Hello all,

I didn't had the time I hoped for today, to work on all things mentioned in yesterday's post. So today only a bunch of screenshots I made from almost all updated jungle mods and a bit more info about a few of them. The updated files will probably follow tomorrow for my $3 Patrons and in the weekend for all others.

As for all animal mods count that they got the textual updates and the category changed from Decoration Misc to Pond VFX. They also recieved a jungle-green background color and a price of 8 Simoleons so they can all be found right next to each other.

Channel Billed Toucan
So to start with the toucan, as the boat that you get when downloading my updated Swamp Pack has now deco slots attached to it, it's very simple to place a toucan or other animals on top of it. Placing one on the tropical vines hanging above the water takes more time though. Before the update, the object would start on the bottom of the pond with the MOO cheat enabled and it would take quite some time to raise it to the desired height. Now with the option for almost all terrain animals to be placed on top of the water surface, it takes less time for them to get to the desired height.

Macaws
I've done the same with the Red-and-Green Macaw which I placed on the statue in the middle of the pond. Besides the Red-and-Green Macaw, also the Blue-and-Yellow macaw has been updated. This counts for the ones sitting still as well as the ones that fly-in and after some time fly-away again.

Iguanas
All iguanas also recieved the same update as the former animals did. On the screenshots, the blue and green one are placed manually by raising the objects, the orange one is placed onto a deco slot.

Snakes
The Milk Snake and Python didn't recieved this "Placeable on water surfaces" update, as they will crawl away from the invisible object. And it doesn't really makes sense to raise those up in the air.

**Maybe if I DO make them placeable on water surfaces, I can find out how much they need to be lowered using TwistedMexi's TOOL mod, to make it look as if they swim...🤔🧐.**

Something else I DID update is the size of the object/footprint. Before the update, these items were only 1/4 tile, which made it hard sometimes to find them back after placement as the animals crawls away from it.
To make this a bit easier, I enlarged the object, so it now measures 2x2 tiles.

Butterflies
All 3 jungle butterflies have been updated. On the screenshot after the one with the python, only the postman butterflies are visible, but if you take a closer look at the last screenshot, you might also see the two other species near the crashed airplane.

Crashed Airplane + Welcome Sign
Both the Crashed Airplane that comes with the iguanas as well as the Welcome Sign that comes with the toucan have been updated so they can now be found in game by searching with the 'Bakie' search tag.
I've also fixed the swatch order for the airplane when using the -+ symbols right before placement, as they all got a bit scrambled. I've also restored the sunlight shadow for it.

Jungle Scene Overview
On the overview almost all updated mods are visible. With these mods, making more realistic looking jungles becomes a lot easier! I'm very looking forward to use these with Twisted Mexi's CAW to make a new Jungle world too! :)

Tomorrow I hope to be able to share the updated files. If you've read this entire post, there's probably no need to read all updates/changes in my next post.
