Thanked!
This is an override for the Possibly Lethal Water Cactus included in the Spooky collection from The Sims 2 Store. Maxis messed up this object big time. The name and description suggest that it should be a water plant, like the cattails or water lilies. When placed on land, most of the roots clip underground where you can't even see them. Looking at the asset filenames confirm it should have been a water plant, but Maxis accidentally gave it the functionality of a floor plant instead.
This fix properly converts this object into a water plant, and recategorises it to the flowers section of Build Mode, alongside all the other water plants. It can now only be placed on pond water, unless you use the MoveObjects cheat (so you can still place it on land if you wish) and will now properly sit on top of the water. In line with the other water plants, this object can no longer be set for sale in a business, nor does it have an Environment rating.
Requirements:
The Possibly Lethal Water Cactus from The Sims 2 Store is required in order to use this fix. This mod only includes the minimum necessary files to override the object's functionality and contains no assets.
Installation:
To install, place the file included in the archive to the same location where you have this object installed. Alternatively, you can place it in your Downloads folder, but this will mark the object as custom content in-game.
