I have put a couple numbers through my post so you can more easily tell me where I went wrong
1So I cloned the koi and changed the skin. Here is the cloned koi:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is the model instance you mean AC084197F8CB314
?
2Cloned the koi fishingspot_swim VFX. my new VFX is called
my_s40_fishingspotfish_swim_koi
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hit edit. Saw 3 particle effects
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the first particle effect has an IID that is just numbers. I didn't know what to put there so I left it unchanged
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
second particle effect has no IID at all. I left it unchanged
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3third particle effect has an IID:
D9F112E80E2B343D
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I changed it to the Instance I got from my new cloned koi: AC084197F8CB314
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I saved the VFX using the VFX editor
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I clicked "merge" and selected "my_s40_fishingspotfish_swim_koi" I did not select any other files. Only that one.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I pressed enter and got a new dialogue window. I kept the name My_VFX and clicked Save
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in S4S, I created a new tuning package for koi. The TuningID is 76082
Which is the normal ID for koi
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's where I think I went wrongI changed every word koi to My_VFX
because I wasn't clear what you meant for me to put into the custom tuning file
edit: I replaced
s40_fishingspotfish_swim_koi
with
my_s40_fishingspotfish_swim_koi
and got the same result.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7Put everything in the mods folder
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Result: Koi are now invisible in fishing spots, aquariums, and bowls
So unfortunately I think I did something wrong
