Small Waterwheel
A sneak peek on the final waterwheel of this pack, the Cottage Living Small Waterwheel. As can be seen in the image above, I already made it placeable on water surfaces. I've also made it able to produce power, just like the others and changed it's footprint so Sims will swim around the object instead of straight through it. This version can be used with (short) walls on one side or both sides or platforms.
Top Water Splashes
When you take a closer look at the VFX of the waterwheel, you will notice water splashing on top of the waterwheel too. This is because this waterwheel is a so called 'overshot' type of waterwheel. Water falls just behind the axle on top of the waterwheel. Because of this weight, the wheel starts rotating.
As I can't remove this single vfx as it's all part of one vfx code, you will have to add some sort of water flow to the top of the waterwheel. I think though that the water vfx falling from the wooden gutter has to be some where in the vfx list too..
To do next
- Make a custom thumbnail for the version showed above
- Search for the wooden gutter water vfx and see if it's useable on it's own or what I should do with it.
- Make a new small waterwheel object with support added. As it's a slightly different color then the large waterwheel, I probably need to make a few new (wooden) recolors too.
More updates on the above will follow!
