🚨>>> EDIT: File updated, small birds + crow weren't placeable on pool and fountain water surfaces <<<🚨


DISCLAIMER:
Be aware that all these bird vfx will disappear when zooming out too far or leaving the lot.

To 'fix' this problem for the Animated - Bird Bath and Breadcrumbs + Small Birds mod, I've added an On/Off switch to these objects to get them back. Besides that, I've added only flying in and out birds to the Breadcrumbs floor decal as these vfx only disappear when changing lots and not when zooming out too far.

For the Placeable Small Birds mods and the Placeable Crow, I recommend only using them for screenshots and/or videos and deleting them afterwards as it's incredibly difficult to find the small invisible objects back without the vfx playing (Unless you placed them on spots you won't forget, as they're still removeable/replaceable).
---------------

Just like with the former pigeon mods, I've added invisible search tags to these files. So you won't see the "Bakie" search tag in front of the title anymore, but they're still findable when using this search tag in game.
As for the download, I packed all updated mods together in one folder.

For a list of all updates/changes, take a look below.

Catalog:
- They can now be found in the Pond VFX section in build mode.
The Bird Bath + Birds can also still be found in the sculpture section.
- Object's titles have been updated with an invisible 'Bakie' Search-tag in the title.
These items can now also be found by typing bird, birds and their species name into the search bar.
- Object's descriptions have been updated to new format.
- Object Thumbnails have been updated with (Animated) text adjustments.
- Object Thumbnails have been updated with a light green background color. This makes it more clear in the Pond VFX section that this object has to be placed on terrain. It can be used in multiple worlds.
- Price has been changed for better placement in the Pond VFX section.

Placement - Small Birds Pack + Placeable Crow:
- Objects are now placeable on Pond Water Surfaces.
WHY: Despite the fact that these birds aren't water animals, I still enabled the 'placeable on water surfaces' option. The reason for this, is because this makes it easier to raise them to something hanging above the water surface like rocks or branches. It's also easier to place it onto floating things like logs or to rocks or branches sticking out of the water.

- objects are now placeable on slopes, which makes it easier to place it above uneven (pond/ocean) floors.
- Added repeat placement.

Placement - Bird Bath:
- Object is now Placeable through other objects, which makes it placeable in between plants or grasses for example, without using cheats.

Interactions - Bird Bath / Breadcrumbs + Small Birds:
- The Bird Bath and Breadcrumbs floor decal now have an On/Off switch so when the birds disappear, you can use the switch off and switch on interaction to get them back. This works faster/easier then placing a new object as it can be done while in live mode.
- Removed the 'view birds' interactions from the Bird Bath as it didn't worked anymore and I can't seem to fix it.

Other - BreadCrumbs:
- Package name changed FROM BakieGaming-Animated-BreadcrumbsFloorDecal+BirdEffects-NoSnowFix TO BakieGaming-Animated-BreadcrumbsFloorDecal-SmallBirds-1.77
- Object can now be picked up by the entire footprint instead of only by the small breadcrumbs.

DOWNLOAD UPDATED FILES
Don't forget that you can download the updated files here in this post. The public post will not contain the updated files, only the video link.

Be sure to delete the old files before starting your game, otherwise the changes might not be visible. You might also need to delete the "localthumbcache.package" in your TS4 folder if the catalog thumbnails stay the same.
