This mod requires Mono Patcher!!

In sims 3, the graves show their cause of death. However, the poor watery grave death didn't have a special one... It simply didn't have a reference in code, so it used the default one(which is fire).

I wanted to work on this from long ago but I failed, due to it was behind UpdateMaterialState() method. After Monopatcher's release, I was so happy and I restarted to work on this.

What does this mod do:
This mod edited the water grave plaques of all six graves in the game (present+future ver.). Addtionally, it fixes the dehydration & Shark death that's missing plaque for the future ver.

This mod will affect existing saves; Terry Moldano's grave from starlight shores will be changed.

The color for the graves was unchanged(Old Age edition).

Edited Method & Resource:
Method: Sims3.Gameplay.Objects.Urnstone.UpdateMaterialState()
Resource: MLOD of UrnstoneHuman, UrnstoneHumanPoor, UrnstoneHumanWealth, UrnstoneFutureModerate, UrnstoneFuturePoor, UrnstoneFutureWealth

The icon:

The icon I used is Plaque Death By Watery Grave From Sims 3 by Feri4ndy. The description seems to indicate there's somewhere in game file, but I couldn't find it. So I used this icon as a base.

I recolored it, and pasted on a plaque from another death type. To fix the parts that couldn't overlap, I cut some textures from other plaques and pasted it around. I hope it wasn't too noticeable (it's low quality like the ones pre-island paradise).

You can replace your own version by replacing the tombstonePlackWateryGrave IMG in the package.

Big thanks to This tutorial by zoe22 to add materials to objects!

Side note: Despite having different style of ghost and considered different type of death, drowning and running out of air shares the same plaque, this is intended behavior.
