Hello all,

Finally found some time to work on the waterwheel again. This sneak peek is all about the extra vfx I've added to the GT waterwheel, so it looks better when placed on the water surface.

Default VFX
When looking at the first screenshot, you will see how the waterwheel looked with it's default vfx. Like can be seen, there was only some water falling off of the waterwheel, but no vfx  of where the falling water hits the water surface or other vfx around the waterwheel where the waterwheel itself hits the water.

Extra VFX
The other screenshots show how it looks now, both on the front side (where the water falls down) as on the back side of the waterwheel. To start with the front side, I've not only added an effect of splashing water for the water falling down, but also a water ripple effect where the waterwheel hits the water surface. This last effect is the same effect as can be seen with the Cottage Living waterwheels by default.
For the back of the waterwheel I choose another effect which shows the water moving. Originally, this effect can be seen around inflatable water floating beds in game.

Recolor Concrete Support
Ree Barkla commented under one of my other posts, if the concrete support could get recolored into something like wood or bamboo, but the way the object is UV-mapped right now, doesn't makes that possible unfortunately.
Luckely I have some good contacts within the Sims 4 community, so I've contacted Icemunmun to ask her if she could help me out with this. Long story short: she's helping me by creating a new UV-map which should be easier to recolor. More about that later!
