Numenor, I downloaded this and put it in my game. Looks beautiful and I want to thank you for making it available to all of us. The only thing I've noticed that doesn't seem to work is the rainbow, but who cares.

Wow I love this it is sad why Maxis disables some of the cool stuff in a hidden object but am glad you are here to fix that wow nice. By the way how can I make my waters refective in my game in the neighborhood. I have reflection on and dose not show relective at all. Is there another way I can make this happen? Thank you!

I was just wondering is it possible to get the flying birds from Nieghboorhood to live mode. As I read that the swans were too low poly count but I zoomed quite close to the birds and they looked good.
I tried finding the file myself but I have no idea where to look

You remember well: the birds, the swans and many other NH objects have too simple meshes to be ported to live mode.

Ah but would it be posible for me to make the birds meshes then get the right animation files from those birds in neighborhood and then make them buyable?

Nope. The animation visible in the NH will not work anyway in live mode. As far as I know.

Ah well it was worth a try. Is there anyone that can make their own animation files. I could take a moving object and change it so the animation vertices where still there only then somebody could change the animation files.

I determined to get birds for live mode but when I get them no doubt i'll be annoyed with them after a week but besides that.

It works great! Yet, the stream is choppy looking. Anyway, I was wondering if you knew whether or not in Nightlife this would show up when we can see neighborhood objects from our lots?

I didn't even know that in the Nightlife it will be able to see the NH effects from the lots I can't answer to your question, sorry, I wish I was Maxoid Numenor, but I'm not... :D

Songberd, as you know I put a great effort in all my creations, and I give them for free to all the users.
The least you can do is to put a little effort in following these instructions, and finally be able to manage rar archives:

How do I install this .rar custom content?

If you are not allowed to download WinRAR (and I absolutely can't understand why), then visit this site:
http://www.7-zip.org/

It's free, easy to use and safe to install.

Pilot - or go to snapfiles and download Zipgenius. It can zip and unzip .zip, .rar, and many other types of compressed files. I've used this for awhile and haven't had any problems.

This is really awesome and I have been enjoying it in my game for some time now. I was wondering if it was possible to change the color of the stream? I made a volcano neighborhood and it would be really cool to have a red waterfall to look like lava. Once again thanks for finding this in the first place

It would be cool, I agree; but I don't think it's possible to chenge the colour of the stream: it's not an "object", there isn't a mesh to recolour.
