iting effects and animation on a custom water bowlSo I managed to create a water bowl for pets by cloning it from a fountain. I also managed to get rid off the sprinkler effect from the fountain but the water still moves a lot in the bowl and I don't know I can change that somehow? Also it would be greate if this object would be functional so I extracted the tuning from the pet bowl and it works. Just the effects while filling a bowl and when a pet 'eats' from the bowl look strange plus there are also sound effects that are annoying. Is there any way I can edit the animations to get rid off/replace these effects or replace the textures of the pet food that get's fill in.

Hi ChippedSim, First of all, the bowl looks very good! About the movement of the water, I think this can also be the work of the shader. To fins which shader it's using right now, take a look at this tutorial: How to find an object's shader data in StudioAbout the effects that look strange, is it that they appear not in the middle of the bowl or something? If that's the case I think you need to change some slots in the Rig/Slots tab in Studio if that's possible.. It can be that the sounds are part of the effect and there fore can't be removed. But there should be other ways for sounds to get attached too, but I don't know anything about that.  Hope you will solve your problems eventually. |

Hey Bakie Thank you for your help. I will take a look in to the shader thing and will try to figure out the water movement. So it will at least look good as a clutter object if I can't fix the animation. I just saw that strangely the second and third GIF are not playing correctly so it's hard to see what I meant  I will try to post them again. My problem is the animations work correctly and fit but if a pet 'eats' from the bowl food particles fly around and if sims fill the bowl they pour in pet food instead of water. So I wanted to know if I can change at least the texture of these effects or get rid off them so it will look more realistic. Maybe if I know where I can find the files for the animation I can find things relating to the sound effects too! I can't get the other GIF to work correctly but this what I mean for example:  And a picture of a sim filling the bowl:  |

Unfortunately at this moment, we aren't able to change the textures of effects in game. To change the animation or delete parts you need to make a custom tuning. The only one I know of right now who might knows how to help with the tuning in combination with animations and even probably with sounds is necrodog |

Hey necrodog Thank you for your help! Here is the link for the water bowl: WaterbowlI cloned it from a BG fountain and extracted the pet bowl tuning and added it to the file. Does anybody know if I can add geostates to the bowl? I know the original bowl has the them but if I clone it from that object I don't have the water shader |

awww! i loved the water movement ...so realistic. lol but it still came out nicely
but I would suggest using the geostates of maybe a fish bowl. or a planter bowl. they should be the same size..and u should be able to keep the shader? hopefully?
& if u wanted to change the sim pouring pet food animation effect , you could tune it with the running water from kitchen sink effect for that ..
& for the pet eating effect , maybe you can tune the toddler splashing bath water to it instead of kibbles..
edit: MAYBE USE THE TOILET . dogs drink from the toilet so they do have little splashing effects but i dont recommend use the geos for that u dont want sims trying to pee in pet bowls
im new at modding , but hope this helps

The toilet is a nice idea I think these animation would fit but I would need to figure out a way to create a new interaction maybe cloned from the pet eating animation that uses the drinking from the toilet animation instead if something like this is possible ?

hi, I'm no help but I'd just like to say that I LOVE the waterbowl with the water moving--it really sells that it's water more than the static water. <3 this is a very nice item!
