Animated - More Lively White Ducks
You will probably think, why did you make White Duck spawners, if EA already added these to the game? Well, these white ducks will move their heads and blink their eyes which is something EA's white duck spawners don't do.
EA made these more lively ducks themselves for the Life & Death EP, but for some reason they didn't thought it would be a good idea to update their own spawners with this new version. Another big difference, is that my spawners will spawn only a single duck which either swims around or stays at one place all the time.
Something I think makes these ducks to be even more realistic, is that they will disappear in between 8PM and 6AM and will only reappear after reloading the lot. This reloading of the lot can be done solely to reload the ducks, but can also be simply while playing the game and visiting other neighborhoods or even worlds. As long as you return in between 6 in the morning and 8 in the evening, the ducks will reappear.
Repositioning or deleting and replacing the object is an option too of course*.
Static White Duck + On/Off Option
If you don't like the reloading lot part to get them to reappear, I've made another version where you place a static duck (though it has water ripples around it), where you can use a simply on/off option to reload the ducks if they disappeared the evening before.
Also in this case, the vfx of the duck only appears in between 6AM and 8PM, but there's no need to reload the lot.
Another advantage could be that there's no invisible object that needs to be found if you want to replace or remove the ducks.
Difference Static Duck and VFX Duck
To easily see the difference between a static and vfx duck (both spawned with the invisible object and the static object), look for another kind of water ripples around it and if the duck has a shadow casted on the water surface. The vfx versions have slow water ripples and do not cast a shadow.
Another maybe strange thing with these static objects, is that they're placed backwards. I've tried to fix this, but for some reason rotating the mesh gave me strange hard shadows on the duck itself.
*Picking up/grabbing the Invisible objects spawning the floating and swimming duck
When the ducks have disappeared (or when trying to pick up the swimming duck), grabbing these objects can be a bit tricky. To handle with this 'problem', use the recolor tool (E-key) in game. Then hover over the area you thought you placed the object, until it's name appears.
Without moving your mouse, press the H-key to switch to the grabbing tool. You can now easily pick up the object to reposition it or press the delete tool to delete it.
This works like this for all my invisible object mods.
Disabled functions

These objects can be placed on all water surfaces, very close or even through other objects and also close to pond edges.

The static duck has a footprint of 1x0,5 tiles.
