The first one is an Axle-hole replacement. You can also use shorts walls or platforms for that.Įxtra Objects Besides the waterwheels, this pack also comes with 3 extra objects. If you want to squeeze them in between 2 walls, that’s possible too though. If they don’t, the waterwheel might look bad or can’t be perfectly connected to the wall when placing them on the grid. If you rather like to place them against a wall, be sure to always place them with the footprint arrows pointing away from the wall.

This makes it possible to place them in between (water)plants, without using cheats. They can also be placed through other objects. So on pools, fountains, ponds, and oceans. Placement All waterwheels can be placed both on terrain and on all 4 water surfaces available in the game. Of course, the non-rotating waterwheels won’t generate any power.

The more waterwheels on your lot, the more power will be produced. To check how much power is being generated, click your Sim’s phone, click the “HOME” button and go to “Show bills information”. This can also be really useful on off-the-grid lots. Generate Power Another thing I thought would make sense, is if the rotating waterwheels would generate power. The non-rotating & non-animated versions can be used for making abandoned water mills as can be seen in my video. In this case, water streams through a wooden gutter. To make it rotate, it needs water from the top. This waterwheel is a so-called overshot waterwheel. The Wooden Base + Gutter variation for the small waterwheel is added because that’s how it was used in the world that came with Get Together. These deco slots can be used to place one of my bird mods on top of it for example. The supported version for each waterwheel comes with 10 recolors and 2 deco slots on each support. Small Cottage Living waterwheel(4): Non-supported / Supported / Wooden Base + Gutter / Non-rotating & non-animated Large Cottage Living waterwheel(3): Non-supported / Supported / Non-rotating & non-animated. Get Together waterwheel (2): Non-supported / Supported. Variations Instead of only the non-supported versions of these waterwheels, I’ve also added some extra variations. So the first thing I did, made them available in buy mode and add the missing water VFX to all 3 of them.

This one does have falling water from the wheel VFX, but nothing where the wheel hits the water. Almost the same counts for a debug waterwheel which was already added with the Get Together EP. You might have already used the debug small and large waterwheels that came with the Cottage Living EP, but noticed that though they do rotate, there isn’t any water VFX attached to them. Finally back with something new, this time a waterwheel pack.
