Waterfall and river do not show up in my game. The other lost and founds do but not this.

Don't they show up in the catalog or in the game? If they are in the catalo, when you place them on the ground they will look like plain rocks: you have to wait a little (up to 2 minutes) to let the game create the water flow.
Check if you have the details set to high.

If nothing works (setting to high details and waiting 2 minutes), maybe your graphic card can't render it...

These are beautiful, but then I think waterfalls are awesome anyway. I hope they will work in my game. My video card is integrated, but seems to do ok. I will let you know, as soon as I get a chance to try them. Thank you so much for these.

Ahhh... I LOVE waterfalls... but I have a disturbing feeling this won't work on my "barely meets minimum performance requirements" computer. I'm going to download it and give it a try anyway... Great find!

Maybe Maxis has started doing some of this on purpose just to see if foks WILL find them...

But thanks for doing so...
Like someone else mentioned, I'd love to be able to use this on an individual lot!(hint, hint, nudge, nudge)

Thanks a bunch! I downloaded the Garden of Edan and for some reason the waterfall didn't show up but someone sent me a message saying that you have found the waterfall and river and had it for download. One question though, could you make that a zip. file, please? If you do, please e-mail me so I know.
Thankies! :elephant: :clap: :yippee: :dsausage:

Gilliansl: LOL, your theory may be correct! As for an individual lot version, I absolutely have no clue how to do it, or eve if it's possible: the waterfalls are not "objects", with a 3D mesh; are just a graphic effect, probably limited to neighborhood view.

Lost_Sorrow: no ZIP, sorry; haven't you noticed how many problems has recently experienced the download server? We can't make the problem worse by duplicating all the attachments. But follow the link next to each RAR: all you need to know in order to open a rar is there.

Sometimes the Downloads go offline. Try again later on.

I find some of the what the expert modders here at this site take the time to do to be amazing. There seem to be a select group of major-time modders here, numenor amongst them. To all of you I bow. Awesome find.

Is the glass half empty or half full? Who cares when the glass is broken.

Nutty, the downloads come and go... You have been unlucky to try in the moment they were off. Anyway, now they are working.
