waterfall. (You won't have this 'problem' in an English/American game of course)

Additional Interactions
Now about those additional interactions, the following will be available:
- Shower in swimwear
- Shower Nude
- Play in (waterfall)
- Play with (in waterfall)

I will share some more info about these interactions with example screenshots or video  later.

Woohoo Interaction
There's one more, the Woohoo interaction, but I might make it into a separate mod as this one still got a problem despite using the original interaction. What happens when activating it, is that the entire waterfall effect, will move to the side which looks incredibly weird.  😆
It's like you're making love to your partner and the bed suddenly moves 3 meters away from you... you don't want that to happen.
If I make it into a separate object, you can place it where ever you want in a waterfall and I expect that it won't move effects from other objects. This mod will then be released later.

To-Do now
What I will try to do today is finish the terrain version with it's interactions and make a version which can be placed on water surfaces and terrain, but won't have any interactions attached to it.

I also hope to have some time to show the additional interactions a bit better. If I have enough time I might make a video and otherwise you will get some screenshots of it.

Next week I won't have much time to work on the mod and video but I hope it's enough to finish the entire thing. New updates after today won't be here until next wendnesday probably.

Thanks for the insight on how it all works. It's a shame, however it's nice that the effort did not all go to waste. You got this!
