...beggars would ride underwater and drown? Or perhaps swim? You will get both the very best in crustacean philosophy and interior design when you hang these seahorses on your wall!

There are two meshes, If Wishes Were Seahorses (the momma seahorse), and If Wishes Were Seahorses, Junior (the baby seahorse). You can mix and match them in any way you like. While they come with four preset variations, they are fully recolorable, with one color channel.


They are a natural for the little Simlet’s room, yet they work equally well in the bathroom or kitchen or any other room that needs a marine touch.

No expansion or stuff packs are needed. Both meshes were play tested on a base game fully patched to 1.36, and on a game full of expansions and stuff packs using 1.36. They might work on other levels, but there are no guarantees.

Note: No matter what I did, I was unable to get the shadows I created to appear on the walls, though they were fully visible in Milkshape and in TSRW. Possibly, there is a bug at work here, but that won’t affect your game. You just won’t see my beautiful shadows.
I love thanks and welcome comments, and of course, please report any problems you have here in this thread so that my knuckle-dragging gopher Norton can fix them.

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
