🎉Animated - Placeable Birds - Swallow-tailed Gull🎉

I've slightly updated this mod which I made back in 2023 and was last updated in 2023. It can now also be found at CurseForge.

Also check out my other 5 Updated Beach Bird mods:
Animated - Bird Flock - Seagulls
Animated - Placeable Birds - Seagulls (Fly In & Out)
Animated - Placeable Birds - Seagulls (Row)
Animated - Soda Can + Flying Seagulls
Animated - Seaweed + Sandpipers

====================================

ℹ️Animated Swallow-tailed Gulls
There're two mods in this pack. The first invisible 2x2 object, spawns gulls flying in and either landing on the water surface or making fake landings and fly away. The floating ones will fly away eventually too. This all will be repeated for an infinite time.

The other 2x2 object spawns gulls flying way above the object in a random direction or around in circle-ish shapes. Gulls will appear, fly around, disappear and this all will be repeated for an infinite time.
For some examples on where to use it, take a look at my YouTube video made back in 2023.


Placement
The object with floating gulls is only placeable on water surfaces. Sims will be able to swim/float straight through this object.
The object spawning the flying gulls is placeable both on terrain as on water surfaces. Sims will be able to swim/walk straight through this object.
You will also have no problem placing these objects close to other objects, like in between grasses on terrain or above plants and rocks on water surfaces.


Replacing/Removing Invisible Objects
To easily find the invisible objects back later (especially useful on water surfaces), you can build an Invisible Wall Object (visible in build mode) around the objects. Just be aware that Sims can't walk or swim through them anymore.

If you don't want to use my Invisible Walls there's also this way to find them back: Use the recolor tool (E-key) in game to find the object (In between the floating swallow-tailed gulls or around the spot you've placed the object for the flying gulls) . When the name of the object appears, without moving your mouse, press the H-key to switch to the grabbing tool. Now you can easily pick up/delete the object. This works like this for all my invisible object mods.


🔎Search tags
The following search tags can be used to find them in game:
Bakie, Swallow, tailed, Gulls, Gull, Seagull, Seagulls, Beach, VFX and Animated.


🚨What has been updated🚨
• Updated Object's Name, Description & Search Tags.
• This object can't be stolen by a burglar, repossessed or recycled.


If you have already downloaded this mod somewhere else before , be sure to overwrite the old file with this new one (As they have exactly the same name).
